The BIO Bulletin Board is a newly created, Mailman-based listserver designed to facilitate discussions among the Open Source
bio-informatics community. The mailing list has been implemented in response to numerous requests for an e-mail based alternative to our ‘Ask The Open Lab’ web-forum, which lacks this facility. It is intended to provide a convenient resource and archive for members of the bioinformatics community. Free / Open Source software products and service announcements are encouraged; however, advertising commercial software products and services, or spamming of any kind is NOT permitted. With this post, LMN is also introducing its ‘BioInformatics’ subject area.
