[Bioperl-l] Coming soon: BOSC/Broad Hackathon, BOSC Codefest

[Brad Chapman]

Hi all; 
There are some upcoming coding events and conferences of interest to open source
biology programmers:

- BOSC/Broad Interoperability Hackathon -- This is a two day coding session at
  the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA on April 7-8 focused on improving tool
  interoperability.
  
  Sign up and details: http://j.mp/XJT6ew
  
- Codefest at the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference -- This year BOSC is
  taking place in Berlin from July 19-20 and we'll have a two day coding session
  before the conference. This is the 4th year of Codefests and they've proven to
  be a productive and fun time to work collectively on open source projects.
