[Biopython] Fwd: [BOSC] Submit your abstract to BOSC 2023 by April 20! 🍐

Hello all,

Some of you might like to consider submitting an abstract to present your
own work at the ISBM/ECCB 2023 conference, and if is open source
specifically at BOSC (the OBF's annual conference) - see below. There will
also be an informal hackathon type event before BOSC 2023, our CoFest
(Collaboration Festival). Like the meeting, that's planned to be a hybrid
event with some people there in person and others online. More details
expected to be announced in the next few days:

https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2023/obf-bosc-collaborationfest-2023/

Secondly, would any of our contributors like to present a (short) Biopython
update talk? I personally do not intend to travel to Lyon, France for BOSC
2023, and while remote presenters might possible in person is much
preferred. Is another regular contributor keen to present?

See F1000 for our most recent Biopython update talks at BOSC:

https://f1000research.com/collections/bosc?n0=text&v0=biopython&o0=&selectedDomain=slides

The slides have generally been done in PowerPoint, but the abstracts are
under version control here:

https://github.com/biopython/talks

We've not done this every year, so there's actually more than usual that
could be covered this time.

Thanks,

Peter
(Here speaking as both a Biopython contributor and OBF board member)

Abstract submission

We encourage you to submit abstracts
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2023/submit/> (due April 20 – sorry,
no extensions) on any topic relevant to open source bioinformatics or open
science (see topic list below). After review, some abstracts will be
selected for lightning talks, longer talks, or posters. A second “late
poster” round of submissions will end May 18.

Abstract submission is via ISMB’s EasyChair (linked from our submission page
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2023/submit/>). Note that ISMB
requires a short (200-word) text-only abstract for all submissions (talk or
poster), plus a “long abstract” (PDF, 2 pages max) if you want to be
considered for a talk.

About BOSC

Since 2000, the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2021/about/> has provided a forum for
developers and users to interact and share research results and ideas in
open source bioinformatics and open science.

As usual, BOSC 2023 <https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2023/> will
include keynote talks, longer and shorter (lightning) talks from submitted
abstracts, posters, Birds of a Feather, and more! Like last year, BOSC and
Bio-Ontologies
<https://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/ismb-annual-meeting/2023-meeting> will
join forces for a joint session.

BOSC topics include (but are not limited to):

   -

   Open Science and Reproducible Research
   -

   Open Biomedical Data
   -

   Citizen/Participatory Science
   -

   Standards and Interoperability
   -

   Data Science
   -

   Workflows
   -

   Open Approaches to Translational Bioinformatics
   -

   Open Science for Global Health
   -

   Developer Tools and Libraries
   -

   Inclusion, Outreach and Training
   -

   Bioinformatics Open Source Project Reports (about new or existing
   projects)
   -

   Open and interoperable ontologies (joint session with Bio-Ontologies)


Registration fee assistance

We realize that the cost of ISMB may be prohibitive for some. If you are
submitting an abstract to BOSC and would have difficulty covering the cost
of registration, you can request to be considered for a registration fee
waiver right on the abstract submission form (your request will not be seen
by reviewers). Fee waivers are made possible by our sponsors
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/sponsors/>.

Sponsors

We welcome the first Silver sponsors
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/sponsors/> of BOSC 2023! If you’re
interested in becoming a sponsor, let us know!
