Peter Hickey (21:29:12): > i don’t think mass spec will work. yes, there’s stuff in bioc but none of us (I think) have any expertise

Peter Hickey (21:29:52): > precision medicine - well i don’t really know what they mean. … but, as you say@saskia, that could be good cause we can make it whatever we want it to mean

Peter Hickey (21:34:10): > if either of you have time this week to write that more coherently to send on our behalf to Jean, it’d be much appreciated. otherwise i will try to do on the weekend

Peter Hickey (21:35:06): > and yeah,@Stevie Pederson, i’m also happy to clash with whatever on thursday to get a developer-focused day happening. > we should find out what other (inter)national speakers they’re inviting and see who might be good to invite along (e.g., John Marioni)

Peter Hickey (00:26:23): > there’s been no planning meetings since last year’s conference and I don’t know of any expressions of interest to host. > are you interested in hosting in Sydney or just in general organisation?

Dario Strbenac (00:45:16): > Just a general organisation once the hosting institution is selected.

Kozo Nishida (05:00:44): > Hi@Dario Strbenac. > Do you meanthe symposium== BioCAsia2022 ? > (Let me check it just in case.)

Dario Strbenac (05:05:02): > I do.

Kozo Nishida (05:23:07): > @Dario StrbenacI also understand that you are interested in joining the committee after the hosting organization has been selected. > (Thanks for asking that,@Peter Hickey)

Peter Hickey (17:42:27): > Is anyone interested in hosting BioC Asia in 2022, particularly those outside of Australia? > This could be a hybrid meeting with an in-person component or fully virtual. > > An alternative is that we have been approached by the Australian Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Society (ABACBS) about again having BioC Asia as a satellite event for the annual ABABCS conference (to be held in November, 2022). > This would likely be a hybrid meeting.

2022-03-01

Kozo Nishida (02:11:02): > @Dario StrbenacSorry for my late reply. > The BioCAsia2022 hosting organization has not yet been decided, but you can get involved in the organizing committee. > The work of the organizing committee includes the following. > Let me know if you are interested in any of these. > * Schedule and host organization decisions > * local or virtual platform organizing > > * website (see alsohttps://bioc2022.bioconductor.org/) > * registration > * sponsorship > * contact with invited speakers > * community activities (BOF program) > * competitive decisions (talks, workshops) > * workshops technical aspects > * code of conduct > * scholarships > * stickers > * post-conference materials organization

Kozo Nishida (02:13:39): > Of course, if the first “Schedule and host organization decisions” have not been decided, it may not be clear which one to take charge of. > We will push forward it as Peter messaged it.

Kozo Nishida (02:15:50): > @Dario StrbenacIf you are interested in deciding on a host organization, please help “Schedule and host organization decisions”. > If you are interested in inviting keynote speakers instead, please help “contact with invited speakers”.

Kozo Nishida (02:18:16) (in thread): > Thanks for the message. > I also ask the AsiaR community about it.

Kozo Nishida (02:38:37): > In the future, AsiaR will continue to hold meet-ups on various themes. > (In it,) I’m considering introducing BioC Asia and calling for this year’s host organization.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EFKoFceB9EwPpeD93giFRyGLbZ92I5CCZPcWMc0aSpk/edit?usp=sharingI’m going to create (and share) the introductory slides for calling host organization(/institution). - File (Google Sheets): AsiaR_meetup_volunteers

2022-03-02

Peter Hickey (00:12:26): > it’s a good idea to speak with AsiaR. Can you please let me know when you will present. I will probably need to respond to the ABACBS president soon about what our plans our but it’s fine to tell him that we’re still thinking about where to host this year’s meeting

2022-03-04

2022-03-07

Peter Hickey (18:00:10): > no problem

Peter Hickey (21:17:59): > Today I joined the monthly ABACBS executive meeting. > The annual ABACBS conference is planned to be held in November at Monash University in Victoria, Australia (Monash’s main campus is ~1 hour outside Victoria’s capital city of Melbourne). > The proposal from ABACBS is to have BioC Asia as one of a small number (1-5) of satellite events to the ABACBS conference (likely after the main meeting). > We have run BioC Asia in conjunction with ABACBS on a few occasions.

Peter Hickey (21:18:35): > At Monash, there will be technical capacity for running this as a hybrid meeting which would allow those who can’t be in-person to participate online

Peter Hickey (21:22:54): > I indicated to ABACBS that we have not yet decided about how, where, and when to run Bioc Asia 2022. > I also mentioned that Kozo is discussing seeking interest from the AsiaR community. > However, I told ABACBS that what they suggest sounds like a good proposal and I think right now it is probably our most likely choice.

Peter Hickey (21:23:12): > I told them that we would give them a definitive answer by next month’s meeting, so I will organise a call for a couple of week’s time for us to discuss. Please indicate here if you are interested in joining this call

2022-03-12

Janani Ravi (12:47:18): > @Peter Hickey@Kozo Nishidawhat would be needed/what would it entail to host either a ‘full’ BioCAsia or a satellite spin-off from ABACBS this Nov 2022? I ask this to find out what we need in terms of infrastructure, sponsorships, personnel, invited speakers, call for abstracts, etc. Please let us know and we will take it back to AsiaR folks. thank you!

Kozo Nishida (22:23:08) (in thread): > Thank you Peter. I think it’s good for me and the Japanese people. > Because Japan is still very strict to re-enter the country due to pandemic.

Janani Ravi (22:23:56) (in thread): > It would make sense to invite AsiaR folks from different countries to partake but since we are coming out of the pandemic, it’s increasingly difficult to rally support & get people to make any kind of time or $$ commitment. We may need to ease into it for 2023!

Peter Hickey (22:36:42) (in thread): > We will hopefully have some funding available to support in-person attendance, but we also know that international travel may still essentially be impossible for people from many countries. > Promoting the event to the wider AsiaR network and giving people from that network an opportunity to present is high on my list of aims for this meeting. > We will be seeking ideas to ensure that online attendees don’t feel like ‘second class citizens’ (bad choice of words, I know) to those in-person attendees.

R has a package repository for biology called Bioconductor. Bioconductor holds annual conferences in Asia (BioC Asia), Europe (EuroBioC), and the United States (BioC).Kozo Nishidawill introduce you to what ‘BioC Asia’ looks like in ~10–15 minutes.Part II: ******How to use {************targets************} for effective workflows in R******Have you ever returned to an analysis in R and can’t remember which scripts you need to run and in what order to make things work? Do you want to speed up your analyses with parallelization? Do you want to ensure other people can run your code? The {targets} R package (https://docs.ropensci.org/targets/) can help! {targets} is increasingly becoming the de-facto standard in R for reproducible workflows but can be intimidating for new users to get started.Joel Nittawill conduct a short (~1 hr) interactive workshop to introduce participants to the {targets} package for managing workflows in R. Joel has published several analyses (papers) using {targets} and now uses it on a near-daily basis (https://github.com/joelnitta). The workshop materials are also available in Japanese (https://togotv.dbcls.jp/20220331.html).Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with R. If you plan to follow along during live coding, please install R, RStudio, and {targets}. > ——————–

stefano mangiola (02:19:35): > Hello Everyone,This morning, we had a great chat with@Stevie Pedersonabout the exciting future of theBiocAsia community. We discussed the importance of having an organised effort to boost community engagement and thought giving it an official name would help highlight its significance:BiocAsia Engagement InitiativeAs a first practical goal (with a 1-month timeline), we suggest identifying 1–2 enthusiastic**** “Engagement Champions”****from each major region in Asia-Pacific, such as: > • Japan > • China > • India > • Singapore > • South-east Asia > • New Zealand > • Hong Kong > • Australia (though we’re already quite active!) > •(Feel free to propose more!)These Engagement Champions would help drive community engagement with clear responsibilities we can define together. Some initial ideas include: > • Gathering participation and outreach across local institutions > • Defining requirements for digital platforms > • Identifying potential sponsors for the BiocAsia conference > > Once we collectively agree on these roles, we can begin identifying community members interested in taking on this meaningful, long-term commitment. > > We’d love your thoughts on this! Please share your feedback and any additional suggestions you may have.
