Dear GAP Forum,
You may be interested to know that during the current ISSAC 2008 conference in Linz "The GAP Group" was awarded the biannual "Richard Dimick Jenks Memorial Prize" for Excellence in Software Engineering Applied to Computer Algebra ( see http://www.sigsam.org/awards/jenks/ ). The prize was received by Steve Linton, Alexander Konovalov and Frank Luebeck on behalf of the whole GAP development and support community, a point that was emphasised in our brief responses. With the prize we got 4 plaques as shown here: http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Frank.Luebeck/tmp/pl1.jpg We will keep these in the current four GAP centres in the name of *all* contributors to GAP. Steve, Alexander and Frank. -- Steve Linton School of Computer Science & Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Computational Algebra University of St Andrews Tel +44 (1334) 463269 http://www.cs.st-and.ac.uk/~sal Fax +44 (1334) 463278 The University is a charity registered in Scotland : No SC013532 _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
