Mozilla Science Global Sprint. The Mozilla Global Science team will hold its second annual global sprint on June 4-5. This is an opportunity for people in the open source science community to learn about VIVO, and a chance for us to spend a couple of days producing things of value for VIVO. I plan to be on line those days contributing to the sprint. Please contact Alex Viggio if you have ideas about how we might participate.
