'''This is a preliminary set-up for the retreat 2007. Consider it a kind of RFC for the coming month or so; any suggestions changes are welcome!
The only date that's pretty much fixed is the symposium date; than is the only time a big conference room is available. In the current scenario (CytoRetreat2007Planning : due in a few days) a first announcement will be sent at the beginning of april; so that should be the end of RFC status.''' 		'''This set of pages will from now on serve as the central site for the organization of the retreat. During the retreat this will also serve as starting point for notes, planning etc. The actual announcement site (now under construction) will come directly under the Cytoscape site; much like the tutorial pages are organized.'''

Line 15: Line 14:
We want to reach these goals in a retreat spanning four days. The first and last day are mainly intended for the Cytoscape core development team and other developers who write their own Cytoscape plugins. The second and third days are aimed at a wide audience of molecular biologists and bioinformaticians in the Netherlands, Europe and internationally and to attract them we will invite several high profile speakers. '''____'''
Line 17: Line 16:
Cytoscape is jointly developed by the groups of Benno Schwikowski (Pasteur Institute, Paris), Trey Ideker (University of California San Diego), Chris Sander (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Lee Hood (Institute of Systems Biology, Seattle), and Annette Adler (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). This year the retreat will be co-hosted by two new contributor groups of Tom Ferrin (UCSF Computer Graphics Laboratory) and Bruce Conklin (Gladstone/UCSF, GenMAPP). '''__Pre-Reading__: '''
Line 19: Line 18:
The meeting will mainly be informal and technically focused with all major Cytoscape team members gathered together to set new directions for Cytoscape, plan new features and collaboratively work on code. Cytoscape-related presentations by invitees are welcome. Social activities around the meeting are also scheduled. This is a great chance to influence the development direction of Cytoscape.
