We are delighted to welcome back the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI; https://chanzuckerberg.com/science) as a Platinum sponsor of #BOSC2024!

The aim of CZI’s Open Science program is the universal and immediate open sharing of all scientific knowledge, processes, and outputs.

So join us at #BOSC2024 / #ISMB2024 to ask us questions, explore any of the features above, or do a deep-dive into 1.15.0, the most recent important release of Dockstore. Catch us at our workshop, our poster (session D), or give us a shout on our discussion forum ( https://buff.ly/3W7pM8J ) .

#BOSC2024 starts one week from today! Check out our schedule page for a full list of talks and posters, as well as info about our keynotes and panel! https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2024/bosc-2024-schedule/

Explore our newly tuned search (https://buff.ly/3L6XKnI ), highlighting search results, better prioritized to show workflows relevant to you, and integrated with new features such as parsing language and engine versions and metrics.

Get an idea as to how long your WDL workflows will run, we’ve now loaded and aggregated data on over 10 million runs (from 2022, 2023, and 2024 Terra data through June 14th) giving you an idea of success rates and average/minimum/maximum runtimes for successful, unsuccessful, and aborted runs. Let us know if you want to contribute data too!

Dockstore has achieved Revision 5 compliance with NIST SP 800-53, passing the audit process in 2024 thanks to our development and security team. Read more about our original compliance with Revision 4 on https://buff.ly/3VSLg8c #BOSC2024

New tools increase usability by giving you the ability to diagnose issues with updates to your entries on Dockstore including enhanced github app logs, a new landing page, and a command-line tool for validating your .dockstore.yml files.

We’ll be seeing you at ISMB/BOSC 2024 either in-person or virtually. Check out our poster in Session D or if you’re registered for our joint workshop with Terra.bio . We will also be counting down with a summary of recent features to Dockstore, both small and large as #BOSC2024 @BOSC approaches.

Whether or not you're attending #BOSC2024 / #ISMB2024, we invite you to participate in CoFest 2024! This annual collaborative work event will take place on July 17-18, right after ISMB and BOSC 2024. It will be a hybrid event, hosted at UQAM | Université du Québec à Montréal and online. Registration is free (and simple). More info: https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2024/obf-bosc-collaborationfest-2024/

One of the many reasons to attend #BOSC2024 is the great keynotes! Our first keynote speaker this year, Mélanie Courtot, will explain why "The Data Shows We Need Better Data"...especially when you're using the data as input to AI. Read more about Mélanie and her talk at https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2024/bosc-2024-keynotes/

If you missed the deadline to submit for a talk at #BOSC2024, you still have two weeks left to submit for a Late Poster (deadline May 20)! We welcome abstracts on all aspects of #OpenSource #Bioinformatics and #OpenScience. Visit https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2024/submit/ for more info! 🍐

Thanks to support from our sponsors (https://www.open-bio.org/events/sponsors/), #BOSC2024 offers a limited number of registration fee waivers to presenters. You can request this on the abstract submission form, https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2024/submit/ (reviewers won't see that field). We prioritize requests from people from groups that are underrepresented in #bioinformatics.

THREE MORE DAYS to submit your abstract about #OpenSource #Bioinformatics or #OpenScience to #BOSC2024! https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2024/submit/

Call for abstracts: #BOSC2024, the 25th #bioinformatics #opensource Conference 🍐

This year’s theme, Open Approaches to #ai / #ml, will be reflected in a panel discussion and a talk session.

Regular abstract submission deadline: April 19. Early Poster Acceptance: submit your abstract by March 21, find out March 29 whether it has been accepted for (at least) a poster.

Last year, BOSC started offering Early Poster Acceptance! Take advantage of this opportunity to submit an abstract early (by March 21, 2024) to #BOSC2024 and find out March 29 if it's accepted for a poster.

If you are hoping for a talk, your abstract will stay in the pool for the regular review round, and you can even update it until the regular submission deadline (April 19), so there’s nothing to lose by submitting early.
