Dear Fred,
Thank you for posting it to the newsgroup. The DeLano family has
setup a PayPal account to deposit a donation into the

Dear all,
I have received this from Axel. I did not see the [ccp4bb] tag on
it, so I pass it on. I think that this is important, since Warren
has done so much for us all. I'll see how I can contribute (I hope
it is easily done from abroad).
Fred.

Objet : Warren L Delano Memorial Award
Dear friends and colleagues:
It's now been over a week since Warren has passed away. We are trying
to
move toward a permanent way to honor Warren's memory and what
he stood for: Open Source Computational Biosciences and molecular
visualization. To do this, Jim Wells and I put together a mission
statement
with the approval of Warren's family:
The Warren L. DeLano Memorial Award for Computational Biosciences
This award shall be given to a top computational bioscientist in
recognition of the
contributions made by Warren L. DeLano to creating powerful
visualization tools
for three dimensional structures and making them freely accessible.
The award,
accompanying lecture, and honorium will be given annually in the
context of a
national bioscience meeting or a Bay Area gathering of computational
bioscientists
at Stanford, UCSF or UC Berkeley. For the award special emphasis
will be given
for Open Source developments and service to the bioscience
community.
The award selection committee, consisting of experts in the
computational and
biological sciences, will accept nominations from anyone..
To make something like this happen in perpetuity would take about
~100K for
the endowment.
For donations, Warren's family has set up a tax deductible fund:
Silicon Valley Community Foundation
memo: Warren L. DeLano Memorial Fund
2440 West El Camino Real, Suite 300
Mountain View, CA 94040
tel: 650.450.5400
We hope that you'll consider making a contribution (not matter
how small) in Warren's honor. Also, please forward this message
to anybody who might be able be willing to contribute.
Best regards,
Axel
