        Bioinformatics miniconf as part of Linux Conference Australia on
        22<br>
        January 2018 at University of Technology, Sydney.

        <div>We are hoping that with this talk we may attract more

        <div>contribute to the Open Source Stemformatics ecosystem,

        <div>I estimate the flights will cost around $300 via Jetstar
          (normally $139</div>

        <div>to include taxi fares to and from Melbourne airport for
          Sadia. We would</div>
