At O'Reilly we're working out how to do it as part of the
bioinformatics conference.  Our goal is to make it as cheap as we can
for bio* hackers to attend can, with the proviso that we can't pay
your hotel or travel.  If you can get to the conference (and as I said
before, there will be ways to do that with minimal expense) then
you'll be able to get to the hackathon.

While I have your attention--we have choices for dates for next year's
Open Source convention.  Are there dates yet for ISMB in 2002?  We
don't want to clash with that again!

Thanks,

Nat
