Housing at the meeting

We have arranged for a block of hotel rooms at the Courtyard Marriott Downtown Toronto, though many people who are attending ISMB and BOSC may just extend their stays at their hotels. To get the discounted rate of $139, call 800-847-5075 and ask for either the “GMOD Meeting” or code “CMG”. This block is only available until June 17th, after which rooms will be based upon availability only.

The meeting will be held in the MaRS conference room, at |101 College Street.

Agenda Proposals

If you have something you want to be on the agenda at this meeting please add it below.

  • GMOD Help Desk - Dave Clements
    • priorities for 2008-2009
    • Evaluation - Has the Help Desk been helpful? - Dave and Don Gilbert
    • Grant review service
    • Funding GMOD
    • GMOD and the Google Summer of Code in 2009?
    • The Chado Natural Diversity module
    • Galaxy Integration. Galaxy already integrates with BioMart, and the current (May 2008) development version of Galaxy integrates with the current (May 2008, 1.69 Beta, e.g. "stable") development version of GBrowse. Once this goes to production in both Galaxy and GBrowse, should Galaxy work on integrating with other GMOD components such as Chado or InterMine?
