Posters
We have reserved a few spaces for walk-in posters, which must meet the BOSC requirements of open source and recognized license. The ISMB staff specify that posters should not exceed the following dimensions: 0.95 m wide x 1.30 m high.
Open Source Requirement
To be considered for acceptance, software systems representing the central topic in a talk or poster submitted to BOSC must be licensed with a recognized Open Source License, and be freely available for download in source code form at the time they are reviewed.
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation, which sponsors BOSC, is dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of Open Source Software Development within the biological research community. For this reason, if a submitted abstract concerns a specific software system for use by the research community, then that software must be licensed with a recognized Open Source License, and be available for download, including source code, by a tar/zip file accessed through ftp/http or through a widely used version control system like cvs/subversion/git/bazaar/Mercurial.
