The next AIRR community meeting will be held on December 3-6, 2017, at the NIH Fishers Lane Conference Centre, Rockville, Maryland. More information can be found here: http://airr.irmacs.sfu.ca/meetings/communityIII Johannes and Jake will both be attending this meeting. Johannes will be giving a talk on the Tuesday, and Jake will be presenting a poster.

There are a few default themes already created for hugo which can be used to speed up the development process.
