To be packaged

• Swarm - agent-based modelling toolkit

Other packages

• picard (MusicBrainz tagger) (review request ) [in repo]
• libdiscid - dependency for libmusicbrainz/python-musicbrainz2 and also used for picard (review request ) [in repo]
• ESS : Emacs Speaks Statistics (emacs-ess) Emacs add-on package to interface with the statistical packages R, amongst others. (review request ) [in repo]
• bibus bibliography manager for OpenOffice.org (review request ) [in repo]
• latex2emf (review request ), small package to generate an EMF file from LaTeX source, prerequisite for OOoLaTeX extension (see below) [in repo]
• OOoLatex (review request ) Extension for OpenOffice.org to permit the entering and rendering of LaTeX equations directly in Draw/Impress documents. Depends on libEMF. [in repo]

Other packages I'm interested in maintaining, or helping to maintain

• SAGE: the open-source computer algebra/mathematics framework (this is a huge package with many dependencies and will require work from multiple maintainers).
• Bioconductor: bioinformatics packages for R. Many of these packages are now included in Fedora, Pingou is trying to make this a Feature.
• E-Cell: GPL-licensed cell simulator for systems biology
