BOSC 2002 Schedule

BOSC 2002 speakers and talks have been chosen and the talk times have been set. Please see http://www.open-bio.org/bosc2002/program.html for the complete list.

The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) 2002 will be held in Edmonton, Canada on August 1 & 2 prior to ISMB02 (http://www.ismb02.org). The conference will bring together many of the major contributors to open source bioinformatics to discuss current and future directions in software development for life sciences research. Keynote speakers will include Drs. Ewan Birney, Michael Eisen, and Winston Hide. Please see the conference website at http://www.open-bio.org/bosc2002/ for more information and the complete list of speakers. Questions should be adressed to BOSC organizing committee bosc[at]open-bio.org.

There is still space available for poster submissions and lightning talks. Please send a brief abstract outlining your poster or lightning talk to the committee at bosc[at]open-bio.org by June 28.

Lightning talks
If you have a topic you would like to introduce you can present a 5 minute topic at BOSC simply by sending an abstract to the BOSC committee. There is only space for a few more talks so please submit your proposal soon.

Birds of a Feather (BoFs)
Anyone with a topic of discussion can organize a BoF at BOSC. Simply send in a proposed topic to the committee bosc[at]open-bio.org and we will have a room with a whiteboard where a discussion can be held. We will help announce the BoFs during the conference proceedings. There will also be opportunities to organize a BoF when you arrive in Edmonton.

We look forward to seeing you at the conference. Registration fees are listed on the BOSC website and through the ISMB registration pages (you must register through the ISMB site, but are not required to register for ISMB in order to attend BOSC).

Jason Stajich on behalf of the BOSC organizing committee.
