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.
