Hi everyone -
I am copying the web conference announcement (sent to the list as a new
message) to this thread as well for those who may be watching this
discussion.
Thanks,
Ann
######################
Thank you to everyone who helped provide doodle poll input for the first
Czars web conference!
We have set the date:
*Date: *Monday, July 9th
*Time: *09:00 AM Central Time*
Web Conference (this will be recorded and posted for playback):
*We will be using a Blackboard Collaborate web conference. See the
section below for more tips on how to use Blackboard Collaborate
(Elluminate Live) if you have not used it before.
*
Agenda:*
* Logistics: Address how we want to tackle these calls. Go over generic
agenda. Frequency of calls
* Presentation: Galaxy at Iowa: Discuss our issues with big data, how
NGS tools take in/output data and finding the right storage server solution.
* Group Goals: what do we want to accomplish with this group beyond
discussions/sharing?
* Open Mic & recruit new volunteers for the next call.
*Blackboard Collaborate (Ellumiate Live!) Tips:
*For our web conferences we will try out Blackboard Collaborate web
conferencing software. You do not need any special client, just a web
browser and java installed (the client will run as a java web start
app). You don't need to use a headset, but if you have one it does
improve your audio. I will try to open up the session 15 minutes early
for people to join and try out the technology.
A couple of things to mention, when you launch your session - you can
tune your connection speed:
Talking works like a walkie-talkie ... you have to select "Talk" (see
capture below) to open up your audio line. There can only be 6
simultaneous talkers. Please only select the talk button when you need
to actually talk to reduce background noise and to free up lines for
others to participate.
Thanks!

Thanks Ann for your quick reply, sounds good.
I just submitted my info in reply to the online survey.
Regarding your issues: don't worry, I think we all suffer from the
same things, basically :). No need to apologize. As I stated in the
submitted web form we had similar problems with file systems and big
data. Maybe a topic for our conversations.
