Re: [Gmod-tripal-devel] Call for abstracts: BOSC 2019 Bioinformatics Open Source Conference

[Scott C. <sc...@sc...>]

Do you want to send them directly or should I forward?  It doesn't matter
much to me:

gmo...@li...
gmo...@li...
gmo...@li...
gmo...@li...
ap...@lb...

Ordinarily, I'd through the intermine and galaxy mailing lists in there
too, but in the case of BOSC I don't think that's necessary :-)
