HARMONY is an annual hackathon meeting where computational biologists from the COMBINE community come together to discuss their current status on the development of data standards for the biology community. 

We ask that those who plan on attending the SBOL breakout sessions to complete the survey so the editors could get a good idea on who to expect at the meeting, both locally and virtually.
