Hi! This year's Pan-American Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation Conference will be held June 19-21 in Gaithersburg, MD, USA, with satellite workshops on June 17 and 18. Here's the URL: http://pml.nist.gov/Meetings/SRI2013/index.html I am organizing Workshop #8 on June 18th. It will be on the topic of software for beamline controls and data acquisition. If you work in this area, please consider submitting an abstract. Please pass word about this workshop to your favorite beamline scientist or to the controls and acquisition people at your synchrotron. Thanks!
