Dear GeneFun partners,

   I. Minutes of previous meeting:
   ___________________________

   Please find attached the Minutes of our last meeting in Barcelona.


   II. 1st annual GeneFun meeting:
   ___________________________

   I would like to confirm (finally) that we are going to hold our
   Annual Project meeting on April 29-30, in Barcelona again, just
   before the Meeting of the Protein Society.  Luis has already
   reserved a room.

   In terms of timing, our meeting will start Fri April 29 at 2 pm and
   end on Sat 30 April 3-4 pm.  This will give everyone time to get
   ready for the opening evening of the Protein Society meeting

   ========

   Our meeting will be primarily focused on the science.  Different
   groups will be given enough time, 30min or so, to present research
   carried out within the project.  We will also have time to discuss
   common work on WP's.

   So Students and Post Docs are encouraged to participate!

   Please let me know as soon as possible the number and names of
   people from your group who are going to attend, and the title of
   the presentation from your laboratory.

   Christian Blaschke has agreed to be the local organiser for this
   meeting.  So please CC him on your reply
   (blaschke@almabioinfo.com), so that he can make room/hotel
   reservations for those who will not have their hotel booked through
   the Protein Society meeting.


   III. 1st Annual Progress Report
   __________________________

   Last but not least, we need your yearly progress report, by March
   31!  To that end, WP coordinators need to get the report from the
   participants of each WP, collate it, provide a short summary
   reviewing the progress with regards to milestones and deliverables,
   and a paragraph outlining the tasks for the next year.

   As a reminder, here is the list of WP's and their respective
   coordinators:
