Open Source/Open Science Brookhaven National Laboratory http://openscience.bnl.gov/ This message is to announce a one day conference titled "Open Source/Open Science" to be held on Saturday, October 2nd, at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The purpose of the conference is to bring together open source developers and scientists who use open source for a day of talks. The talks will focus on the use of open source in science along with talks on leading edge open source projects which will have a large impact on scientific research. The conference is designed to attract attendees from the NY metro area as well as greater Long Island. Along with the schedule of talks, tours of the laboratory facilities are planned throughout the day so that the attendees can see first hand where open source software is being used at one of the nations premier national laboratories. Bus service will be provided between Ronkonkoma and BNL to help facilitate transport for attendees who will be traveling from the NY metro area via the LIRR. The current list of the speaker topics are Use of Open Source in BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Use of Open Source at the National Synchrotron Light Source The Galaxy Parallel Computer Project at SUNY Stony Brook Open Source Biology Software IBMs DX Data Visualization Software (recently open sourced) SGI's GLX and XFS (recently open sourced) Open Source Compiler Technology Making Open Source usable The purpose of this announcement is to gauge the interest and numbers of those who would like to attend, so that the organizing committee can better plan the event. If you think you might want to attend, please send e-mail to osos@openscience.bnl.gov with information on the approximate number of people who will join you and where you will be coming from. (i.e. Will you need transportation from Ronkonkoma to BNL?) Also include any other comments/questions about the conference you may have. The questions will serve as a starting point for the conference FAQ. A formal announcement and web page will be setup in the next few weeks. Thank you.
