The 6th annual Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC'2005) is organized by the not-for-profit Open Bioinformatics Foundation. The meeting will take place June 23-24, 2005 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, and is one of several Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings occurring in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology.

Because of the power of many Open Source bioinformatics packages in use by the Research Community today, it is not too presumptuous to say that the work of the Open Source Bioinformatics Community represents the cutting edge of Bioinformatics in general. This has been repeatedly demonstrated by the quality of presentations at previous BOSC conferences. This year, at BOSC 2005, we want to continue this tradition of excellence, while presenting this message to a wider part of the Research Community.

BOSC'2003 Pictures are online
Our “Bioinformatics Open Source Conference” was held in Brisbane, Australia in conjunction with the larger ISMB'2003 meeting. It was quite successful — 96 attendees, wireless internet, BOF rooms and 30+ presentations over 2 days.

BOSC finishes and I weep as I miss it already
BOSC always comes and goes so fast. I am a melancholy kind of guy so whenever things finish up I get a little misty eyed with regrets at the things I could have done and the people I could have met. But it was all so great it makes me smile with the understanding of the entire world. Plus weeping really gets you the women – makes you look quite sensitive. And I am all about sensitivity. But before I got into this mindset, I tried to write down what happened. Read and feel my joy.

They let me into Australia, and this is what I saw
If you are not lucky enough to be here in wonderfully beautiful Brisbane with beaches next to the river and where every man and woman is a perfect physical specimen, then you can read all about BOSC colored through my mind. Enjoy.
