provided a forum for developers and users to interact and share research results and ideas in open source bioinformatics. BOSC’s broad spectrum of topics includes practical techniques for solving bioinformatics problems; software development practices; standards and ontologies; approaches that promote open science and sharing of data, results and software; and ways to grow open source communities while promoting diversity within them.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Calibri'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Calibri'>In the past, BOSC has taken place the two days before ISMB as a Special Interest Group (SIG). This year, ISMB is trying a new structure: the SIGs (now called COSIs) are integrated into the main ISMB meeting. BOSC will take place the first two full days of ISMB (July 22-23). Attendees will have the option to register for the full ISMB/ECCB meeting (July 21-25) or for just two days (there is no single-day registration option this year). A limited number of partial travel fellowships will be granted to some accepted speakers who would not otherwise be able to attend BOSC--please see <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_OBF_obf-2Ddocs_blob_master_Travel-5Ffellowships.md&d=DwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=fbHa8Njtvh9VmSnzJxiEUTW9NWDwMMwQAzhgZDO41GQ&m=PJYq-vmbMOA90WvAmBlEuy5bwDVFcKYRuConC9rZmr0&s=KUrrYsmELP5xQJ4j15hBxCUwMOrXISu0v630D6wkWmM&e=">https://github.com/OBF/obf-docs/blob/master/Travel_fellowships.md</a> for more information.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Calibri'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Calibri'>We encourage you to submit one-page abstracts on any topic of relevance to open source bioinformatics and open science.
