Dear all
The registration website is now live - see
http://www.iucr.org/resources/commissions/crystallographic-computing/
schools/mieres2011
We had to change venue at a late stage, so although we are still
calling it the "Mieres" School, it is now going to take place in
Oviedo, about 20km up the road.

Dear all
Those of you who attended the CCP4 Study "Weekend" at Warwick
University this week (either in vivo or in silico), and who stayed
to the end will remember Roberto Steiner's suggestion that some of
the younger members of the audience may wish to become involved in
software development themselves.
The IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Computing ("CompComm") will
be holding a Computing School immediately before the Madrid IUCr
General Assembly and Congress this August that is intended to
expose younger members of the Crystallographic community to the
knowledge and experience of senior developers across the whole
science. CCP4BB readers will possibly be most interested in those
developers in macromolecular crystallography; the following people
in this field have accepted our invitations to speak -
Paul Emsley
Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve
Garib Murshudov
George Sheldrick
Tom Terwilliger
There are many other speakers who will concentrate on their own
specialities (e.g. powder diffraction, small-molecule
crystallography), but who will offer food for thought for all.
The School is intended for prospective (or current...) developers,
not to help those people who just want to run the programs better.
Registration will be open to all, but priority will be given to
postgrads and postdocs; we hope to have a number of bursaries
available for applicants from less economically favoured regions.
We are still finalising items such as the registration fee, but I
expect to be able to make the website live by the end of January
with more comprehensive details.
Watch this space...
