DATES: November 8-12, 2010
LOCALE: US National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in Durham, NC, USA
URL: http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_Evo_Hackathon

This hackathon targets three critical gaps in the capabilities of the GMOD toolbox that currently limit its utility for evolutionary research:

1. Visualization of comparative genomics data
2. Visualization of phylogenetic data and trees
3. Support for population diversity and phenotype data

If you are interested in these areas and have relevant expertise, you are strongly encouraged to apply. Relevant areas of expertise include more than just software development: if you are a GMOD power user, visualization guru, domain expert (comparative, phylogenetics, population, ...), or documentation wizard, then your skills are needed!
