==Biocuration 2013 conference, Cambridge, 7-10th April 2013==
 
 
submission deadline for abstracts for posters is Jan 31st.
 
 
website and registration are now open:  [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biocuration2013/ Biocuration 2013]
 
 
==[http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/NCBO_Hackathon_2013 NCBO Hackathon] April 29-30, 2013==
 
 
The NCBO Hackathon will take place at Stanford University on April 29-30, 2013. This event will focus on projects in biomedical or clinical informatics that can benefit from use of ontology-based technology.
 
 
The entire NCBO Team will be available to brainstorm application ideas and to answer development questions. We will also have separate sessions to provide training on the NCBO Web services, the BioPortal SPARQL endpoint, and other topics of interest requested by participants.
 
 
If you are thinking of incorporating semantics into your software application, the Hackathon will provide a great opportunity to get a head start on your project.

==PRO-PO-GO meeting, May 15-16th 2013==
 
Please see this page for more information: [[PRO-PO-GO_Meeting]]
 
 
Location: Buffalo, NY 
 
 
Dates: May 15-16th, 2013.
 
 
Goals:
 
# To educate members of the PRO, PO and GO communities concerning developments in each of the three ontologies, with a view to enhanced coordination
 
# To identify potentially fruitful applications which such enhanced coordination might bring 
 
# To enhance the Protein Ontology treatment of plant-related proteins
 
# To address coordination issues between the GO and PO, for example as concerns treatment of development stages
 
# To further those aspects of CROP which relate to PRO and GO [this is assuming that PRO is included as one of the external ontologies in CROP]
 
 
 
Tentative participant list:
 
 
PO Consortium members: Pankaj Jaiswal and Laurel Cooper (OSU), Dennis Stevenson (NYBG), Barry Smith (Buffalo), others?
 
 
GO Consortium members: Jane Lomax (EBI), Judith Blake (JAX), Alex Diehl (Buffalo) who else?
 
 
PRO Consortium members: Cathy Wu, Alan Ruttenberg (Buffalo)
 
 
''BS would like a list of who we would like to include in the meeting and whose costs can be covered by PO''
