Calling Geeks to the OSDD Hackathon Dear Colleagues @ OSDD
Following the success of the OSDD "Connect to Decode" programme for Genome Annotation and constant mails from people around the world to have a programme for students of Engineering background, we are organising the OSDD Hackathon 2010. Hope you would have had a chance to go through the recently launched Google Wave platform. This platform federation protocol is available in Open Source and thus enables its widespread adoption in collaborative research. We understand the uniqueness of this idea and feel that community adoption of the platform for serious research is possible only if there are sufficient tools for researchers. To this end, we are calling all volunteers to this competition to create one of the largest corpus tool-sets for Biological research and collaboration using the wave platform. We have put up a website to this end, and you should be at this moment be able to access it at URL: http://hackathon.osdd.net I would be grateful if you could pass on this information to your colleagues and friends. We have already despatched posters to a number of institutes and Colleges and you should be able to find them in your mailboxes in a weeks' time. You can find a PDF version of the poster at the website If you have queries, even after going through the entire website, please feel free to contact me. I would be grateful if you could mark "hackathon" in the subject-line so I can find and respond fast.
