Cytoscape Retreat 2007

Amsterdam; the Netherlands - November 6th - 9th, 2007

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.

The 5th Annual Cytoscape Retreat will be held November 6th - 9th, 2006 (Tue-Fri) at the [http://www.amc.nl/ Academic Medical Center] of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Academisch+Medisch+Centrum,+Amsterdam,+North+Holland,+Netherlands&ie=UTF8&sll=52.373922,4.958954&sspn=0.178998,0.466919&z=11&ll=52.32275,4.957581&spn=0.179205,0.692139&om=1&iwloc=addr map]

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).

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.
