MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR SPEAKERS
The 5th annual Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC'2004) is
organized by the not-for-profit Open Bioinformatics Foundation (not
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.
see http://www.iscb.org/ismb2004/ for more information.
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.

SPEAKERS & ABSTRACTS WANTED
The program committee is currently seeking abstracts for talks at BOSC
2004. BOSC is a great opportunity for you to tell the community about
your use, development, or philosophy of open source software development
in bioinformatics. The committee will select several submitted abstract
for 25-minute talks and others for shorter "lightning" talks. Accepted
abstracts will be published on the BOSC web site.
If you are interested in speaking at BOSC 2004, please send us by May 5th:
* an abstract (no more than a few paragraphs)
* a URL for the project page, if applicable
* information about the open source license used for your software or
your release plans.
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
send us:
* 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.<br/>
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 send us:
* 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.
