The Call for Workshop Track Proposals for ISMB 2014 can be found [http://www.iscb.org/ismb2014-submission/ismb2014-workshops here].

== Introduction ==
The ISMB 2014 meeting will be held July 11 - 15 in Boston. As in previous years, the bioinfo-core group will submit a proposal for a workshop and we would like to encourage greater involvement from everyone in the bioinfo-core community, including members of the mailing list, those who dial into the quarterly teleconference calls and those who've attended past workshops, in helping to shape the format and content of the 2014 workshop.

ISMB workshops run on the same schedule as other conference parallel tracks and are half-day sessions of 2 hours, normally split into two 55-minute sessions and allowing for 5 minutes movement between parallel tracks.

The deadline for submitting workshop proposals is December 20.

== Topic Suggestions ==
* Commercial bioinformatics software - in what areas do bioinformatics cores value commercial software over open source/freely available alternatives and how do they manage the costs involved?
* Bioinformatics tool management - installation, testing
* Analysis reproducibility
* The Biologist is the analyst - teaching bioligists programming skills or tools such as Galaxy
* Data visualization
* Economics of a Core
* "Bioinformatics on a budget" vs "A well funded bioinformatics core" - what each can learn from the other?

== Potential Changes to Format ==
We have been considering changing the format for the second part of the workshop to be more of an open discussion session, following a similar model to that which has proved successful for a yearly high-throughput sequencing day-long meeting in Cambridge, UK that attracts around 150 people. This would feature a series of questions or burning issues submitted in advance by the workshop participants that would then be collated and organized into groupings or themes. During the workshop session these would be introduced and opened up for discussion and debate.

We'd be very happy to hear people's thoughts about trying something like this - please send your comments to the [[http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/bioinfo-core bioinfo-core list]].

+Simon Andrews is one of the organizers of the Cambridge sequencing meeting and here are his comments about how it worked, taken from his posting to the bioinfo-core list:
 :: ''"Several weeks before the meeting put out a request to the people attending (or the core mailing list in our case) asking for submissions of short topics which they would find interesting.  The topics could be a simple question, a suggestion of an area for discussion or a specific observation which they thought was interesting.  We said that people could supplement their question with a single powerpoint slide if it helped to illustrate it (showing a graph, QC report etc), but in practice very few people added the slide.  All submissions were to be presented anonymously unless people specifically said that they’d be happy to have their name attached.''
