Brainstorming Ideas

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. These have been incorporated into the main BOSC 2010 page.


Proceedings

The BOSC 2010 organizing committee is in discussion with an open access journal to publish a formal Proceedings for BOSC. If you are planning on submitting an abstract for BOSC 2010, are you interested in submitting a more formal paper to the BOSC proceedings, given that as the author you would need to pay the page charges that could run between US$500-1000? We are likely to move ahead with plans to have a proceedings, but it would be helpful to know how many submissions to expect.

Call for Volunteers

Organizing tutorial/hackathons and such will only be possible if individuals step forward to lead these sessions. Please let us know if you would be willing to serve in any capacity. We also need volunteers to review abstracts for the more "traditional" sessions, please let us know if you are willing to do this as well.
