Guest Speaker Nominations

We are seeking nominations for a guest speaker at this meeting. A good guest speaker for a GMOD meeting is someone who

  • Works in bioinformatics, but not directly on the GMOD project.
  • Works in an area of interest to the GMOD community.
  • Is already nearby. For this meeting this could also include someone who is coming to Cambridge/Hinxton for the Genome Informatics conference.
  • Is willing to speak for complimentary lunches and admission to this meeting. (These last two requirements exist because we don't have funds to pay travel expenses.)

If you have anyone in mind, or would like to nominate yourself, please contact the GMOD Help Desk with your suggestion.

Proposed Agenda Topics



  • JBrowse hackathon on Apr 6th (afternoon)?
  • What to do about dormant / dead GMOD components


Lightning Talks

10-15 minutes on GMOD-related topics.


If you have any suggestions for topics or activities for the 2013 GMOD meeting, please add them here or email them to the GMOD helpdesk.
