I am pleased to announce there will be a GMOD codefest occurring before the Plant and Animal Genomes meeting in San Diego. The codefest will be at the Town and Country hotel on January 9 and 10. If you would like to suggest a problem or project to address, add it to this Google Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_CnUW_W4tNyl7lSlihCwZDKT45VQQxcI3I-VgjnC2Dc/edit?usp=sharing>. The codefest is open to anyone who'd like to work on any GMOD project (or, better yet, any combination of GMOD projects), including but not limited to Tripal <http://gmod.org/wiki/Tripal>, Chado <http://gmod.org/wiki/Chado>, JBrowse <http://gmod.org/wiki/JBrowse> (1 and 2), Galaxy <http://gmod.org/wiki/Galaxy> and InterMine <http://gmod.org/wiki/InterMine>. We already know that there will be Tripal, Chado and JBrowse developers present. Registration information will be coming soon. You can follow the changes to this page: http://gmod.org/wiki/Codefest_2020 to keep up to date, or follow The Tweet of GMOD (@gmodproject) on Twitter. See you in San Diego, Scott -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott Cain, Ph.
