The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is a meeting organized by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF), a non-profit group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of Open Source software development and Open Science within the biological research community. The 18th annual BOSC ( http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/BOSC_2017) took place in Prague, Czech Republic in July 2017. The conference brought together nearly 250 bioinformatics researchers, developers and users of open source software to interact and share ideas about standards, bioinformatics software development, open and reproducible science, and this year's theme, open data. As in previous years, the conference was preceded by a two-day collaborative coding event open to the bioinformatics community, called the OBF Codefest.
生物信息学开源会议(BOSC)由开放生物信息学基金会(OBF)组织,该基金会是一个非营利性组织,致力于在生物研究领域推广开源软件开发和开放科学的实践与理念。第18届年度BOSC(http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/BOSC_2017)于2017年7月在捷克共和国布拉格举行。此次会议汇聚了近250名生物信息学研究人员、开源软件开发人员和用户,就标准、生物信息学软件开发、开放且可重复的科学以及今年的主题——开放数据进行交流和分享想法。与往年一样,在会议之前,面向生物信息学社区举办了为期两天的协作编码活动,即OBF代码节。
