Now everyone can post to the community

We've set up an Applied Mechanics Discussion Group, a link to which is in the sidebar of Applied Mechanics News. Let's say you have an item of interest to our community - a piece of news, a point of view, a remarkable research paper, a job ad, or a conference ad - anything that you'd like to tell other mechanicians. Here is how you can participate in the Discussion Group.

• Using an email address and a password to create a Google Account (if you don't already have one).
• Click "Sign in" at the upper-right corner of the Applied Mechanics Discussion Group. This leads you to a page where you can fill in the email address and the password of your Google Account.
• To post an item in the Discussion Group, click “Start a new topic”.
• To discuss any existing topic, click "Reply" at the bottom of each topic.
• You can get the RSS feed of the Discussion Group.

Professors, professionals, postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate students - well, anyone who'd like to say anything to other mechanicians - are welcome.

If you have further questions, email me. Give this Discussion Group a try!

Note added on 5 April 2006: The Applied Mechanics Discussion Group uses a free service called Google Group. In exchange for this service, Google inserts into the Discussion Group many ads, from which we receive no revenue. The ads, however, looks relevant to our community.
