Hi All,

As an update to computing commission members/consultants : - 
draft Mieries 2011 computing school webpage with basic starting
information (mainly the organising committee and intended timetable
structure) is available on the web:

 http://www.iucr.org/resources/commissions/crystallographic-computing/schools/mieres2011/

-------------

The other main activity the Computing Commission performs is newsletters
(roughly one per year)

For CompComm members/consultants not involved in the Mieres 2011
organising committee, would people strongly consider volunteering as
editors with a theme/computing issue they consider useful in promoting?

If there are a good number of responses, a newsletter can have more than
one editor, and more than one theme.

Past issues at located at:
  http://www.iucr.org/resources/commissions/crystallographic-computing/newsletters

The main role of the editor(s) is to actively solicit and collate
articles from a list of authors they have targetted. (general requests
to the community for articles tend to get zero responses). I can do the
reformatting to the final PDF file.

Newsletter timetable would be :
   2009 newsletter by end of November 
       (so articles would be due by start of November).
   2010 newsletter by mid/late 2010.

-----------

The main priority for the computing commission is in organising the
triennial computing school held just prior to an IUCr congress.

However, if there are other activities people feel the commission should
be doing this triennium , feel free to suggest it. Though the general
principle is that the people who want to see an initative happen are the
ones expected to do the work. In the past, suggestions without a time
and work committment from proponents tended to go nowhere.

Regards,

Lachlan
