It was a success and, as a follow-up, we will be present again next January too ! Last year talks were very diverse as we are quite inclusive. Python talks are welcome :) Don?t hesitate to submit a talk. All relevant information is here : https://fosdem-bioinformatics.github.io/cfp_2027.html Don?t hesitate to PM me for more information.
