 MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR SPEAKERS

 The 6th annual Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC'2005) is organi=
zed by the
 not-for-profit Open Bioinformatics Foundation. The meeting will take place
 June 23-24, 2005 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, and is one of several Special =
Interest
 Group (SIG) meetings occurring in conjunction with the 13th International =
Conference
 on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology.

 see http://www.iscb.org/ismb2005 for more information.

 Because of the power of many Open Source bioinformatics packages in
 use by the Research Community today, it is not too presumptuous to say=20
 that the work of the Open Source Bioinformatics Community represents=20
 the cutting edge of Bioinformatics in general. This has been repeatedly=20
 demonstrated by the quality of presentations at previous BOSC conferences.
 This year, at BOSC 2006, we want to continue this tradition of excellence,=
=20
 while presenting this message to a wider part of the Research Community. =
=20
 Please, pass this message on to anyone you know that is interested in
 Bioinformatics software.=20
