From covitzp at mail.nih.gov Thu Apr 15 11:16:59 2004 From: covitzp at mail.nih.gov (Covitz, Peter (NIH/NCI)) Date: Wed Apr 21 07:37:46 2004 Subject: [Bioperl-announce-l] caBIOperl released Message-ID: <27C204BD76CBC142BA1AE46D62A8548E0A3BDA10@nihexchange9.nih.gov> Dear bioperl, I'd like to let you know that a new Perl API to the NCI's caBIO data management system has been released. Called "caBIOperl", it was designed with bioperl style in mind. At some point we'd like to contribute it directly to bioperl. caBIOperl is essentially a Perl version of the caBIO Java API. You can instantiate caBIO data objects directly as Perl objects, just like you can when working with caBIO in Java. Under the hood caBIOperl uses the caBIO SOAP-XML interface, but it parses all the XML and populates objects with data for you, so you don't have to deal with XML parsing. caBIOperl was developed by Shan Jiang, an SAIC employee working at the NCI Center for Bioinformatics. You can find caBIOperl on the caBIO section of the NCICB Download site: http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/download Support requests for caBIOperl can be sent to ncicb@pop.nci.nih.gov . General discussion about caBIO, including caBIOperl, is conducted on this mailing list: http://list.nih.gov/archives/cabio_users.html Hope you like it, and we'd love to hear any feedback you may have. Sincerely, Peter Peter A.

BOSC is a great opportunity for you to tell the community about your use, development, or philosophy of open source software development in bioinformatics. The committee will select several submitted abstracts for 25-minute talks and others for shorter "lightning" talks. Accepted abstracts will be published on the BOSC web site. If you are interested in speaking at BOSC 2004, please send us: * an abstract (no more than a few paragraphs) * a URL for the project page, if applicable * information about the open source license used for your software or your release plans. *** Abstracts for formal presentations must be recieved by 5-May-2004. *** LIGHTNING-TALK SPEAKERS WANTED! The program committee is currently seeking speakers for the lightning talks at BOSC 2004. Lightning talks are quick - only five minutes long - and a great opportunity for you to give people a quick summary of your open source project, code, idea, or vision of the future. If you are interested in giving a lightning talk at BOSC 2004, please send us: * a brief title and summary (one or two lines) * a URL for the project page, if applicable * information about the open source license used for your software or your release plans. We will accept entries on-line until BOSC starts, but space for demos and lightning talks is limited.
SOFTWARE DEMONSTRATIONS WANTED! If you are involved in the development of Open Source Bioinformatics Software, you are invited to provide a short demonstration to attendees of BOSC 2004. If you are interested in giving a software demonstration at BOSC 2004, please send us: * a brief title and summary (one or two lines) * a URL for the project page, if applicable * Internet connectivity requirements (e.g. website Application served on the world wide web, or web based client application). We will accept entries on-line until the BOSC starts, but space for demos and lightning talks is limited. ** Because the mission of the OBF is to promote Open Source software, we will favor submissions for projects that apply a recognized Open Source License, or adhere to the general Open Source Philosophy.
