Weekend digest of tools and licenses related to reproducible R&D

Dear colleagues,

Here is a small summary of tools and licenses that may be useful
for reproducible research and experimentation that I assembled
after SEA'14 conference in Boulder:

* CDE tool: automatically create portable Linux applications
  with all dependencies:
  http://www.pgbovine.net/cde.html

* Docker tool: pack, ship and run applications as a lightweight container
  https://www.docker.io

* The IPython Notebook: a web-based interactive computational
  environment where you can combine code execution, text,
  mathematics, plots and rich media into a single document:
  http://ipython.org/notebook.html

* CRAPL license: promote academic code sharing even if it's ugly -
  it's an interesting concept, though not helping my research problems
  at this moment since I need (and promote) not just code and data
  sharing but also their APIs and meta-description to be reusable...

Have a good weekend,
Grigori
