Hi Joe,

The Bioinformatics group has been put on hold because of low attendance, and Jon being out of town.

If anyone wants to step up, and commit to running the bioinformatics group every week, please step up!

Ill be back for the bioinformatics mtgs at the 30th but I would like us to be in active discussions by email on what we can do to improve the quality and experience. We essentially need to be a community and really just throw in ideas regardless how silly they may initially seem. Feel free to even post upcoming events or ask about having relevant bioinformatics study groups at BioC in this mailing list.

It's too overwhelming for just one ot even two folks to do the vast majority of the work to get this going. I have proposed that we just stick with some of the work Johan initiated as that is well defined and has a very specific goal. We basically just need to get one project done first to get the ball rolling.

If we can all share where we are at, what we are specifically curious about and even what knowledge gaps we are having then we can all gather whatever resource we need to acquire the skill (whether it be workshops, guest speakers hackathons or intensives).  I'm thinking about starting another survey so that we can together prepare a schedule of things to do for the upcoming meetups.
