SBOL Editors Weekly Update - July 25th

[Tramy Nguyen]

SBOL Editor Election:

If you have not already voted, please help our community and vote here. We have 5 great candidates that are running for the editor position. 

It was brought to my attention that the first few days of the voting form did not require the e-mail address as a required field when submitting the vote. We do need your e-mail to validate your vote. If you voted without your e-mail address, then your vote will be void. If you fall under this category, please vote again.

SBOL Workshop @ IWBDA:

Berkeley, CA on Jul. 31st - Aug. 3rd

IWBDA is about to start in the next of few days. We have an SBOL workshop prepared for those who are in the area and are curious to attend.
