>>> Andreas and I would like to organise a hackathon to get the
>>> modularisation and general improvement plans for BJ3 into action, and
>>> bring the project forward into the 21st century (only 10 years late!).
>>>
>>> At this time I'm trying to gather interest and gauge who might
>>> realistically be able to attend. We will attempt to site the hackathon
>>> at a location closest to the majority of attendees.
>>>
>>> To help me plan numbers and likely costs (for potential sponsors) could
>>> all those who are interested please answer the following questions for
>>> me:
>>>
>>> 1. Name,
>>> 2. Specialist interest within Biojava (e.g. proteomics, microarrays,
>>> sequencing, etc.),
>>> 3. Your physical location (country and and nearest major city - e.g.
>>> Cambridge, London, Newcastle, San Diego, Singapore, etc.),
>>> 4. Whether you think your employer would help pay your airfare and/or 1
>>> week in a hotel to attend (and how far you think you could go on such
>>> funding),
>>> 5. Approximate availability for the next 12 months.
>>>
>>> To get the ball rolling, here's me:
>>>
>>> 1. Richard Holland,  2. Making the whole thing more consistent,
>>> efficient, and easier to use,  3. Southampton (UK),  4. Possibly but
>>> probably only within UK/Europe,  5. Only available in mid-Jan 2010,
>>> otherwise can't do anything until mid-March 2010 onwards.
>>>
>>> Looking forward to hearing your comments! Once I have a good idea of
>>> numbers and distribution, I can get some costs together to give you (and
>>> any potential sponsors) the best idea of what might be involved.
>>>
>>> cheers,
>>> Richard
