[Biopython-dev] Fwd: [Bosc-announce] BOSC 2015 Call for Abstracts

[Peter Cock]

Shameless advert as BOSC co-chair: please come to give a talk
or poster at BOSC in Dublin this summer (and maybe stay on for
the full ISMB 2015 conference too?)

The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) covers the wide range
of open source bioinformatics software being developed, and
encompasses the growing movement of Open Science, with its focus on
transparency, reproducibility, and data provenance. We welcome
submissions relating to all aspects of bioinformatics and open science
software, including new computational methods, reusable software
components, visualization, interoperability, and other approaches that
help to advance research in the biomolecular sciences. We particularly
wish to invite those who have not participated in previous BOSCs to
join us this year!

Two full days of talks, posters, panel discussions, and informal
discussion groups will enable BOSC attendees to interact with other
developers and share ideas and code, as well as learning about some of
the latest developments in the field of open source bioinformatics.
BOSC is sponsored by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, a non-profit,
volunteer-run group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy
of Open Source software development and Open Science within the
biological research community.

We invite you to submit one-page abstracts for talks and posters. As
mentioned, any topics relevant to open source bioinformatics and open
science are welcome. Here are some potential session topics (but
please don't feel limited to these!):
   Open Science and Reproducible Research
   Standards and Interoperability
   Data Science
   Visualization
   Translational Bioinformatics
   Bioinformatics Open Source Libraries and Projects

If your company or organization is interested in being a sponsor for
BOSC 2015, please contact us! Sponsors in 2014 included Google, Eagle
Genomics, GigaScience, and Curoverse--we thank them for their support.

BOSC 2015 Organizing Committee:
Nomi Harris and Peter Cock (co-chairs), Raoul Jean Pierre Bonnal, Brad
