Dear Participant,
It came to our attention that some of you didn't receive the welcome email, so here is all you need to know about participating in the Galaxy training academy.
As the event is self-paced you can start with the event whenever it fits your schedule. Before you start with your first training we encourage you to join us on the Slack #social https://gtnsmrgsbord.slack.com/archives/C01EDBVMHBQ channel to get to know each other. And Meet & Join the Galaxy Community! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1MPdxmRs8U
Asynchronous does not mean that you are alone! If you ever need help, you can ask your questions on the Slack channel of your training.
