  • Replicate software. The problem statement is to place on a USB drive - a custom software set in Linux. The problem this addresses is countless of hours wasted when one is trying to get all types of software installed on a computer. To avoid this - a live USB can be created, with the necessary software, so that another person can replicate this. For example, right now I can't open a .sid file on Linux Mint QGIS because there is no SID importer available. Other workarounds are needed. For a comprehensive set of applications that involve reality connect between computer land and reality (going between data and computation and reality, such as CAM, motion control, mapping, navigation, vision, farmign, manufacturing, etc) - this problem is way compounded and only replicable solutions can enable this.
  • This skill is one of the most critical interoperability skills for large scale collaboration.
