Description of Scheduled BoFs

Biopython (General meeting)

Organizer: Jeff Chang (
jchang@smi.stanford.edu)
This is a non-technical meeting meant for people to learn more about what Biopython does, put faces to email addresses, offer help, and express needs and other ideas for the future.

Biopython (Developers)

Organizer: Jeff Chang (
jchang@smi.stanford.edu)
This is a technical meeting for the core developers. The goal of this meeting is to get together and hash out the API fixes that need to be done for the 1.00 release, including integrating the Martel parsers, cleaning up the sequence code and hashing out a system for SeqIO.

New Bioperlers

Organizer: Peter Schattner (
schattner@alum.mit.edu)
A mini-introduction to Bioperl in a tutorial / presentation format, with plenty of allowance for questions and discussion. For more information, see the writeup of a similar presentation given recently.

Bioperl Developers

Organizer: Jason Stajich (
jason@chg.mc.duke.edu)
Bioperl developers talking about architecture, long range plans, how to make the toolkit more applicable to more people. Getting and keeping more developers on board. Plans for the 1.0 release and paper.

Ensembl for programmers

Organizer: Ewan Birney (
birney@ebi.ac.uk)
Discussion about Ensembl.

BioCORBA/BSANE

Organizer: Juha Muilu (
muilu@embl-ebi.ac.uk)
We will discuss about the recent BioCORBA/BSANE integration. For more info please have a look at http://industry.ebi.ac.uk/~muilu/OMG/BSANE. (This page will be updated frequently) or read the mailing list archive at http://biocorba.org/pipermail/biocorba-l/.

Novella

Organizer: Martin Senger (
senger@embl-ebi.ac.uk)
CORBA access to the analysis. Design and implementation issues as described in the Novella project: http://industry.ebi.ac.uk/novella.

DAS

Organizer: Lincoln Stein (
lstein@cshl.org)
Discussion about DAS.

BioInfrastructure

Organizer: Jason Stajich (
jason@chg.mc.duke.edu)
Informatics Infrastructure design - idea swapping about unified database access and other topics which surfaced on the infrastructure list this past year.

DeCAL

Organizer: Debra Goldberg (
debra@cam.cornell.edu)
A meeting for developers to learn more about DeCAL. We need people with many different interests, including designing additional input data formats, visualization of output, architecture, and algorithmic improvements. Come get involved early, so your ideas will have the greatest impact.

Supporting Open Source Software

Organizer: Tania Hide (
tania@egenetics.com)
The aim of this BoF is to discuss with developers (and, if possible, users too) what issues they face in terms of being able to support development and use of their open source software efforts. Efforts such as documentation (both user documentation and code documentation), installation, user queries, etc. are examples that readily come to mind, but it is assumed that there is more lurking behind the scenes.

NamingBoF / Identifiers

Organizer: Andrew Dalke (
dalke@dalkescientific.com)
Come up with a standard order cialis naming buy cialis scheme for database identifiers so different order cialis online people and software can order cialis professional agree how to exchange references to sequence record. See also the mailing list at http://www.biopython.org/mailman/listinfo/naming-l/.

OmniGene

Organizer: Brian Gilman (
gilmanb@genome.wi.mit.edu)
This will be a technical meeting to discuss the architecture and design for OmniGene, a BioInformatics middleware utilizing DAS/SOAP/JXTA/UDDI.

BioAgent

Organizer: Emanuela Merelli (
merelli@camcic.unicam.it)
BioAgent is an intelligent mobile agent platform designed and developed to support people involved in biodata manipulation. BioAgent is an open source distributed system based on Java and XML.

We propose a meeting for people interested in extracting and integrating biological data using an open-source system which doesn't require all the data to be centralized on a single site.

BioJava

Organizer: Thomas Down (td2@sanger.ac.uk)
Discussion about BioJava
