Satellite Meetings - GMOD Americas 2011
From GMOD
__NOTITLE__
The March 2011 GMOD Meeting will be followed with a day of Satellite Meetings. Satellite meetings are birds-of-a-feather gatherings at GMOD events where community members with common interests gather for part or all of a day to discuss and work on a topic of interest to them. This is the third event that will have satellite meetings. Previous topics include:
- Post Reference Genome Tools at GMOD Europe 2010
- Community Annotation at GMOD Europe 2010
- GMOD REST Hackathon at the January 2010 GMOD Meeting
- BioPerl at the January 2010 GMOD Meeting
- Tripal Working Group at the January 2010 GMOD Meeting
- Chado Natural Diversity Module Working Group - at the January 2010 GMOD Meeting
Topics
Topics for satellites are put forward by community members and GMOD staff. If you have a topic you would like to suggest please add it to the list below. This list will become more solid the week before the event, but topics will also likely be added during the March 2011 GMOD Meeting.
| Topic | Proposers and/or Organizers | Time | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| GMOD Evo Hackathon Followup | Dave Clements | TBD | Followup meeting to the GMOD Evo Hackathon held at NESCent in November 2011. |
| Customizing and Extending JBrowse | Mitch Skinner | TBD | JBrowse has a few different extension points, but they're not (yet) well-documented or widely used. The GMOD meeting would be a good time to review those APIs, relate them to the things that people want to do with them, discuss any potential changes or new APIs to support specific use cases, and potentially start to implement an extension. |
| GMOD Web services toolkit | Josh Goodman | TBD | Come to work on or discuss the GMOD Web services API and the toolkit. |
