[Biopython] Fwd: [bosc-announce] BOSC 2022 call for abstracts 🍐

[Peter Cock]

Hello all,

I should have forwarded this earlier, but there is still one week left for
submitting a BOSC talk abstract (and longer for a late breaking post or
short lightning talk). Please do consider giving a talk about your own open
source bioinformatics work.

We have often presented a Biopython project update talk at BOSC, although I
feel with the general slow down during the pandemic we'd struggle to fill a
longer talk slot. What do people think? I personally do not intend to
travel to the USA for BOSC 2022, and while remote presenters are possible
in person is much preferred. Is another regular contributor keen to present?

There will also be an informal hackathon type event afterwards, the BOSC
CollaborationFest or CoFest. Like the meeting, that's likely to be a hybrid
with some people there in person and others online.

Thanks,

Peter

About BOSC

The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference promotes and facilitates the open
source development of bioinformatics tools and open science. Since 2000,
BOSC has provided a forum for developers and users to interact and share
research results and ideas in open source bioinformatics and open science.
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.

As usual, BOSC will include keynote talks, longer and shorter (lightning)
talks from submitted abstracts, posters, Birds of a Feather, and more!

Abstract submission

We encourage you to submit abstracts
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2022/submit/> (due April 21 – no
extensions) on any topic relevant to open source bioinformatics or open
science. After review, some abstracts will be selected for lightning talks,
longer talks, or posters.

Abstract submission will be via ISMB’s EasyChair. Note that ISMB/ECCB
requires a short (200-word) text-only abstract for all submissions (talk or
poster), plus a “long abstract” (PDF, 2 pages max) if you want to be
considered for a talk. Abstracts that are not chosen for talks will
automatically be considered for posters.

A second, later round of submissions will end May 19. Abstracts submitted
in the late round will be considered for posters and a limited number of
“late-breaking lightning talk” slots; they are not eligible for longer
talks.


Registration fee assistance

We realize that the cost of ISMB may be prohibitive for some. If you are
submitting an abstract to BOSC and would have difficulty covering the cost
of registration,* you can request registration fee assistance right on the
abstract submission form*. (Only the conference chairs will see these fee
assistance requests — the abstract reviewers will not.) Those who are not
submitting abstracts can apply for an OBF Event Fellowship
<https://www.open-bio.org/event-awards/> (deadline April 1, 2022).

BOSC topics include (but are not limited to):

   -

   Ontologies: Open Source Tools and Approaches (new this year – joint
   session with Bio-Ontologies COSI <http://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/>)
   -

   Open Science and Reproducible Research
   -

   Open Biomedical Data
   -

   Citizen/Participatory Science
   -

   Standards and Interoperability
   -

   Data Science
   -

   Workflows
   -

   Open Approaches to Translational Bioinformatics
   -

   Open Science for Global Health
   -

   Developer Tools and Libraries
   -

   Inclusion, Outreach and Training
   -

   Bioinformatics Open Source Project Reports (about new or existing
   projects)


We look forward to reading your abstract and seeing you (in person or
virtually) at BOSC 2022!


Sincerely,

BOSC 2022 Organizing Committee: Nomi Harris, Karsten Hokamp, Hervé Ménager,
Monica Munoz-Torres, Deepak Unni, Nicole Vasilevsky, Jason Williams
