The '''Bioinformatics Open Source Conference''' ('''BOSC''') is an [[academic conference]] on [[open -source programming]] in [[bioinformatics]] organised by the [[Open Bioinformatics Foundation]]. The conference has been held annually since 2000 and is run as a two-day satellite meeting preceding the [[Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology]] (ISMB) conference.

== Program ==

The conference is held as a single track consisting of presentations, [[poster session]]s and two [[keynote|keynote talks]] by people of influence in open -source bioinformatics.<ref name=bosc-2013-report>{{cite journal|last1=Harris|first1=N.

Since 2010, an informal two-day [[Codefest]] has been held directly preceding the conference.<ref name=codefest>{{cite web|title=Codefest - Open Bioinformatics Foundation|url=http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Codefest|website=www.open-bio.org|accessdate=20 July 20, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Möller|first1=Steffen|last2=Afgan|first2=Enis|last3=Banck|first3=Michael|last4=Cock|first4=Peter J.
