This came to me via the debian-science list. Some of you here who have
derived utility from the Atlas accelerated and tuned BLAS library may be in a
position to send a letter of support for Dr Whaley.
Is this something we should even pass on to r-devel ?
Regards, Dirk

Guys,
I go up for tenure this summer. The tenure committee has asked that I get
testimonials from ATLAS users so they can see the importance of the package
to the community. So, if ATLAS has been of use to you, this is the time
to write a letter saying it.
If you are an individual researcher, discussing how ATLAS helps you in
your research will be very helpful.
If you are a repackager of ATLAS, discussing how ATLAS helps your distro,
and how many people use it would be very helpful.
If you are a sys admin who installs ATLAS for others to use, outlining
your lab and the types of research done their would be of great help.
If you have read my papers and find them helpful, discussing that is good as
well, but you don't need to do that for this, since they will ask for
academic reviewers separately.
If you know others that don't monitor this list who might be willing to
write letters, please pass this message on. My colleagues have specifically
asked for this information so they can give weight to my claims that
providing ATLAS is a service to a large number of communities, that
it is widely used, and that its continued production at UTSA will
raise our profile.
If you are willing to write a letter and need further information,
please contact me directly if you like.
Thanks,
Clint
