November 2007 issue of the IUCr Computing Commission Newsletter on-line

The November 2007 Seventh issue of the IUCr Computing Commission
Newsletter is available as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file via:

  http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/newsletters/2007nov/

Besides having articles of general interest, this edition has
the theme:

Call for Contributions to the Next CompComm Newsletter

The ninth issue of the Compcomm Newsletter is expected to appear around
August of 2009 (2008 being an IUCr congress year) with the primary theme
to be determined. If no-one is else is co-opted, the newsletter will be
edited by Lachlan Cranswick.

Contributions would be also greatly appreciated on matters of general
interest to the crystallographic computing community, e.g. meeting
reports, future meetings, developments in software, algorithms, coding,
historical articles, programming languages, techniques and other news.
