Results for our software courses poll
We thank all of you who have replied to our poll on what software courses
or talks are of interest to our users (we received 45 answers). The
results can be seen at:
http://marta/sie/survey/results.php?surveyid=12 (please just ignore the
two harmless error messages). The application does not show what has been
entered into the "other (please specify)" box, so we'll just
tell you: six people suggested a course on the SQL language, a user
proposed a course on using LaTeX for presentations, and another a course
on making posters with corel draw or gimp, as well as animations. Stay
tuned ...
SIE Users Committee
We are pleased to inform that the new SIE Users Committee (CUSIE from its
spanish acronym) is working with renewed energy and dedication. Two meetings
have been held so far, on November 27 2007 and January 17 2008. The minutes
for both meetings, accessible through the
CUSIE
Web portal, are written in an informal style and can be an interesting
and entertaining reading. However, if you are in a hurry please scroll down
and go straight to the list of closed and open actions to see what the CUSIE
is keeping itself occupied with.
Quick Reference to IAC's Computer Services
It often happens that users, especially newcomers (but also seasoned ones ...),
get confused between SIC and SIE, and do not know which one to get in touch
with when they have some specific question or problem. It's true that a lot
of information on what the SIC and the SIE are responsible for is contained
in their websites (SIC:
http://orff.ll.iac.es/sicweb/;
SIE:
https://research.iac.es/sieinvens/SINFIN/),
but sometimes it is not so easily visible as it should be. For this reason,
we have put together this
Quick
Reference Guide to IAC's Computer Services, a simple table where you can
(hopefully) find the specific service you are interested in and be directed
to the corresponding Web page. If you have comments or suggestions on how to
improve or expand this table, please write to
