    And for those without time machines, there's a BOSC conference this summer:

    The 5th annual Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC'2004) is organized by the not-for-profit Open Bioinformatics Foundation (not formally affiliated with Bioinformatics.Org). The meeting will take place July 29-30, 2004 in Glasgow, Scotland and is one of several Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings occurring in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology.

    The focus of the meeting will be on current and emerging Open Source** informatics tools and toolkits. BOSC provides a forum for developers, project groups, users and interested parties to meet personally, exchange ideas and collaborate together.

    In addition, keynote speeches from well known Open Source Bioinformatics leaders are being planned.

    MEETING SCHEDULE & ABSTRACTS

    The morning sessions will feature talks from submitted abstracts. Afternoon sessions will consist of Lightning talk sessions, and Software Demonstration sessions. BoF sessions will be held at the end of each day to bring together project groups and people with specialized interests.

    Lightning-talk Speakers wanted!

    The program committee is currently seeking speakers for the lightning talks at BOSC 2004. Lightning talks are quick - only five minutes long - and a great opportunity for you to give people a quick summary of your open source project, code, idea, or vision of the future.

    If you are interested in giving a lightning talk at BOSC 2004, please email the following:
    • a brief title and summary (one or two lines)
    • a URL for the project page, if applicable
    • information about the open source license used for your software or your release plans.
    We will accept entries on-line until BOSC starts, but space for demos and lightning talks is limited.

    Software Demonstrations wanted!

    If you are involved in the development of Open Source Bioinformatics Software, you are invited to provide a short demonstration to attendees of BOSC 2004.

    If you are interested in giving a software demonstration at BOSC 2004, please email the following:
    • a brief title and summary (one or two lines)
    • a URL for the project page, if applicable
    • Internet connectivity requirements (e.g. website Application served on the world wide web, or web based client application).
    We will accept entries on-line until the BOSC starts, but space for demos and lightning talks is limited.
    • * Because the mission of the OBF is to promote Open Source software, we will favor submissions for projects that apply a recognized Open Source License, or adhere to the general Open Source Philosophy.
