Free software development
MuPAD-Combinat (http://mupad-combinat.sf.net/) and Sage-Combinat (http://combinat.sagemath.org/): I coordinate this open source software (LGPL/GPL) since I launched it with Florent
Hivert in 2000. Its mission is to improve the open source mathematical system Sage
(previously MuPAD) as an extensible toolbox for computer exploration in algebraic
and enumerative combinatorics, and foster code sharing between researchers in this
area. Its use played an essential role in 60+ publications, with 30+ contributors. Funding: ANR/NSF/Google. Industry collaborator -2008: Sciface GMBH. Personal contribution to Sage since 2008: author of 55 tickets and 55 000 lines de
code/doc/tests; referee of 27 tickets.
