Hi Ann I am definitively interested in any form of collaboration - thank you very much for bringing up this idea! However, I also share some of the concerns which have been raised by others. Even in Europe, we sometimes struggle to coordinate a conference call with the Americas and very often the quality is so bad it is impossible to have a discussion. Also, looking at the success of your original e-mail, now imagine a conference call with more than 20 participants... You can call me 'old fashion' but I prefer face-to-face meetings. So I am looking very much forward to Chicago this summer. I am aware, due to costs and other reasons not everybody will be able to attend GCC. Having regional Galaxy meetings is one solution. Together with the Galaxy developers, I intended to organize an European Galaxy workshop as part of ECCB2012 in Basel in September. Unfortunately, the ECCB organizers did approve our proposal. I will now organize a smaller (Swiss) workshop in fall which will be open to everybody. I'll keep the list posted as soon as it has been finalized. Nevertheless, I hope we can create an even better community and I will make any effort to take part in any upcoming Galaxy conference calls.

Hi everyone -
Here at the University of Iowa we are working on deploying Galaxy locally for campus wide access. I am interested in forming a community of other institutions trying to deploy Galaxy locally and mange/operate it on a broad level. Is anyone else? If there is enough interest, possibly we could have a community conference call every other month to have an open discussion on how we are all deploying galaxy, customizations we are making, problems we are encountering, bugs, and any add-on operations management for galaxy being developed, etc.
Would love to hear from others operating Galaxy or in process of standing up a local deployment.
Thanks!
