Supercomputing -GARUDA boot camp OSDD

Dear Friends,

For the past few months we all have been devoting our time and energy to make the Cheminformatics program of OSDD a success under the leadership of Dr.VINOD SCARIA &
Dr. Jaleel who is your Principal Investigator.
Dr.jaleel and team is continuosly working with students & researchers of OSDD-CHEMO div to make the job an enjoyable task with the help of online interactions,video tutorials and much more.
It has been our concerted endeavor to provide super compute power for our scientific work. Towards this end OSDD have tied up with CDAC Garuda grid on which most of you have registered. In order to facilitate your effective usage of Garuda grid resources, OSDD, in collaboration with CDAC is planning a Garuda Boot Camp on 27, 28 and 29 December 2010
Dr. Jaleel the PI will be leading the program and others hosting the workshop at MCC Calicut with Special arrangements to receive all the participants and make there stay comfortable & enjoyable.Boot camp is not only for Garuda training but for giving some idea in data mining techniques , bio informatics and computational chemistry .
Dr. Jaleel and his team will be ready to receive All participants including students,Researchers & scientists working with OSDD few days in advance at Bangalore city base.
Project Director Zakir Thomas has described the God own`s country with some interesting facts
""""""""Calicut is a small but historic city. Thomas Friedman, in his book the ‘World is Flat’ refers to the travel of Vasco de Gama round the cape of Good Hope, to India, where he landed near Calicut. He says Gama went back with tons of merchandise and reported to the King that the world is round. I hope that in today’s interconnected world, this voyage of yours to this historic city will let you experience how the web has made this a flat world, at least so far as access to knowledge is concerned.""""" Zakir thomas has given there best wishes to all participants joining at Malabar Christian college-calicut """"""""
Participants are also very eager to meet all members and researchers of OSDD chemoinformatics group at the bootcamp and share vision and idea regarding Open Source Drug Discovery.
As the crew team of OSDD karnatka leading by Dr Prasad M Alex ,Associate Professor in Chemistry is going to take care of all the members at BANGALORE base who all are joining at bootcamp.
Crew team will be at Bangalore from 22 nd morning to 23 eve at both railway station (Bangalore city and yaswanth pura ) for assisting you all .. it is advisable to all participants to get there tkts reserved to reach Bangalore on 22nd DEC 8.00am to 23 rd evening December.

Thanks to you all once again ,Hope we will achieve one step closer to our goal after getting the SUPERCOMPUTING knowledge from all of the OSDD & MCC calicut scientists .
