Add Past Events #42

Closed cjmyers closed 1 year ago

cjmyers commented 3 years ago

An important activity of COMBINE is to organise common meetings, where the developers of the different standards can meet and work together. In 2010, we inaugurated a new, broader series of meetings to replace, the existing individual forums and hackathons. The new meetings are a recognition of the fact that there are multiple allied standardization efforts that should work together towards smooth interoperability. Moreover, we believe a joint meeting makes good economic sense: compared to multiple separate workshops, they reduce the overall number of meetings, travel, and money spent over the year.

Those events, as others related to our field of research are gathered in a calendar.

Annual COMBINE forums The annual COMBINE forums are workshop-style events with oral presentations plus discussion, poster and breakout sessions. They are aimed at further developing the standards. The meetings cover the COMBINE standards and associated or related standardization efforts. The participants are everyone wishing to participate to the development of the standards.

HARMONY hackathons

The Hackathons on Resources for Modeling in Biology (HARMONY) are a series of Hackathon-type meetings, with a focus on development of the support for standards, their interoperability and software infrastructure. Focus is not on general discussions or oral presentations but hands-on hacking and interaction between people focused on practical development of standards and supporting software. The participants are generally developers.

Prior to the HARMONY hackathons, joint meetings had been organised in an ad-hoc manner.

Superseded by the new link to the "old" site from the main events page?
