BOSC 2014 Schedule
You can download the full program with abstracts (PDF); however, this wiki page is considered the definitive schedule and will be updated with any last minute changes.
The talks were videoed (thanks to a grant from Google). The video links will be posted on this page (if speakers don't opt out), along with links to slides where available.
There was lots of activity under Twitter - our hashtag was #BOSC2014 and there are Storify Tweet archives for Day One, Day Two and during ISMB.
Pre-BOSC Codefest: July 9-10, 2014
