Hello all,
The October Newsletter is out
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-10-galaxy-update/>. and it covers
Galaxy involvement in Hacktoberfest, and Outreachy, plus a nice batch of
trainings, talks and a Galaxy Papercuts CoFest day too. It also brings news
of new job openings on two continents, two new platforms, blog posts (where
My Little Pony makes an appearance, really), GTN updates (few in number but
big in their coolness), publications, and releases.
In other words, another active month in the Galaxy.
Beatriz Serrano-Solano and Dave Clements, Editors
