-Twelve years ago we started with the goal to make Debian the
-distribution of choice for people working in medicine and biology.
-These days it is probably better to say Debian and its derivatives
-which are profiting from the work of the Debian Med team as well.
-
-Today we can say at least in the field of biology we have approached
-this goal since at least in the field of biology you will not find any
-other distributions with such a wide range of *tested* software
-coverage.
-
-The Debian Med team has succeeded in increasing the number of packages
-since the last Debian release (Wheezy) in several tasks.  For instance
-the number of packages that are useful for the maintenance of a medical
-practice has increased from 6 to 10 and the number of packages dealing
-with medical imaging was bumped from 71 to 92.  An important step for
-the acceptance of Debian in hospitals was done by getting GT.M packaged
-since this is the underlying database engine for VistA.  However, the
-largest step was (again) done in the bioinformatics task of Debian Med.
-While in Wheezy 172 packages for application in biology and the
-development of such applications existed we have now 283 packages in
-this field.
-
-Partly this number was not increased by packaging only new software
-but also by negotions with upstream authors to free their code and
-thus we were able to move packages from non-free to main Debian.  The
-most prominent package here is PHYLIP (and thus also its dependencies).
-
-However, we did not only care for the number of packages.  Specifically
-the biological software is used by scientists who depend on reproducible
-results in their work.  To guarantee this we applied Debian means to
-test the quality of packages.  On one hand this is done at package build
-time where we tried hard to run any available test suite provided by the
-upstream authors.  Since debhelper 9 does this automatically for
-standard test suites we bumped nearly all packages to this compatibility
-level.  We also tried hard to rebuild also those packages where the
-upstream code did not changed on one hand to profit from this testing on
-the other hand to possibly gain from new optimisation features of newer
-compilers.
-
-In addition to these tests at build time we tried hard to provide
-autopkgtests (DEP8) to a lot of packages.  This ensures that the package
-produces the same results even if prerequisites might have changed.
-This way we tried our best to support scientists in their attempt to
-get reproducible results.

-# enhanced teamwork
