Hi All,
Hello
Following the very successful Debian Med Bioinformatics Sprint last year
in Luebeck, we propose a second one to be held in the UK early next
year. As I didn't duck fast enough I'm currently the main organiser.
The likely location is Southport (exact venue TBC) on the north west
coast of England. Transport links are generally good with flights to
nearby Manchester and Liverpool.
You can catch a train straight from Manchester Airport to Southport.
They are approximately every hour and the journey takes 90 minutes. It
is a relatively slow train as it seems to stop at every station :-)

For now I just want to set a date, so I'll propose the last weekend in
January - the 27th,28th,29th - as per last time. Please let me know if:
a) You want to come but can't make that date
b) You want to come but can't do a weekend
Once I have the date fixed I'll advertise more widely and ask all
prospective attendees to add themselves to the Wiki page in order to
keep track of numbers, and I'll start looking for a venue.
The dates are fine with me.
I can't say right now if there will be any travel sponsorship for
volunteers, but hopefully that will be possible.
Cheers,
TIM
Alan
