__NOTITLE__
The next GMOD community meeting will be held March 5-6 2011, at NESCent in Durham, North Carolina, as part of GMOD Americas 2011, which also includes Satellite Meetings, and a GMOD Course.
For the first time, this meeting will be preceded by a GMOD Overview session the night before. This session is intended to help GMOD newcomers (of which there are usually many) learn the big picture in GMOD and get the most out of the meeting that follows.
This course is hosted and sponsored by NESCent.
GMOD Meetings are a mix of user and developer presentations, and are a great place to find out what is happening in the project, what's coming up, and what others are doing. See the September 2010 GMOD Meeting page for an idea of what happens at a GMOD meeting.
Registration
Registration for the meeting will open in January. This will be announced on GMOD Mailing Lists and the GMOD News page. The registration fee will be around $80.
We are accepting applications for the 2011 GMOD Spring Training until January 7.
Agenda Proposals
If you have a presentation you want to give, or have a topic that you would like to see covered, please add it here. If you want to second a topic that has already been listed, then add your name to the end of the line. This will give us an idea of interest.
- GMOD Evo Hackathon Report - suggested by Dave Clements
- JBrowse / GBrowse / GMOD Help Desk grant update - suggested by Dave C.
- Add your topic here
Guest Speaker Nominations
We are seeking nominations for a guest speaker. A good guest speaker for a GMOD meeting is someone who
- Works in bioinformatics, but not directly on the GMOD project.
- Works in an area of interest to the GMOD community.
- Is already nearby. For this meeting this includes anyone at the numerous local universities and biotech organizations.
- Is willing to speak for complimentary lunches and admission to this meeting. (These last two requirements exist because we don't have funds to pay travel expenses.)
Our guest speakers at the previous three meetings were:
- Heng Li, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute: Quest for Standard: Sequence alignment/map format (SAM) and SAMtools
- Maryann Martone, University of California - San Diego: The Neuroscience Information Framework: Establishing a practical semantic framework for neuroscience
- Jason Swedlow, University of Dundee: The Open Microscopy Environment: Open Informatics for Biological Imaging
All three talks were highlights at their respective meetings. If you have anyone in mind, or would like to nominate yourself, please contact the GMOD Help Desk with your suggestion.
