Hello all,
I am pleased to announce the *Galactic Blog https://galaxyproject.org/blog/,* a place for blogging about Galaxy and your experiences with it. The blog is on the Galaxy Hub https://galaxyproject.org/ and can be reached from the home page and the Hub's Community menu.
Our very first post https://galaxyproject.org/blog/2017-10-05-elixir-galaxy-community/ is about the ELIXIR Galaxy Community and was written by Frederik Coppens, Gildas Le Corguillé, and Björn Grüning. We have a few more posts lined up over the next week or so, but after that ...
*The Galactic Blog needs you! *If you've done something that others would benefit from knowing about then please create a Galactic Blog post describing your experiences. See the CONTRIBUTING https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy-hub/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#blog-metadata page. If you have questions, please let me know.
Blog posts can either be directly created in the Galactic Blog (and hosted on the Galaxy Hub https://galaxyproject.org/), or can be posted on your favorite blogging platform (see, for example, Galactic Engineer http://galacticengineer.blogspot.co.uk/) and linked to from the Galactic Blog. We'll tweet about every entry and highlight them in the monthly newsletter as well.
Finally, this was a team effort and I'd particularly like to thank Dannon Baker, Björn Grüning, and Martin Čech for their contributions.
I look forward to reading your blog posts!
Dave C
PS: The Galactic Blog replaces the former *Community Log* and includes all content from it (which is why, even though the blog is new, it includes entries back to 2013).
