[Paraview] newbie presentation

[Pierre Chevalier Géologue]

Hello, list!

I just subscribed to this list, so, according to an old tradition, I 
will briefly introduce myself: I'm a geologist, 44 year-old, living in 
south-western France.  I work as a consultant, mostly for mining 
exploration, but also in all fields of geology. I worked quite a few 
years as an expatriate in a few companies; now I do missions, mostly in 
Africa.

I am a Free Software enthusiast, I discovered GNU/Linux in 1999, on a 
mining exploration camp in the middle of the Sahara, in Mauritania.  
Now, in my company, I only use GNU/Linux debian (stable and unstable) 
machines, and a FreeBSD on the file server side.  There is only one 
application, GDM (a software package from BRGM, for geology), for which 
I must still have a windows 2000 running in a box somewhere.

I used to code and develop applications, a long time ago.  I am now 
quite rusty, but I hope to be able to go back into some serious coding.  
At the moment, I mostly code python or bash scripts.

I recently discovered paraviewgeo, I managed to compile and run it on my 
debian.  I've been invited to join the present list, so here I am!


Now, I will try to do the paraview tutorial, I just downloaded
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/2/2d/ParaViewTutorial310.pdf
and
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/5/5d/ParaViewTutorialData.tar.gz

I'm sure I will soon have many questions to ask...


Best regards,
Pierre
