[Dave Clements]

Hello all,

This is a reminder that the *early registration deadline for the 2014
Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2014) is May 23, this Friday*.  Registering
early assures you a seat and saves up to 70% on registration costs.  See
http://bit.ly/gcc2014reg for details.

The program has also been published and features 20 accepted talks, a
keynote by Steven Salzberg, two poster sessions, lightning talks, and
Birds-of-a-Feather breakouts.  See http://bit.ly/gcc2014program.

Thanks, and we do hope you'll join us in Baltimore!
