Drew's BG

• to ensure Biobricks exist as available components and can be shared and used
• if you don't like these rules, discuss and change them
• 300 members
• Technical group
• legal group
• even more volunteers
• educational / outreach group
• Volunteer board (tom, randy, pam, chris voigt)

Existence: Free Biobrick Parts (Move away from balkanized economy of genetic widgets to an open economy of freely available parts that work together)

No obvious legal framework

Not clear what a standard biological part is

• • beyond first draft (a la TK)

Hence, these workshops - let's work on the legal framework and technical standards. That way, many more people than the BBF can choose to use and contribute to the collection of standard biological parts
