Hi Alexis,

Very cool. Thanks for the great work and the report.

I shall make a news item on the wiki (or feel free to do so yourself).

All the best

We took this opportunity to present and feature the OpenSPIM initiative. Among other activities, the students built and used two OpenSPIMs that are replicates of the machines present in Heidelberg . This was also the opportunity to setup the first OpenSPIM (and first SPIM?) in south america; indeed one of the device we brought will stay in Chile. Our evangelisation campaign has been quite successful  and the interest is very high, I anticipate more OpenSPIMs to popup here.
