I gave my first talk yesterday at the UCD Bioinformatics Seminar Series. A couple of points. One I must remember to start
using some kind of slide sharing service in order to preserve my talks. I'm impressed by the ability of others
to maintain a record of their public speaking events.
The other major point that emerged from this was a discussion of Open Data and the challenges that opens up. I've
already expressed an interest in hosting DAS services or Webservices on cloud infrastructure and I'll hopefully
get some time to work on this in a couple of months time. I came across this article today on the topic of
<a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/03/truly-open-data.html">Open Data</a> and it reminded me to restart a
couple of data sharing projects. Hosting these in the cloud is really attractive for researchers since it
dramatically lowers the costs and most of the time the amount of usage expected is lower than the pay threshold
for these services.
I'll be putting the <a href="http://bioware.ucd.ie/slimfinder.html">SLiMFinder</a> code up on a svn server at some
point in the near future. Hopefully that will spur some increased development of that code. There is a mailing list
on googlegroups as well if people are interested.
