I've CC'd Brad Chapman who is the main CodeFest 2013 organiser. There are conference registration fees for BOSC and the main ISBM/ECCB conference, but *not* for this pre-BOSC CodeFest. You would have to pay your accommodation, food and travel costs. We're hoping and expecting the CodeFest attendees will also attend BOSC, but this is a not formal requirement. If that is difficult due to finances, note that for students this year there are three prizes covering the BOSC fees and money towards travel, plus if your abstract is accepted you can ask for the BOSC registration to be waived - see: http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/BOSC_2013 NOTE: The BOSC abstract submission *DEADLINE* is this Friday! Having lots of Bio* people together should be good fun :) Peter _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@lists.open-bio.org http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
