Hi, Andor.

That would fit in well with my use of the fantastic NFS-funded CyVerse
"Atmosphere" training cluster at the University of Arizona, which I've
used several times now to run my "Introduction to Bio-Linux" courses.

I'm also looking into ways that we might fund running an "Atmosphere"
instance on our local OpenStack HPC service here at the University of
Aberdeen. There is a CyVerse UK project, but they did NOT get funding to
run "Atmosphere".

We tried to get BBSRC funding in the past, but we were unsuccessful.

Bye,

  Tony.
