Dear all, Many of you are aware of the many constructive roles that computers have in preclinical research. And in the post-genome area, free access to those data goes closely together with free access to tools to access those data. Debian, Ubuntu and Open Source technologies at large are hence exceptionally well accepted and much used in the field.
To further help bioinformatics development - of our distribution Debian and the scientific field with it - we have prepared for a first dedicated workshop to be held on January 28th-31st in Lübeck, Germany [1]. The meeting is funded by the recent Debian Sprint scheme [2] and got a highly supportive additional grant by the NERC Envioronmental Bioinformatics Centre [3]. Many thanks to both. We already have doubled the number of participants that we were originally aiming at, with a nice mixture of Debian folks, upstream developers and new contributors, grey hair and young graduate students. Please contact us if you would like to join in; we should still find a seat for you.
