This GMOD community meeting was held 13-14 September 2010, in Cambridge, UK, as part of GMOD Europe 2010, which also included Satellite Meetings, an InterMine Workshop, and a BioMart Workshop. The meeting was sponsored and hosted by the Cambridge Computational Biology Institute at the University of Cambridge.

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. The January 2010 GMOD Meeting was the previous event. The next meeting is likely to be held in spring 2011.

Registration

The GMOD Meeting had a registration fee (£50 early, £65 late) to cover catered lunches, coffee/tea breaks, and other expenses.

Guest Speaker

• Principal Investigator, Open Microscopy Environment (OME)

The meeting's guest speaker was Prof Jason Swedlow, who discussed his work with with the Open Microscopy Environment (OME), an open international consortium that develops and releases data specifications and management tools for biological imaging. OME metadata enables image sharing, analysis, and integration with other data types.

Participants

Logistics

This meeting was held in the Biffen Lecture Theatre, in the Department of Genetics on the University of Cambridge campus.

Wireless

Thanks to Ian Clark, the Biffen Lecture Theatre had wireless. From the Cambridge website:

Accounts were setup for all attendees for the duration of GMOD Europe 2010.

Power

The Biffen Lecture Theatre has wireless, but it does not have power outlets throughout the room.

To help us through the days, Gos Micklem secured a 15-socket extension strip which was placed at the back of the room. Please come to the meeting fully charged.

Transportation and Lodging

See the Transportation and Lodging sections on the GMOD Europe 2010 pages for details.

Sponsor: Cambridge Computational Biology Institute

The September 2010 GMOD Meeting was sponsored by the Cambridge Computational Biology Institute, which is hosting the meeting and is also the home of InterMine. The CCBI is "set up to bring together the unique strengths of Cambridge in medicine, biology, mathematics and the physical sciences. Its aim is to create a centre of excellence in research and teaching and to promote collaborations both within the Cambridge area and beyond."
