Call for contributions to the next CompComm newsletter
The next issue of the Compcomm Newsletter is expected to appear in July of 2003 with the primary theme still to be determined. If no-one is else is co-opted, it will be edited by Lachlan Cranswick.
Contributions would be greatly appreciate on matters of interest to the crystallographic computing community, e.g. meeting reports, future meetings, developments in software, algorithms, coding, programming languages, techniques and news of general interest. Please send articles and suggestions directly to the editor.
