[gmx-users] 'Gromacs Symposium' ?

[Kay Gottschalk]

I think a mixture of tutorial and presentation would be best. Perhaps 
one could make parallel panels with algorithm development and tutorial, 
assuming that the people who develop don't need tutorial... 
Furthermore, I very much favor Greece or so - think of the weather!
Altogether, great idea.
