[Biopython] Biopython Project Update 20019, was: [Bosc-announce] BOSC 2019 Call for Abstracts

[Peter Cock]

Dear Biopythoneers,

We didn't officially offer to present a poster, so we just have the 5 minute
Lightning Talk Slot to fill for the talk on Thursday (BOSC day 2, aka ISMB
ECCB day 4) - programme links etc available here:

https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc/

The source for our abstract is here:

https://github.com/biopython/talks/tree/master/2019_BOSC/abstract

For slides, I've taken the practical route of working from last year's, which
I did in LaTeX using beamer (a mixed blessing - on the positive side you
get a nice version history with git, but on the negative side exact placement
of images or text as you can do in PowerPoint or Keynote etc is not
available, and typos in the markup need debugging skills to solve):

This is too long (although some slides would be on screen only briefly),
so I would hope to cut this down further (suggestions welcome), but right
now I particularly wanted to ask for feedback on if I am missing anything
or anyone.

You can view the slides here:

You can comment on email (privately if you prefer), or on this GitHub issue:

Thank you all,

Peter
