Something I neglected to mention in the previous email about CoMSES Net is how to join. We've tried to make the process as simple as possible. First, go to <http://www.openabm.org>
1) If you are not logged in, you'll see a "Become a Member" tab on the menu at the left of the page. You will also have a place on the login tab (top right of the screen) with a blurb on membership and a "more information" button. If you automatically log in when you hit the page, you can always log out to get these options. 2) Whether you are logged in or not, under the "OpenABM Announcements" section, there is a blurb on CoMSES memberships with a "More" arrow that takes you to the membership pages. On the initial membership page you can choose to become an affiliate member or full member. If you were registered with OpenABM, you are already an affiliate member. If not, the process is quite easy. Applying to become a full member involves filling out a very short form and agreeing to the ethical standards of CoMSES and to contributing to the CoMSES community. After review, you will receive an email with instructions as to how to activate your full membership. If you have further questions or with the membership registration, contact Nathan Rollins <[email protected]> or Sean Bergin <[email protected]>. If you have questions about the membership agreements, please contact me, Marco Janssen <[email protected]>, or Lillian Alessa <[email protected]> Best regards Michael ____________________ C.
