Galaxy @ PAG 2012
by Dave Clements 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

Hello all, Plant and Animal Genome XX (PAG2012) starts in San Diego on January 14. If you are attending PAG then you will have (at least) a half-dozen opportunities to learn more about Galaxy and how it is being used to support research. There will be workshops introducing Galaxy, and on deploying Galaxy in the cloud, and talks and posters on using Galaxy and several local Galaxy deployments. See the Galaxy @ PAG2012 page (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/PAG2012) and the conference website (http://www.intlpag.org/) for more information. Dannon Baker and Dave Clements from the Galaxy Team ( http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Galaxy%20Team) will also be there throughout the meeting. Please feel free to ask us questions, or just introduce yourself. Hope to see you in San Diego, Dave Clements and Dannon Baker -- http://galaxyproject.org/ http://getgalaxy.org/ http://usegalaxy.org/ http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/

Looking for Galaxy related papers (or have written one)? There is a new Galaxy Group @ CiteULike
by Dave Clements 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hello all, A new Galaxy Group <http://www.citeulike.org/group/16008/order/group_rating>has been created at the CiteULike <http://citeulike.org/> social bookmarking service to organize papers that are about, use, or reference Galaxy. The Galaxy Group<http://www.citeulike.org/group/16008/order/group_rating>is open to any CiteULike user (and anyone can become a CiteULike user). Group members can add papers to the group, assign tags, and rate papers. CiteULike makes extensive use of *tags* to organize and categorize papers. The Galaxy group uses this set of tags<http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/CiteULike#CiteULike_Tags>to categorize papers. If you want to help other Galaxy users and sites find papers that are relevant to them, or help the Galaxy Project keep track of what papers (and communities) are using Gaalxy, then please help by adding relevant papers to the Galaxy Group Library<http://www.citeulike.org/group/16008/order/group_rating>and/or rating and tagging the papers that are there. *We particularly need help with papers that were published before this year, as very few of them are in the initial list. * Links: http:/galaxyproject.org/wiki/CiteULike - Explanation of tags http://www.citeulike.org/group/16008/order/group_rating - Galaxy Group list of papers Thanks, Dave Clements PS: To cite the Galaxy Project, see http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Citing%20Galaxy. -- http://galaxyproject.org/ http://getgalaxy.org/ http://usegalaxy.org/ http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/

Galaxy-Announce: A new, moderated, low-volume Galaxy Mailing List
by Dave Clements 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hello all, There is a new mailing list in the Galaxy: Galaxy-Announce. Galaxy-Announce is a *moderated, low-volume *mailing list. Galaxy-Announce complements the existing Galaxy-User (about the public server at UseGalaxy.org) and Galaxy-Dev (deployment and development) mailing lists. However, unlike those relatively high-volume mailing lists, Galaxy-Announce will only have a few messages each month. If you are looking for a Galaxy list that just covers the big stuff, this is your list. To subscribe to the list please add your email address to the list here: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-announce See http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Mailing%20Lists for more information on this and other Galaxy mailing lists, including links to searchable archives of all Galaxy lists. Thanks, Dave C. -- http://galaxyproject.org/ http://getgalaxy.org/ http://usegalaxy.org/ http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/
