> The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) covers the wide range<br>
> of open source bioinformatics software being developed, and<br>
> encompasses the growing movement of Open Science, with its focus on<br>
> transparency, reproducibility, and data provenance. We welcome<br>
> submissions relating to all aspects of bioinformatics and open science<br>
> software, including new computational methods, reusable software<br>
> components, visualization, interoperability, and other approaches that<br>
> help to advance research in the biomolecular sciences. We particularly<br>
> wish to invite those who have not participated in previous BOSCs to<br>
> join us this year!<br>
><br>
> Two full days of talks, posters, panel discussions, and informal<br>
> discussion groups will enable BOSC attendees to interact with other<br>
> developers and share ideas and code, as well as learning about some of<br>
> the latest developments in the field of open source bioinformatics.<br>
> BOSC is sponsored by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, a non-profit,<br>
> volunteer-run group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy<br>
> of Open Source software development and Open Science within the<br>
> biological research community.<br>
><br>
> We invite you to submit one-page abstracts for talks and posters. As<br>
> mentioned, any topics relevant to open source bioinformatics and open<br>
> science are welcome. Here are some potential session topics (but<br>
> please don't feel limited to these!):<br>
> Open Science and Reproducible Research<br>
> Standards and Interoperability<br>
> Data Science<br>
> Visualization<br>
> Translational Bioinformatics<br>
> Bioinformatics Open Source Libraries and Projects<br>
><br>
> If your company or organization is interested in being a sponsor for<br>
> BOSC 2015, please contact us! Sponsors in 2014 included Google, Eagle<br>
