Dear all,
I have received this
from Axel. I did not see the [ccp4bb] tag on it, so I pass it on. I think
that this is important, since Warren has done so much for us all. I'll see
how I can contribute (I hope it is easily done from abroad).
Fred.

Objet : Warren L Delano Memorial
Award
Dear friends and colleagues:
It's now been over a week since
Warren has passed away. We are trying
to
move toward a permanent way to
honor Warren's memory and what
he stood for: Open Source Computational
Biosciences and molecular
visualization. To do this, Jim Wells and I put
together a mission
statement
with the approval of Warren's family:
The Warren L. DeLano Memorial Award for Computational Biosciences
This
award shall be given to a top computational bioscientist in
recognition
of the
contributions made by Warren L. DeLano to creating powerful
visualization tools
for three dimensional structures and making them
freely accessible.
The award,
accompanying lecture, and honorium will
be given annually in the
context of a
national bioscience meeting or a
Bay Area gathering of computational
bioscientists
at Stanford, UCSF or
UC Berkeley. For the award special emphasis
will be given
for Open
Source developments and service to the bioscience community.
The award
selection committee, consisting of experts in the
computational and
biological sciences, will accept nominations from anyone..
To make
something like this happen in perpetuity would take about
~100K for
the
endowment.
For donations, Warren's family has set up a tax deductible
fund:
Silicon Valley Community Foundation
memo: Warren L. DeLano
Memorial Fund
2440 West El Camino Real, Suite 300
Mountain View, CA
94040
tel: 650.450.5400
We hope that you'll consider making a
contribution (not matter
how small) in Warren's honor. Also, please
forward this message
to anybody who might be able be willing to
contribute.
Best regards,
Axel

Dear All,
to provide additional incentive for
smaller donations to the
Warren Delano Memorial Fund, I am raffling off a
signed
copy of my book (a 0 value) for .00 raffle ticket.
I donate an
additional book (up to 5 books), each time we reach
150 tickets. All
proceeds will go to the Fund.
