We are sorry - the SCIEM workshop is currently closed down due to hackers demanding ransomware.

We still try to reconstruct lost data but this will take much time and effort.

Update February 21st, 2023:

Most of our production data is gone for good:-(
This affects the development of both PAST and OSM and destroys many years of corporate work.
The loss of the entire development works on PAST6 - previously planned release date summer 2023 - hurts the most.

Features like native Apple OSX support, an interface to the R statstics engine and database integration for handling large to very large data sets have gone for the forseeable future.

But there is also some light - I was able to recover most if not all of the source code for PAST5 and OSM4 so support for existing customers using these versions is guaranteed.

I still struggle to find the motivation and means to recreate all that.
Many thanks to all the great folks that supported me during the last months!
This really means a lot to me!
