"Before GPS became an everyday utility, it was a hard mathematical problem.
In the 1950s–70s, Gladys West, a mathematician at the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia, worked on one of the most difficult challenges in satellite navigation: accurately modeling the Earth itself.
Modern GPS accuracy depends on:
• Precise satellite ephemerides
• Accurate gravitational field modeling
• Correct Earth reference frames
West’s work directly advanced all three.
Her contributions weren’t widely recognized at the time. In fact, it wasn’t until 2018 that she was inducted into the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame—decades after GPS reshaped global navigation, logistics, finance, defense, and mobile computing...
Before GPS could tell us where we are, someone had to define what the Earth actually looks like—mathematically…”

This is just glorious. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it and it feels like something I understand enough from this that I can contribute.

I would really, really like a book-length overview like Smith's "Software Build Systems" https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/9780132171939 but for package management and package managers - something that compares and contrasts existing examples at a design/architectural/needs level and provides a framework for thinking about the entire class of problem.
@gvwilson Until this happens, the Package Management devroom track at the upcoming #FOSDEM26 might be useful, as well as some of the talks at the #HPC, #BigData, and #DataScience one:

Professionals of Fedi!
What are your suggested ways to spend "Professional Development" funds for someone who has a deadline to spend them? The funds must be used specifically for career growth opportunities.
I'm asking on behalf of someone in the Public Health field. Epidemiology, Data Science, etc are all relevant as well. If you have book recommendations, they'll take those too!
