Messages from the Psi-k trustees and other topics of relevance to the Psi-k community, e.g. community-led software codes or databases…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a 3-4 week delay between posts being submitted and emails being sent to the mailing list. Please bear with us while we try to improve this.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

We are pleased to announce the first LGPL-licensed open source version of DFTB+ (release 17.1).

DFTB+ offers a fast approximate density functional theory based quantum simulation tool with a range
of functionalities for ground and excited state calculations.

Our aim is to extend the active user base beyond the community of the 2000+ users who had 
previously registered for access the the code under the older licence. We want to make DFTB+ useful
for an even broader scientific community in future years. We have therefore changed the license of
the software to the open source license LGPL, enabling you to:

* obtain and use DFTB+ without any registration process, independent of whether your research is
  commercial or not

* interface and distribute DFTB+ as part of your academic or commercial software package,

* easily contribute to DFTB+ by using our publicly hosted repository.
