I've just signed up for this list, and thought I should introduce myself. My name's Christopher Pickslay, and I'm a web application developer who's trying to move from educational software development to bioinformatics. I don't have a biology degree, but I've been doing independent study in molecular biology and genetics, and am starting the Bioinformatics Certificate program this semester at UC Santa Cruz Extension. I haven't actively participated in any open source development as yet, but I have defined frameworks in object-oriented Perl and Java in my last 2 jobs, and I worked on the Schools Interoperability Framework, a specification for XML data interchange between education-related applications. I'm interested in contributing to the further development and extension of the biojava framework and/or implementations. If there are particular areas of development that are in need of work, or anyone could use help on something they're working on, drop me a line at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I'll see what I can do.
