[Biopython] BOSC 2026 - one week left to submit abstracts

[Peter Cock]

If you're based in the US, and free to travel to Washington DC, please
consider subitting an abstract to the OBF's Bioinformatics Open Source
Conference (BOSC)  soon. The 9 April deadline now less than a week
away!

I'm not aware of any of the main Biopython contributors intending to
go, and there isn't much to justify a Biopytho Project update talk -
but abstracts desrcibing progress in existing open source
bioinformatics projects are in scope!

BOSC is run as part of the larger ISBM conference, and with thousands
of attendees the choice of venue is limited and has to be booked well
over a year in advance. The Europe/North America alternation pattern
continues for now with Denmark and then Canada in eight years time:

ISMB 2026, July 12-16, Washington, DC, United States
ISMB/ECCB 2027, July 18-22, Copenhagen, Denmark
ISMB 2028,  July 23 - 27, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
