BOSC/PrepareForToronto
From Open Bioinformatics Foundation
This is where we will discuss BOSC 2008 in Toronto.
To Do
- Choose and Invite Keynote speaker(s)
- Calculate budget to see if we can cover costs for invited speakers.
- Possibly have money set aside to pay for either developers to attend who cannot otherwise, or to sponsor students' costs.
- Lightning talks
Thoughts from 2007
- Second day seemed to fall a bit flat. Are we trying to do too much having a 2-day SIG. Maybe a 1-day and then a second day focused on coding and developer coordination.
- Is the lightning talk format working?
- Mini-hackathon before or after SIG/Conference?
- How to bring the energy level up so this isn't just a sit and listen conference?
