Hi All, This is an announcement for:
O'Reilly's 2003 Bioinformatics Technology Conference, taking place February 3 - 6, 2003, in San Diego, California More information at: http://www.oreillynet.com/biocon2002/ NOTE to the Open Bio Foundation: Furthermore, O'Reilly is extending a 20% registration discount to OBFers. To take advantage of the discount, visit the conference web site, and register using the OBF discount code "bio03open". The discount means more if you register by December 16, which is the end of the early-bird registration period. It's an unusual but compelling mix of information technology, bit twiddlers, academic researchers, industry types, headhunters, and standards setters (and wannabes), brought together in in one 3 ring circus by the O'Reilly organization, the people who document Open (and some closed) Source IT with their retro-animal covered screeds on Perl, Python, apache, etc. This year, the keynotes include emissions from the minds of: - Lincoln Stein - too-young godfather of Perl Bioinfo, CGI.pm, DAS, Moby, etc - Stephen Wolfram - ex-boy genius of Mathematica, author of 'A New Kind of Science' - Suzi Lewis - Godmother of the Gene Ontology project - Alvis Brazma - Lead cheerleader for the MGED, MIAME gene expression standards. - James Gosling - programming god/demon (Java, NeWS, EMACS), Sun Fellow, Canadian - Damian Conway - nonpareil Perl Edutainment speaker, Author, Australian, singer - James Kent - late-blooming/exploding bioinformatics genome gnome from UCSC. - Francis Ouellette - longtime NCBI vet, now escaped to UBC Bioinformatics Ctr - and others For a sense of what last year's conference was like, check out its coverage page: http://www.oreillynet.com/biocon2002/ Disclaimer: I don't work for O'Reilly, but I did attend the 2002 conference, liked most things, didn't like some things, then got hit up by the organizers, to assure more-of-the-former/less-of-the-latter and so have been volunteering some time to help them do an even better job this year. Apologies to those who have seen this in other related lists. -- Cheers, Harry Harry J Mangalam - 949 856 2847 (v&f) - [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<plain text preferred>> _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
