Hilmar welcomed B and Y and asked them to introduce themselves.<br />
<br />
* Term expirations and Elections for the Board (electronic ballot)<br />
* Introduction - Bastian Greshake Tzovaras, running for Board member at-large<br />
** Many many different open-source/science projects (OpenSNP is only one)<br />
** Mozilla!<br />
** Would like to get the OBF name out there, be more <br />
<br />
* Introduction - Yo Yehudi, running for Board member at-large<br />
** Intermine<br />
** Open Science - increase open source in open science<br />
** Also involved with Mozilla<br />
** SSI fellow this year<br />
** Outreachy - not just GSoC but WiS, increasing diversity<br />
* We have quorum for voting<br />
** 6/6 votes for Bastian and 6/6 votes for Yo! Congrats to both! <br />
** Action on Hilmar to add them to the Board mailing list etc.<br />
* Fiscal sponsor - experiences, lessons, possibilities<br />
** Our fiscal sponsor is SPI (https://spi-inc.org).<br />
*** Dissolved our own incorporation and became an SPI associated project in 2012 (https://news.open-bio.org/2012/10/12/obf-now-spi-associated/).<br />
*** Having a fiscal sponsor allows us to receive tax-exempt donations (501(c)3 in the US), without having to spend the effort of obtaining and maintaining our own 501(c)3 non-profit status.<br />
*** One of the reasons we chose SPI over others was the good cultural fit (SPI is relatively hands-off) and tie-in with Debian-based bioinformatics community efforts (DebianMed). <br />
** Encountered a number of pain points over the years<br />
*** Financial reporting is behind and slow<br />
*** Travel fellowships generally come from BOSC account - pretty quick<br />
*** Other reimbursements from SPI generally take longer<br />
*** Lack of financial reporting sometimes for extended periods of time, which makes it difficult to verify receipt of sponsorship commitments, for example.<br />
*** Transferring some of our domain name assets to SPI did not go smoothly, many delays. Sysadmin side of SPI is too slow and unresponsive to be considered functional.<br />
*** AWS billing on someone’s personal credit card (and reimbursing later) is a high risk for the individual.<br />
** There are more alternatives now than there were back in 2012. This might be a good time to consider their pros and cons.<br />
*** OpenCollective https://opencollective.com/<br />
**** [https://opencollective.com/apply Application form]<br />
**** Yo came across OpenCollective for a project of her own. Very attractive, but need >100 stars. Several OBF Bio* projects would fit this.<br />
*** NumFOCUS, Community Initiatives http://communityin.org/<br />
**** The joint Carpentries just moved from NumFOCUS to Community Initiatives. See blog post: https://software-carpentry.org/blog/2018/01/fiscal-sponsor-transition.html<br />
**** We probably don’t fit the annual budget and revenue size that CI is looking for in their fiscally sponsored projects.<br />
**** NumFOCUS fiscally sponsors many projects that tie into our community and mission. Much of what motivated the Carpentries to move probably doesn’t apply to OBF.<br />
** SPI community includes associated projects that are similar to us, and hence should still be a good fit. The challenges seem to be precipitated by SPI not having paid staff, hence little to no accountability for meeting service level standards.<br />
<br />
* Any other business?<br />
** H3ABionet interaction - promotion of open science and open source across Africa<br />
<br />

== Joining the Board ==<br />
<br />
According to the bylaws, "''Nominations for the Board of Directors may be made by the general membership at any time throughout the year by email to any Board Member.''" (see Art. IV.1) The Board tries on an ongoing basis to create opportunities for members of the community to serve, while also ensuring stability of the Board. Opportunities for filling a seat, either through expansion of the Board, or by replacing a Board member whose term expires, arise in most years, and the Board is always interested to hear from volunteers from the community interested in serving. <br />

== Joining the Board ==<br />
<br />
According to the bylaws, "''Nominations for the Board of Directors may be made by the general membership at any time throughout the year by email to any Board Member.''" (see Art. IV.1) The Board tries on an ongoing basis to create opportunities for members of the community to serve, while also ensuring stability of the Board. Opportunities for filling a seat, either through expansion of the Board, or by replacing a Board member whose term expires, arise in most years, and the Board is always interested to hear from volunteers from the community interested in serving. <br />
<br />
Please see general [[Board/Expectations|expectations for Board members]].<br />
<br />

The '''B'''ioinformatics '''O'''pen '''S'''ource '''C'''onference has been held annually as a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the [http://www.iscb.org/ ISCB's annual ISMB conference]. BOSC promotes and facilitates the [[wp:open source|open source]] development of [[wp:bioinformatics|bioinformatics]] tools and open science. The aims of the conferences are to: <br />
# Provide developers with a forum for displaying the results of their development efforts to the wider research community; <br />
# Provide a focused environment for developers and users to interact and share ideas about software development, open science, and practical techniques in bioinformatics; <br />
# Promote Open Science, with its focus on sharing data and tools, transparency, reproducibility, and data provenance;<br />
# Inform the research community of important developments occurring within the Open Source Bioinformatics Developer community.<br />

== Getting involved ==<br />
<br />
BOSC is the result of many people's efforts and energy, from attendees all the way up to the chairs. There are many ways to get involved with the conference: <br />
<br />
=== Attend ===<br />
<br />
Attend the main meeting and/or Codefest, meet people, and tweet about your experience.<br />
<br />
There's no conference without attendees! Your presence in the community is crucial to the success of the event, and we're always happy to see new faces.<br />
<br />
=== Present your work ===<br />
<br />
Submit an abstract and present your work.<br />
<br />
Our focus is on open source work and communities. We require your code to be open and properly licensed, or else your abstract will be passed over. If your work is more about training materials than code, we'd like your materials to be open and licensed so others can benefit from it! <br />
<br />
In the early days of BOSC, an abstract that was basically "I wrote some bioinformatics code, and it's open source" was good enough to merit at least a short talk, but we've grown since then. Even if a project is new and therefore doesn't yet have a community, there should be some sort of plan for building a community of users and/or developers.<br />
<br />
Even with the hard requirement of openness, we do try to provide a platform to everyone who wants to present. We have long talks, short (or "lightning") talks, posters, and demos, and we really do want to hear from everyone. <br />
<br />
=== Organise a BoF===<br />
<br />
"Birds of a Feather" groups are self-organised meetings during BOSC where anyone who wants to have a conversation with the community can gather and share. Usually BoFs are submitted through the conference website, and the list of topics will be available to all attendees. These tend to happen over lunch or dinner, or in the evenings, and can be a great way to meet people in smaller more accessible groups. Past BoFs have included project introductions, sponsor demos, discussions on diversity and inclusion, and even one for people on twitter!<br />
<br />
=== Review abstracts ===<br />
<br />
Conference abstracts are reviewed by volunteers who express their interest. We encourage reviewers to be constructive in their comments, and many sign their reviews. Most reviewers will be assigned 3-4 abstracts per call, and there are two calls per conference (the main one, and a "late breaking lightning talk" round). We acknowledge our reviewers on the conference website and in the program. If you'd like to be a reviewer, contact the organising committee at bosc@open-bio.org. <br />
<br />
=== Join the organizing committee ===<br />
<br />
The organising committee does the heavy lifting for making sure BOSC happens every year. Committee members help wrangle reviewers, assist in drafting and sending communication to reviewers, participants, and attendees, design programs and posters, find dinner locations, chair sessions during the conference, and more! The workload gets heavy in two waves: first when abstracts are coming in and being reviewed, and then again as the conference gets closer and the practical details become important. You'll also be expected to answer questions during the conference, both in person and online as questions come in to the mailing list, and there's usually a postmortem after the conference where we talk about what went well and what we'll improve for the next year. <br />
<br />
We acknowledge committee members on the conference website and in the program, and they are entitled to complimentary conference registration if their institution/employer doesn't already support them. In addition to this, chairs and co-chairs can have their travel and expenses supported by OBF if they aren't covered by their institution/employer. Travel support for other committee members may be available, but is up to the discretion of the co-chairs and OBF board and may be subject to available funds. <br />
<br />
If you'd like to join the BOSC organising committee, contact us at bosc@open-bio.org.<br />
<br />
== Sponsors ==<br />
<br />
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation welcomes donations to help support our work and the BOSC meeting, including offering [https://github.com/OBF/obf-docs/blob/master/Travel_fellowships.md Travel Fellowships] and registration fee waivers.<br />
<br />
* In 2018 we held BOSC co-located with the Galaxy Community Conference, see the combined [https://gccbosc2018.sched.com/directory/sponsors GCCBOSC 2018 sponsors] and [https://galaxyproject.org/events/gccbosc2018/sponsors/ GCCBOSC 2018 sponsorship tier details] pages.<br />
<br />
* In 2017 we requested '''USD $1000 for sponsoring BOSC''', and would include your name and logo on the conference webpage, selected publicity material including blog posts and tweets, and during the conference itself during the opening and/or closing slides. Sponsors are welcome to submit work to be presented at BOSC as a talk or poster, but this will be reviewed impartially like any other submission.<br />
<br />
* Likewise in 2017, we requested '''USD $1500 for sponsoring BOSC ''and'' the Codefest''', or '''USD $500 for sponsoring ''only'' the pre-BOSC Codefest''', with similar publicity arrangements. Here some of the donation directly funded lunch and refreshment for the Codefest participants. Sponsor's developer/technical staff are welcome to attend the Codefest.<br />
<br />
We are open to discussing specific requests, such as distributing stickers or leaflets, or earmarking the sponsorship to a specific activity.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Membership application ==<br />
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation invites professionals, scientists, students, and others active in the Open Source Software arena in the life sciences to [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aybVPb8F0pG6TNdUH0_BxMhOmfkQ-ARB4iun16mv6Ow/viewform join the OBF] as a member. The membership body was formally established at the [[Minutes:2005_BOSC_Meeting|2005 Board of Directors]] meeting. As laid out in the [[:File:OBF-Bylaws.pdf|OBF Bylaws]], officers in the Board of Directors will be elected by the membership among nominees, and candidates for future Directors will be nominated from the membership when seats are added or a term expires.<br />
<br />
The eligibility criteria are met by anyone who is &quot;interested in and aligns with the objectives of the OBF&quot;. There are no dues at present. You can join throughout the year by filling out the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aybVPb8F0pG6TNdUH0_BxMhOmfkQ-ARB4iun16mv6Ow/viewform application form]. The best time and place to join is at the annual BOSC conference, because attendees are automatically deemed eligible based on the fact that they attended BOSC, but you can [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aybVPb8F0pG6TNdUH0_BxMhOmfkQ-ARB4iun16mv6Ow/viewform apply for membership] at any time.<br />
<br />
=== Participate in OBF's Future ===<br />
The Board established the membership body as the platform from which major future changes to the OBF's mission, agenda, and scope will originate, through active participation, discussion, and possibly most importantly, through providing the future leadership of the OBF. If you have ideas and the energy to advocate them then we encourage you to join as a member, and perhaps to nominate yourself for future elections to the Board. The bylaws define terms for Directors as well as Officers; seats will come up for election every year.<br />

== Joining the Board ==<br />
<br />
According to the bylaws, "''Nominations for the Board of Directors may be made by the general membership at any time throughout the year by email to any Board Member.''" (see Art. IV.1) The Board tries on an ongoing basis to create opportunities for members of the community to serve, while also ensuring stability of the Board. Opportunities for filling a seat, either through expansion of the Board, or by replacing a Board member whose term expires, arise in most years, and the Board is always interested to hear from volunteers from the community interested in serving. <br />
<br />
Please see general [[Board/Expectations|expectations for Board members]].<br />

<br />
[[Image:DawnFieldy.jpg|240px|right|Dawn Field]]<br />
<br />
=== Dawn Field ===<br />
<br />
Dawn Field is a Lamberg International Guest Professor at Göteborg University’s Department of Marine Sciences. Previously she was a senior research fellow at the NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Head of the Molecular Evolution and Bioinformatics Group at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingford, UK, and a research associate at the Smithsonian Institution. She is also a founder of the Genomic Standards Consortium, the Genomic Observatories Network and Ocean Sampling Day.<br />
<br />
Dr. Field is credited with introducing the concept of a biological code, or “biocode"--the sum of all DNA on earth. In their book [https://global.oup.com/academic/product/biocode-9780199687756 Biocode: The New Age of Genomics], she and coauthor Neil Davies describe the rapid rise of genomics, how it is revealing the scale and diversity of life on Earth, and future possibilities and implications. <br />
<br />
Dr. Field's advocacy for open data and interoperability is epitomized by her past leadership of the Genomics Standards Consortium ([http://gensc.org/about-gsc/ GSC]), which aims to facilitate genomic data integration, discovery and comparison through international community-driven standards.<br />

[[Image:NickLoman.jpg|210px|left|Nick Loman]]<br />
=== Nick Loman ===<br />
<br />
[http://lab.loman.net/about/ Nick Loman] is known as a vocal proponent of open genomic data in healthcare. An Independent Research Fellow in the Institute for Microbiology and Infection at the University of Birmingham, Dr. Loman explores the use of cutting-edge genomics and metagenomics approaches to human pathogens. He promotes the use of open data to facilitate the surveillance and treatment of infectious disease.<br />
<br />
Dr. Loman helped establish real-time genomic surveillance of Ebola in Guinea and Zika in Brazil (via the [http://www.zibraproject.org/ ZiBRA project], which states that "Data will be subject to open release as it is generated"). In another recent project, real-time genomic data was used to analyze a small outbreak of Salmonella enteritidis in the UK. Through this sharing of genomic datasets, researchers were able to confirm that the cases were linked to a larger, national-scale outbreak. Dr. Loman is one of the authors of [https://poretools.readthedocs.io/ Poretools], and he regularly shares cutting-edge Nanopore data and protocols for using it. In collaboration with Lex Nederbragt, Dr. Loman is developing an open-source repository of sequencing and bioinformatics benchmarking datasets called [http://lab.loman.net/high-throughput%20sequencing/e.%20coli%20o104%20h4/genomics/2012/10/09/seqbench-a-useful-meta-resource-of-e-coli-sequence-reads/ Seqbench].<br />

== Joining the Board ==<br />
<br />
According to the bylaws, "''Nominations for the Board of Directors may be made by the general membership at any time throughout the year by email to any Board Member.''" (see Art. IV.1) The Board tries on an ongoing basis to create opportunities for members of the community to serve, while also ensuring stability of the Board. Opportunities for filling a seat, either through expansion of the Board, or by replacing a Board member whose term expires, arise in most years, and the Board is always interested to hear from volunteers from the community interested in serving. <br />
<br />
Please see general [[Board/Expectations|expectations for Board members]].<br />

<div>Board members are expected to actively contribute to steering the OBF to help it accomplish its stated missions and objectives. This includes:<br />
* Participate in the (informal) regular meetings of Board members. Meetings are currently about 1 hour, once a month, held by Google Hangout. These meetings are for communicating and discussing current OBF operations and issues, as well as brainstorming strategic directions and initiatives. <br />
* Participate in public Board meetings, including voting in elections and on matters brought before the OBF Board for approval. Public Board meetings take place 1-2 times a year via conference call, are about 1 hour in duration, and are usually scheduled in place of a Board hangout.<br />
* Help promote the causes and objectives of the OBF, as set and approved by the Board, such as lobbying funders, employers, and other decision makers in your network about these objectives and ways to achieve them, as well as promoting the causes of the OBF at community gatherings you attend.<br />
* Contribute to identifying strategies, opportunities, and mechanisms to better sustain the OBF, to grow its member communities, and to increase its overall diversity, including demographic diversity.</div>Lapphttps://www.open-bio.org/w/index.php?title=Board&diff=4606Board2016-09-14T16:56:28Z<p>Lapp: /* Board of Directors Meetings */</p>

'''Minutes:'''<br />
<br />
UTC/GMT 17:05- Hilmar called the meeting to order.<br />
<br />
# Old business<br />
#* Unanimous approval of [[Minutes:2014_Nov_ConfCall|minutes from Public Board meeting of Nov 2014]].<br />
#* Future public meeting will have to present the financial report 2014 (with amendment to 2013 report for late BOSC reimbursement).<br />
# Elections for the board.<br />
#* One candidate, Karen Cranston.<br />
#* Statement: Karen is Training Coordinator and Informatics Project Manager at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). Mentor and administrator for NESCent GSoC. She is an evolutionary biologist interested in phylogenetic methods and is the lead PI of Open Tree of Life, an NSF-funded project to synthesize published evolutionary trees. She’s helped organize many events for open source and data interoperability in biology, including Phyloinformatics Summer of Code, iEvoBio, hackathons, and Data / Software Carpentry workshops. Many parallels with what the OBF is interested in, and particularly interested in our recent diversity discussion.<br />
#* Karen confirms monthly meetings at this time (generally the second Tuesday of the month at 1pm ET) will not be a problem for her schedule.<br />
#* Hilmar moves for the board to cast their ballots (for electing Karen Cranston as a new OBF board member) online via heliosvoting.org; 6 votes for, 0 against, 0 abstentions. https://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/elections/04a3511e-f8af-11e4-828f-769695b8596f/view<br />
#* ACTION: Peter to update the blog post for this meeting. [Done]<br />
#* The board unanimously thanks the two departing members for their service to the board and wider community since the founding of the OBF, and before.<br />
# BOSC<br />
#* Good set of abstract received, acceptances sent out (only one has declined so far).<br />
#* Will be calling for "late breaking" lightning talks and posters in June (with people who were only offered a poster invited to improve their abstract and be considered for a possible late-breaking lightning talk).<br />
#* We are still polishing the schedule, currently reserving 30 minutes for 6 late breaking lightning talks.<br />
#* It is not unusual to have Lightning talks without questions, so we will likely not have questions after them given the tight schedule.<br />
#* Student authors, panellists, keynote speakers, committee members have been offered fee waivers. Thus far we are only planning to pay for travel for our keynote speakers.<br />
#* Looking to record talks via the ISCB this year (to be made open, speakers able to opt out).<br />
#* ACTION: Plan putting COSI membership to the OBF membership, including commitments and consequences (e.g. what happens if we leave with escrow etc).<br />
#* We will be able to access the ISCB membership roll for those who have ticked the OBF as a COSI they are interested in, and check if they want to formally join the OBF.<br />
# Membership<br />
#* Agreement that current "paper" system is no longer suitable. Current by-laws mean we want verified email addresses, and do not disclose them. This excludes a public wiki or document on GitHub (like https://github.com/pjotrp/bioinformatics for example), Google Forms (cannot check email address), but perhaps a GitHub team might work (this would require OBF members create a GitHub account, but does not force them to disclose their email address).<br />
# System Administration:<br />
#* Wiki needs updating for Google OpenID<br />

<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is run as a two-day meeting before the annual [http://www.iscb.org/ismb2016 ISMB conference]. It is organized by the [[Main_Page|Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF)]], a non-profit group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of Open Source software development and Open Science within the biological research community. <br />
<br />
Open Source software has flourished in the bioinformatics community for well over a decade. When the first BOSC was held in 2000, there were already many popular open source bioinformatics packages, and the number and range of these projects has increased dramatically since then. BOSC covers the wide range of open source bioinformatics software being developed, and encompasses the growing movement of Open Science, with its focus on transparency, reproducibility, and data provenance. We welcome submissions relating to all aspects of bioinformatics and open science software, including new computational methods, reusable software components, visualization, interoperability, and other approaches that help to advance research in the biomolecular sciences. Two full days of talks, posters, panel discussions (see the [[BOSC 2016 Schedule]]), and informal discussion groups (see [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKSzP4_6_ezVw1g4Igy8ZRdFDBJ268uMy_5LKA98Mc0/edit# BOSC 2016 Birds-of-a-Feather notes]) will enable BOSC attendees to interact with other developers and share ideas and code, as well as learning about some of the latest developments in the field of open source bioinformatics.<br />
<br />
We also organize a two-day community development session prior to the conference ([[Codefest 2016]]). This is an opportunity for anyone interested in open science, biology and programming to meet, discuss and work collaboratively. Everyone is welcome to attend Codefest (whether or not you attend BOSC).<br />

We plan to offer a limited number of [https://news.obf.io/2016/03/01/obf-travel-fellowship-program/ travel fellowships] to help offset expenses for some accepted speakers who would not otherwise be able to attend BOSC. <br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is run as a two-day meeting before the annual [http://www.iscb.org/ismb2016 ISMB conference]. It is sponsored by the [[Main_Page|Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF)]], a non-profit group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of Open Source software development and Open Science within the biological research community. <br />
<br />
Open Source software has flourished in the bioinformatics community for well over a decade. When the first BOSC was held in 2000, there were already many popular open source bioinformatics packages, and the number and range of these projects has increased dramatically since then. BOSC covers the wide range of open source bioinformatics software being developed, and encompasses the growing movement of Open Science, with its focus on transparency, reproducibility, and data provenance. We welcome submissions relating to all aspects of bioinformatics and open science software, including new computational methods, reusable software components, visualization, interoperability, and other approaches that help to advance research in the biomolecular sciences. Two full days of talks, posters, panel discussions (see [[BOSC 2015 Schedule|schedule from BOSC 2015]]), and informal discussion groups (see [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yaSjWEZzwiAk6jUiKVk_pbmru1uCJuGbgITIyI3kmfI/edit# BOSC 2015 Birds-of-a-Feather notes]) will enable BOSC attendees to interact with other developers and share ideas and code, as well as learning about some of the latest developments in the field of open source bioinformatics.<br />
<br />
We also organize a two-day community development session prior to the conference ([[Codefest 2016]]). This is an opportunity for anyone interested in open science, biology and programming to meet, discuss and work collaboratively. Everyone is welcome to attend Codefest (whether or not you attend BOSC).<br />

* '''Standards and Interoperability''' -- includes standards such as ontologies, formats, etc, as well as Open Source approaches to integrating the latest bioinformatics tools, exploring how we can increase tool connectivity and help communities work better together.<br />
* '''Data Science''' -- encompasses software and approaches to managing, exploring, and analyzing large-scale data to address research questions, such as genome assembly, variant prediction, eQTL analysis, phylogenomics, and epigenetics.<br />
* '''Visualization''' -- focuses on approaches for interactive as well as static visual representations of biomedical data, ranging from exploration to explanation.<br />
* '''Translational Bioinformatics''' -- explores applications of biological and medical informatics to the development of personalized healthcare, therapies, and a better understanding of human health and disease. Topics include the analysis of large scale population and family sequencing data, bioinformatics methodologies for clinical research, and tools for discovering clinically useful associations in human databases.<br />
* '''Bioinformatics Open Source Libraries and Projects''' -- features short talks from new or ongoing projects describing their recent progress. Abstracts will be solicited from open source projects affiliated with the OBF (see http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Projects), including the Bio* projects, DAS, BioMOBY, EMBOSS, and GMOD, but any other open-source project will be equally eligible to submit abstracts for this session.<br />
