This document discusses plans for developing an events platform at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). It will use Drupal as a service and include features like an events repository, controlled vocabularies, and support for common data standards. The platform will be developed collaboratively with other bioinformatics organizations. Plans include upgrading an existing Drupal installation, merging content from different sources, distributing content via feeds, redesigning pages and layout, and improving search capabilities. The goal is to create a centralized resource for disseminating life science events information.
