[[media:OBF-Bylaws.pdf|Our bylaws]] lay out how the Board is elected, holds public meetings, and conducts its business, as well as the scope and role of our [[membership]]. OBF is an associated project with [http://spi-inc.org/ Software In The Public Interest, Inc.], a fiscal sponsorship organization, and through SPI we can accept tax-exempt charitable donations.\n\n'''The OBF is open to anyone who is interested in promoting open source bioinformatics / open science. Please see the [[Open_Bioinformatics_Foundation:Membership_application|Membership page]] for more information.'''\n\n== History ==\n\nOBF grew out of the volunteer projects [[BioPerl]], [[BioJava]] and [[Biopython]] and was formally incorporated in 2001 in order to handle modest requirements of hardware ownership, domain name management and funding for conferences and workshops. In 2005, we enacted [[:File:OBF-Bylaws.pdf| bylaws]] for the first time, and along with it created a formal membership. \n\nIn 2012, we decided to give up our own incorporation to associate ourselves with [http://spi-inc.org/ Software In The Public Interest, Inc.], a fiscal sponsorship organization that we felt aligned well with our own values and culture. The bylaws [https://github.com/OBF/obf-docs/pull/8 underwent a series of changes], in part to better reflect our current practices, and in part to pave the way for joining SPI. The changes [[Minutes:2012_Sep_ConfCall| were approved on Sep 11, 2012]], [http://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/e/OBFjoiningSPI our membership overwhelmingly approved of associating with SPI], and as of October 12, 2012, OBF is a SPI-associated project.\n\n== BOSC ==\nThe [[BOSC|Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC)]] has been held annually in conjunction with [http://www.iscb.org ISCB's] meeting, ISMB, for the past 20 years. [[BOSC 2017]] took place in July 2017, right before [https://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2017 ISMB 2017] in Prague, Czech Republic.\n\nFor 2018, we are trying something different and holding BOSC along with the Galaxy Community Conference in a new unified event ([https://gccbosc2018.sched.com/ GCC BOSC 2018]), which will take place in Portland, Oregon, June 25-30. \n\nWe typically run an informal [[Codefest]] collaborative meeting before each BOSC."
