Fwd: Fwd: Invitation to the "Do-It-Together" Digital Biology Seminary

[Trojok]

Dear friend,

Bioflux <http://www.bioflux.eu> is inviting you to participate in the
"Do-It-Together" Digital Biology Seminary, held on 13th-15th January 2016,
in Berlin, Germany.

The "Do-It-Together" Digital Biology Seminary will focus on defining the
vision and the operational framework of the open-source community around
digital biology. The seminary will improve our collaboration by allowing
anyone to contribute and for this contribution to be accounted, to enable
both profit and not-for-profit endeavours that might arise.

During the 3 days of the seminary, you get the chance to participate in:

- academic talks addressing the fundamental aspects of digital bio
- live demonstrations of the latest developments in digital biology
- networking with the open-source developers of digital bio from all over
the world
- intense fun hacking of the latest technology
- round table and panel discussions on sharing and collaboration

Please confirm the participation to the "Do-It-Together" Seminary by
registering here
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/digital-biology-do-it-together-tickets-18955727090>.
For the ones in need, Rüdiger Trojok & Synenergene are offering 7 x 400 EUR
travel grants (apply here
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/digital-biology-do-it-together-tickets-18955727090>).
We have built http://digibio.bio-commons.org/ where we discuss prior to
the event (for any help in using it please email to eug...@ouishare.net ).
We are welcoming contributions (e.g., demonstrations, talks, donations)
from anyone on the following points:

- sharing our state of the art developments on the devices, protocols and
software
- ideas on how to share a common infrastructure (governance rules,
contribution accounting mechanisms, legal entity for both profit and
not-for-profit endeavours etc.) to manage and co-develop future projects

The event is organized by the Bioflux team <http://www.bioflux.eu/team.html>
(Ruediger, Miri, Urs and Eugenio), hosted by Freies Museum
<http://www.freies-museum.com/> and supported by the Synenergene Project
<http://www.synenergene.eu/>. Since January 2015, the Bioflux Project
<http://www.bioflux.eu> has been developing open-source tools for bio-lab
automation aiming at promoting a new field: "digital biology". At technical
level, Bioflux is developing a programmable laboratory, where the
bio-protocols will be designed and executed through a computer interface.
At larger scale Bioflux is nurturing an online community of citizen
scientists that contribute to the research by sharing their own protocols
and giving feedback on the existing ones.

Looking forward to seeing you,

/Rüdiger and Mirela (on behalf of the Bioflux team)



PS: calling it seminary was at first a mistake of a non native english
speaker, but after learning about it
we considered it funny and decided to stick with this terminology. :)
