[Open-bio-l] Codefest 2010: Final details

[Brad Chapman]

Christopher, Chris, Heikki and Hilmar;
Nice discussion. If you have an overview of what you are hoping
to tackle on the BioPerl side, please add it on the wiki page. The
getting started part of the coding sessions is always the hardest
part, so it'll be a huge help if we can stand up at the beginning,
describe the project ideas, and then let people break into groups:

Edit away and this'll point us all in the right direction.
Looking forward to next week,
Brad

I think Hilmar was to do some DBIx::Class stuff for BioSQL at one point, not sure where that is (might be surplanted by SQLite work?).  Would be nice to talk with Mark re: the wrapper system for BioPerl as well.
