We received the following from Amelia Taylor and Greg Smith:
Dear Colleague:
We are excited to announce the launch of The Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry: Macaulay 2. This new electronic-only journal is devoted to short articles on software related to research in algebra and geometry. Each article (not to exceed 3 printed pages including references) will be accompanied by the appropriate source code. The aim is to promote the development of good code for use by the mathematical research community. All articles are refereed. More information can be found at the journal website: http://j-sag.org/.

Also, the organizers of the conference “Geometric, Homological and Combinatorial Aspects in Commutative Algebra” have posted photos from the conference at the conference website. Go see!
