The final day to submit new packages to the Bioconductor contributions tracker to have a shot at being included in the upcoming 3.16 release is tomorrow Friday October 7th.
Please note: submission by this date does not guarantee it will be included - the package must undergo an official review and be accepted by Wednesday October 26th.
The new submission tracker may be found here: https://github.com/Bioconductor/Contributions/issues
Guidelines for Bioconductor packages may be found: http://contributions.bioconductor.org/
Submissions after Friday October 7th and those that are not accepted by October 26th will still be able to be in Bioconductor but will be included in the development branch until the 3.17 release next Spring.
Please see the release schedule for other important deadlines http://bioconductor.org/developers/release-schedule/
Thank you on behalf of the Core Team
