We are delighted to be a member of the subcommittee for the Alan Turing Year, which is happening in 2012. Turing was an amazing mathematician, cryptanalyst and pioneer of computer science who helped with the British War effort at Bletchley Park, developed the earliest computers and yet was wholly shunned and misused by society for his homosexuality. This inspirational figure in being celebrated through a number of events and conferences throughout 2012 and we are really excited about getting involved in the project.For more information on Alan Turing, please visit http://www.turing.org.uk/turing/
