Apologies for the massive cross-post;
O'Reilly has reached out to several groups including Bioinformatics.org and the Open Bioinformatics Foundation and is offering a flat 30% discount off their conference registration fee for all OBF "members". This is the conference that Ewan Birney is keynoting and where various OBF-affiliated people will be found talking, running tutorial sessions & hosting BOF gatherings. We are not endorsing this conference in any sort of formal way but knowing that some portion of our membership will be attending we wanted to spread the word regarding the discount far & wide. Lacking any sort of concrete information on who is an OBF "member" I have taken the liberty of assuming that anyone who is a subscriber on any of our discussion-oriented mailing lists meets the criteria. Hence this email. If you are planning on attending theconference you can use the code ("BIC02OPEN") to save 30% on your registration fee. Warning: some of you (students in particular) may qualify for discounts that are greater than this 30% offer - check the website to see if you can get a better deal.
