Upcoming NIH NCBC All-Hands Meeting (Monday 7/17 - 7/19)

Hi All,

I realize we are all over-subscribed for our time but thought it  
would still be worth posting a link to this upcoming event given how  
seminal these NIH Blueprint NCBCs (National Centers for Biomedical  
Computing) - and the cross-NCBC working groups - are to the goals we  
are also trying to accomplish.

I assume some folks on this list may already be planning to attend  
either because they are members of an NCBC or have been working with  
one or more NCBC on various projects.

Here are the links I found the most relevant to the issues we've been  
discussing:

	1) General NCBC AHM page [http://www.bisti.nih.gov/ahm2006/index.htm]
	2) Cross-NCBC Working Groups page [http://www.bisti.nih.gov/ahm2006/ 
NCBC%20Workgroups.htm]
		* I'd strongly recommend drilling into links '1' & '2' on this  
page, if you are not familiar with these efforts already
		* I think it would be extremely valuable to have someone report  
back to the various W3C SW HCLS Subgroups on these working group  
sessions (7/18).  It would also be very useful for the W3C SW HCLS IG  
to be able to report in general on the work underway here.  Daniel  
Rubin of NCBO will certainly be in attendance, so he might be able to  
provide some of this input.
	3) Current list of meeting registrants [http://pub.nigms.nih.gov/ 
generic_meeting/registrant_list.cfm?id=31]
	4) NCBC Dissemination Events [http://www.bisti.nih.gov/ahm2006/ 
Dissemination%20Events.htm]

Since this is an All-Hands Meeting designed to foster communication  
and interactions amongst members of these NCBCs, it may in fact be  
the case the meeting itself is not open to the general public beyond  
the final day (7/19), where all 7 NCBCs will give simultaneous  
"dissemination" presentations [http://www.bisti.nih.gov/ahm2006/ 
Dissemination%20Events.htm].

Karen Skinner of NIDA is the co-organizer of this event along with  
Peter Lyster of NIGMS.  Karen may in fact be on this list, so she  
could tell us whether the entire meeting is in fact open to other NIH- 
funded researchers - or to the public at-large.

Cheers,
Bill
