Hackseq 18 #43
Description
Good day all former Hackseq organisers. It's time to look forward to Hackseq 18 (or whatever happens this year). So we should start recruiting organising members for the committee this year and decide whether you want to be part of it this year.
So if you will, please write here if you'd be willing to be an organiser for hackseq 18. I will not be as I should probably finish my PhD.
So shall we meet in mid-February and try to bring along someone that is interested in being an organiser? Especially someone that was previously a participant. I've arbitrarily picked a week in February and made a Doodle poll for anyone that wants to attend (in case people have regular commitments). The Doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/252gc565s956vavy . The meeting would likely be at 6:30pm at the Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre (570 W 7th ave) unless there are suggestions.

I guess I'm a bit more silly then you Jake, I'm going to try to finish my PhD and be an organizer ; )
@alyeffy said she might be interested

@JustinChu Are you interested in helping to organize Hackseq 2018?

We've only got responses from me, @ababaian and @sjackman . We'd need to find quite a few people for organisers this year. Thoughts?

I've posted a recruitment email to the Bioinformatics trainees group at UBC. If someone can draft an email for the Hackseq mailing list, that'll be great. I can subsequently forward it to the SFU Science faculty so we reach some of their departments too.

I'd say let's delay for a week or two and recruit the next set of people.

Sorry guys, I was a bit AWOL getting some boring paper pushing done. The manuscript is in review-waiting-hell so forget about it, it's not that important.
@jakelever Do you have a contact person you could email me for ECOSCOPE?
I also posted an issue for hackseq18 to start organizing: Link. If you can share this with people you think would be good organizers that would be great. I'll do my best getting the word out!

Hey, for the ECOSCOPE contact, @abaghela may be a useful contact. Jasleen and I were talking to Jennifer Bonderoff [bonderof@mail.ubc.ca] who was very supportive.
