GMOD (http://gmod.org) is a collection of interoperable, open-source software components for managing, visualizing, annotating, and sharing biological data. GMOD is also a community of users and developers addressing common challenges with their biological data. The popularity of next generation sequencing and other high-throughput methods has made this GMOD meeting particularly timely. GMOD meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn best practices from other researchers, to meet GMOD users and developers, and to learn and affect what is coming in the project. As with previous meetings, there will be a mixture of project talks, component-focused talks, and user talks. Registration for the meeting is now open and space is available on a first come, first served basis. Attendance is limited to the first 55 people to register. The meeting cost is ?50. See http://gmod.org/wiki/August_2009_GMOD_Meeting for more information. Please join us in Oxford this August.
