BCC2020 and Galaxy Admin Training
by Dave Clements 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hello all, There are three things going on that are of general interest to the Galaxy and GMOD communities, and that have some urgency to them (and thus this mid-month email). BCC2020 Schedule Structure ----------------------- The Bioinformatics Community Conference (BCC2020, https://bcc2020.github.io/) will be held in July, in Toronto, right after ISMB in Montréal. This event brings together the BOSC and Galaxy communities into one gathering. If you are considering attending BCC2020, then the organizers would like your input on several scheduling choices, BY JANUARY 7: https://bcc2020.github.io/blog/poll BCC2020 Training Topic Nominations ------------------------ The training offered at BCC2020 is determined by the community. We are now accepting nominations for training sessions. Nominated topics will be voted on by the community. Please submit your ideas by JANUARY 17. https://bcc2020.github.io/blog/training-nom 2020 Galaxy Admin Training ----------------------- A week long workshop on setting up your own production-grade Galaxy instance will be held in Barcelona the first week of March. Registration is now open, and is, well, pretty darn cheap too. https://galaxyproject.org/events/2020-03-admin/ And, of course, there is a lot of other stuff going on too: https://galaxyproject.org/events/ Happy Holidays, and hope to see you in the new year!

Release of Galaxy 19.09
by John Chilton 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Dear Community, The Galaxy Committers team is pleased to announce the release of Galaxy 19.09. The release announcement for developers and admins can be found at https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/19.09_announce.html and user facing release notes are at https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/19.09_announce_user.html. A few release highlights are: Interactive Tools ---------------------- A new type of Galaxy tool has been implemented that allows interactive experiences like Galaxy Interactive Environments (via a proxy and Docker containers) but using plugins defined with Galaxy’s XML tool syntax. Workflow Invocation Reports --------------------------- Workflows may now define Markdown templates with Galaxy-specific embedded syntax extensions that can tie together workflow inputs, outputs, jobs, and metadata into rich reports. New Toolshed Client Interface ----------------------------- This project drove numerous enhancements to the Tool Shed API, including vastly improved search functionality. This interface has been completely re-imagined and feels much more interactive. Check out the release notes for a lot more details - there are many more enhancements such as new interface elements, visualizations, datatypes, and more. There are also important notes for Galaxy deployers - such as information about configuration changes in this release and the formal deprecation of Python 2.7 support (this will be the last release with formal support of Python 2). Thanks for using Galaxy!

by Dave Clements 15 May '19

15 May '19

Hi All, The latest GCC2019 news: - A (final) reminder that early registration for the 2019 Galaxy Community Conference ENDS THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, 17 May, at midnight Freiburg time (CEST / GMT +2). After that registration goes up by ~ 60%. So, register this week! https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2019/registration/ - All accepted speakers have been notified and talks are being added to the schedule as presenters confirm. There were far more talk submissions this year than in any previous year and that is reflected in the breadth and quality of the accepted talks. https://gcc2019.sched.com/ - Poster and demo submission is still open! However, space *will* fill up and when it's gone, it's gone. Got something to present? Submit it *soon*. https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2019/abstracts/ We hope to see you in Freiburg! Dave C on behalf of the GCC2019 Organizers ------------------ 2019 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2019) 1-8 July, Freiburg, Germany https://galaxyproject.org/gcc2019 ------------------ The 2019 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2019) will be held 1-8 July in Freiburg, Germany. GCC brings together hundreds of faculty, clinicians, researchers, and students, all working in and supporting data intensive science that is accessible, sharable and reproducible. GCC2019 features oral presentations, lightning talks, posters, demos, birds-of-a-feather gatherings (BoFs), training, a CollaborationFest, and plenty of opportunities for networking. Presentations will cover the full spectrum of Galaxy applications, enhancements and deployments. If you are working in data intensive science then GCC2019 is an ideal conference for sharing your work, learning from others, and finding new collaborators. Registration Early registration starts at €49/day for students and postdocs, and €79 / day for other academics and non-profit researchers. Childcare is available and travel fellowships are available as well. Early registration ends 17 May, when rates go up by 60%. So, register early. About Galaxy Galaxy (https://galaxyproject.org/) is a platform for data integration and analysis in the life sciences. It enables researchers to build, run, share, and repeat their own complex computational analyses using only a web browser and without having to first learn system administration and command line interfaces. The Galaxy Project is driven by a vibrant community who publish workflows and analyses, wrap new tools, maintain and enhance the source code, provide support, and write documentation and training materials. Galaxy is open-source and freely available, and is deployed in hundreds of organizations, running on everything from laptops through supercomputers to public and private clouds. Over 150 of these platforms are publicly available and can be used with little or no setup. Thousands of tools have been ported to Galaxy ("wrapped") and are deployable from the Galaxy Tool Shed. Galaxy was developed to support life science research, but the software is domain agnostic and is now used in domains as diverse as natural language processing, constructive solid geometry, and social science. -- https://galaxyproject.org/gcc2019/ https://galaxyproject.org/ https://usegalaxy.org/
