Galaxy has been deployed in several contexts by the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute (MSI) https://www.msi.umn.edu/ at the University of Minnesota - Twin Citites https://www.umn.edu/. This month Evan Bollig https://www.msi.umn.edu/staff/evan and JJ Johnson https://www.msi.umn.edu/staff/jj of MSI will discuss several aspects of this work relevant to the GalaxyAdmins https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/GalaxyAdmins group:
-
customizations made to Galaxy that enable MSI to leverage it as a Tier I service https://www.msi.umn.edu/services for our users (e.g., scheduling, quotas, billing, and sharing). -
Pulsar https://github.com/galaxyproject/pulsar for Galaxy-P https://usegalaxyp.org/ tools on Windows. -
the CLIA-certified http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/IVDRegulatoryAssistance/ucm124105.htm pipelines and how Galaxy is integrated into clinical workflows
*2. Galaxy Radio Telescope*
The GRT https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/2455 aims to collect job run information from Galaxy servers that opt into the process. Galaxy Admins can sign in to the GRT, register their Galaxy servers, and get back API keys per-Galaxy instance. Then they set up a cron job (preferably weekly, but we may explore options here later), and submit job data to the GRT.
See https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Community/GalaxyAdmins/Meetups/2016_06_16 for full details and links. The conference room link will be posted an hour before the meetup.
GalaxyAdmins is a discussion group for Galaxy community members that administer Galaxy installations.
Hope to see you (online) on Thursday,
Dave Clements and Hans-Rudolf Hotz
