Around 2 years ago - on the list of things to do (which included the On-line newsletter) was to get an informal competition going to try and get a good looking logo for the Computing Commission. No one objected at the time - so would it be OK to get on the case with this - and have a CompComm logo competition. With the Siena 2005 school coming up - it would be good to also include this for logo submissions. The BCA seems to be very good at these logo competitions - and it would be interesting to see what people come up with. (Newsletter priorities stopped this happening in the past) If no-one objects, I will get on the case with this on the weekend. Lachlan. PS: Intended rule is that participants retain the copyright of their art - but by submitting to the competition they are giving the IUCr Computing Commision the right to make unrestricted use of their art as a log. Unless someone has a better and non-intimidating suggestion that would not alienate possible submissions? > > Hi > > One thing worries me about this in particular; most macromolecular > crystallographers compute using one of the UNIX based operating systems - > it would be very desirable to have the windows machines dual-boot with > Linux, or there is going to be a severe shortage of facilities (unless > people bring their own) for use in a workshop. > > Of course, now that we have OSX there is no such problem with the Macs... > > Harry > -- > Dr Harry Powell, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, > MRC Centre, Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 2QH > > See http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry for Mosflm, BCA and > crystal growing details > > -- ----------------------- Lachlan M.
