Future of Octave

[bharat pathak]

Hi Isaac,

    You surely do come from industry since u talk about goals.

     Just wanted to share a recent incidence. We were invited
     to a workshop as "guest lecture". The workshop was on
     DSP and Embedded at Hyderabad. Our topic was "FIR
     design and implementation-hardware perspective". Engg
     audience strength was 140. Just for curiosity I asked-
     "how many knew matlab?" and 50% raised their hands.
      And then I asked "how many knew Octave?" and only 2-3
      Raised their hands. b.t.w we started our presentation
      by letting people know what Octave is (6 slides). The FIR
      design and implementation was done using Octave.

      These are just pointers and I leave audience open to derive
      their conclusions.

      My personal pointers are:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (1) Long term goal might be to "Go for the kill".
      (2) Short term goal might be on efficiency improvements.

Thanks and Best Regards
Bharat Pathak
