She has been accepted to talk at the second Open Source and<br>
Bioinformatics miniconf as part of Linux Conference Australia on
22<br>
January 2018 at University of Technology, Sydney.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are hoping that with this talk we may attract more
people to help<br>
</div>
<div>contribute to the Open Source Stemformatics ecosystem,
especially </div>
<div>around the Data Portal. We have been improving our
documentation </div>
<div>and will be updating our website to provide more
information about </div>
<div>how to contribute code to this and other Stemformatics
projects.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I estimate the flights will cost around $300 via Jetstar
(normally $139</div>
<div>or $149 without check-in). I wasn't sure if there would be
a provision </div>
<div>to include taxi fares to and from Melbourne airport for
Sadia. We would</div>
<div>be happy to pay the taxi fares in Sydney, as we have
another </div>
<div>developer, Isha Nagpal, who is also speaking at the same
event.</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have
around this.</div>
