The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is an academic conference on open-source programming and other open science practices in bioinformatics, organised by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation. The conference has been held annually since 2000 and is run as a two-day meeting either within Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference or as a joint conference with the Galaxy community.
Program
The conference is held as a single track consisting of presentations, poster sessions and two keynote talks by people of influence in open-source bioinformatics.[1]
Since 2010, an informal two-day "CollaborationFest" (formerly Codefest) has been held directly preceding the conference.[3][4]
History
National Institutes of Health Associate Director for Data Science Philip Bourne and C. Titus Brown gave keynote talks at BOSC 2014.[5]
BOSC 2016 was organized in Orlando, Florida from July 8–9 before the main ISMB conference.[6]
In 2018 and 2020, BOSC partnered with Galaxy to organize two joint conferences called GCCBOSC and Bioinformatics Community Conference (BCC) respectively.[7] The event in 2018 was held in Portland, Oregon .[8] The BCC in 2020 took place online with two time schedules for eastern/western time zones[9]
Since 2021, BOSC has been taking place within the ISMB conferences again. In 2023 BOSC will take place in Lyon, France between July 24-28 as part of the ISMB/ECCB conference.
Past conferences
As of November 2022, there have been 23 BOSC held around the world, of those 20 were purely in-person conferences, 2 purely remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic and one that was organized as a hybrid meeting.[10]
