Re: ECM-Durban

[David Watkin <david.watkin@chemistry.oxford.ac.uk>]

It was a test to see how many people read the paper properly!


About the new algorithms - Im not sure I am really a suitable chairman,
but Sacha will try to dominate the choice of speakers anyway!  I am
thinking to invite someone from the 'structures from powders' commumity,
some one for ML methods, may be somone on direct methods, and something
about modulated structures.  What do you think?


I would be happy to give a talk with almost no mention of CRYSTALS.  There
will be plenty of that at the workshop.  Which sessio will you be speaking
at, and what topic?

Best wishes
			David
