[Open-bio-l] Code fest 2010: thinking to '11

[Richard Holland]

The combined purpose trip was definitely a big part of the decision to attend. I could only do Italy if it was really cheap to get there from Vienna, otherwise couldn't justify the extra cost. Unless there was something else going on in Italy to go to as well at the same time?

Should be possible to organise something in Vienna itself I would have thought? There's bound to be an institute there somewhere who could offer to help by providing a room for us to work in?
