Unfortunately I can't make today's meeting.
For updates on my end: I've contacted the Student Biotechnology Network, who will advertise for hackseq on twitter and in their next newsletter, as well at the SFU CS department.

Hi all, I won't be able to make the meeting today either. For my updates: I've reached out to the Computer Science Student Society at SFU. I'm still waiting on UBC for wifi at the event. If they don't get back to me by the end of the week I'll send another email to remind them.

For everyone unable to make it, can you take a minute or two and think of if there is anything that you need us to discuss/assign out to do during our meeting (beyond just updates). Thanks!

Just to check; is someone replying to the participant emails we're getting on the hackseq email account?
If so can you 'archive' the emails you've dealt with so they are out of the inbox and we don't duplicate responses?
