Digest of Events at DIYbio

[Steven Stowell]

As penance for attempting to SPAM (horrors!) this beloved mail group with my own group's events, I have agreed to regularly post a dead-simple Summary of Events digest, as a contributor to DIYbio.org. 

I'm actually very excited about it.  Here is the link

http://diybio.org/category/events/

This is a digest, designed for convenience, and does not attempt to cover every event within the community.   However,  these are not curated, and there is a set of guidelines to try to be objective on what is posted.  Here are the guidelines

http://diybio.org/local/guideline-for-sharing-diybio-related-events/

This is an imperfect start, but with your help,  I hope it becomes a real go-to resource, We are constantly on the hunt, but feel free to give us feedback or tell us about a DIYbio event by emailing: eve...@DIYbio.org.

Finally, I want to make the point that this is an international digest. An event submissions in any language, and from any community or culture is welcome.

Thank you all!

Not sure what you mean, seems you haven't posted on this mailing list
since June 2013.

Nice! So you're doing this manually, or do you have some
software/automation (using natural language processing on the list
mails?)?

By "attempting", I politely asked offline before posting, was softly persuaded not to do it. I then asked where to post, and was offered this opportunity.  Yeah, I lurk and haven't posted very often, but there's only so much penance I can do.

Pretty manual so far.  I am primarily relying on Meet-up as a tool, looking at the usual suspect's website postings, and just trying watch various lists. I have also queried some groups.   It is a good idea to do some automation on general lists.  I shamelessly ask what other general lists (like DIYbio, or its derivatives) are there that need to be watched?

Here is some data I have:
http://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/groups/

I also have more detailed records but I have to manually run queries over the data... for example, "the set of people in Europe who have expressed an interest in cheap Taq polymerase, who have also posted to diybio-related channels".
