Revision as of 07:21, 5 January 2011
__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.

Agenda
Assistant Professor of Genetics and Statistics
Bioinformatics Research Center
North Carolina State University
Our guest speaker is Dr. Eric Stone of North Carolina State University. Eric will speak on his experience with the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP), a project using 192 inbred lines to detect "polymorphisms (SNPs and indels) with a minor allele frequency of 0.02 or greater." A project with the scope of the DGRP poses unique challenges in areas that GMOD focuses on. Eric will discus the scope of the project, the types of data being generated, some of the scientific goals, and community needs and solutions with respect to visualization, data management, annotation, and providing useful and informative access to that much data. As sequencing prices continue to drop, many GMOD users may be doing similarly large projects in the not too distant future.
A detailed agenda will be posted shortly before the meeting.
Confirmed Speakers
Although a detailed agenda won't be available until the week before the meeting, we will list confirmed speakers and topics here as people commit.
Friday: Introduction to GMOD
This session the night before the meting will be an introduction to the GMOD project, community, and components. It is meant to give GMOD newcomers a clearer picture of the project in advance of the meeting.
| Time | Topic | Presenter(s) | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7pm-9m | Introduction to GMOD | Scott Cain |
Saturday: Day 1
This agenda will be finalized prior to the meeting. In the meantime, please see the confirmed speakers list.

Sunday: Day 2

Monday: Satellite Meetings
GMOD Americas 2011 continues on Monday with partial and full day Satellite Meetings.
Participants
Meeting participants will be listed here as the meeting gets closer.
Logistics
See the GMOD Americas 2011 page for information on lodging, transportation and meals.
The meeting will be held in the A103 conference room of the Erwin Mill Building. A103 is on the ground floor of Erwin Mill, directly below NESCent. The Introduction to GMOD session on Friday evening will be help in NESCent's seminar room. Both events will have clear signs directing you to the appropriate room.
Feedback
We will solicit feedback from meeting participants at the end of the meeting, and post it here once we have it.
Feedback on previous meetings (September 2010, January 2010, August 2009, January 2009, and 2008 and before) has been very positive.
