Hi Maxime,

The 2011 workshop on qm/mm is here: http://www.cecam.org/workshop-4-515.html

where you can find all the lectures.

It looks like the workshop that's been advertised in the Google groups site
and is on here: http://www.cp2k.org/events/

I have to admit I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if the page has
exactly what I was looking for, but it's on my to-do list!

Joyeux Noel!

Dave
