Feb 2010 LAMMPS Workshop

The first LAMMPS workshop for users and developers was held in Albuquerque, NM on 24-26 Feb 2010. Since this was our first official workshop, we made it invitation-only with participants limited to about 50 folks. PDF files for most of the talks can be downloaded through the click-able links below.
