[Q-e-developers] Advanced Quantum ESPRESSO Developers' Meeting 2016 (linear-response)

[Iurii Timrov]

Dear All,

Many thanks for all your replies and for so numerous interest in the 
discussion and meeting regarding the linear-response codes in Quantum 
ESPRESSO!

Would you please be so kind to indicate in the Doodle questioner the 
dates which are convenient for you for a discussion on Skype/WebEx about 
the need for a refactoring or reorganization of the linear-response 
codes in QE:

As far as I know, Skype allows maximum 10 people for a conference call. 
We are many more than 10. I would suggest that we try to use WebEx.

Once we choose the date of the Skype/WebEx conference, we must fix a 
time. As Marco Buongiorno Nardelli suggested, we can make it at 02:00 PM 
GMT (04:00 PM Rome, 10:00 AM New York). Hopefully, this time would be, 
more or less, convenient for everybody.

Thanks to all!

Greetings,
Iurii
