[gmx-developers] Workshop on MD simulation software design

[Erik Lindahl]

HI Giacomo (and others who might get the same idea),

Please do *NOT* use the Gromacs mailing lists for general announcements
about meetings or positions, and in particular not the developers list.

The only exception we allow to this is when there is a specific GROMACS
connection (such as hiring somebody to work on GROMACS, or arranging a
GROMACS meeting), and in that case it should be synced with us first.

Cheers,

Erik
