Commission on Crystallographic Computing

On-line Newsletters of the IUCr Computing Commission


Since 2010, the Phenix group (mainly based at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California) has been producing a newsletter with a similar name, but of particular interest to the protein crystallography community; it's available from http://www.phenix-online.org/newsletter.

Call for Contributions

Compcomm Newsletters are expected to appear once per year with primary themes 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.
