The Foundation is now turning our attention to our Foundation Annual Meeting that will be hosted by the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from October 14th through 16th. We have developed an exciting agenda of speakers, which will focus not only on our platform, but also include other open-source projects that we can learn from and with which we can interact. We will also be offering our first Foundation sponsored training program in collaboration with Rancho Biosciences. Click here to register. I look forward to seeing you there.
