Anyone knows of any procedures or requirements to obtain support/"membership" from the Open Bioinformatics Foundation?
Our Institute is building the basic IT infrastructure and we do not have enough human resources to provide required support (I'm the only designer, developer, tester, etc) and we would like to enable collaboration of potential bioinformaticists around the world.
I have tried to contact someone in the Open Bioinformatics Foundation without success at all. The Board page
http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Board
contains an e-mail which isn't working, see this automatic reply:
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: board-owner@lists.open-bio.org
Due to an excessive amount of spam we have to close this list temporarily to everyone except BoD-members. We are working on a solution to restore the ability for our member community to reach the Board. Please stay tuned.
I've sent an e-mail to the current president of the Foundation but he didn't answer. Any suggestions?
