Hello everyone! Today and tomorrow we will try to improve Galaxy tools to consume and create collections. You are welcome to join and contribute in any way. For example code contributions, not matter how small, but also in improving documentations and our [best-practice guide](https://github.com/galaxy-iuc/standards). If you have any questions, suggestions, bugs .... please get in touch with us on: * IRC (freenode) #galaxyproject * permanent hangout: https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/_/qm45a5itqh25uod7umceeyrrcua (not sure if this will scale) * our *Session I* hangout at @10AM EDT https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cnjf2mqg7vl6aigs5fkai6dh4rk I would also like to start a proper documentation about collections and collect tips in a document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UanoJvhaM2r8kN_onHB5tmum1OMupThHXvuts2rz...) with the aim to move parts of it back into the tool documentation as well as the best-practice guide. Have a lot of fun! Bjoern Am 16.09.2015 um 19:03 schrieb John Chilton:

Hello All,

This is just a reminder that the Galaxy Tools and Collections Remote Hackathon will be tomorrow Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th of September. More details can be found at:

https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/issues/239

This Github issue includes a big list of potential tasks to work on. In addition to this list, feel free to stop by IRC or our Google Hangout all day and get advice and help on updating your own existing tools to use collections effectively.

We will have a planning session Google hangout each morning at 10:00 EDT (GMT-04:00) and a wrap up session around 15:00 EDT. If can you can make it to the hangout at these times please stop by, but we will keep the Google hangout open all day.

The link for the Google event which includes a link to the Hangout session is:

In addition to the hangout I would encourage participants to join the #galaxyproject IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. More information at https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support/IRC.

Finally, this is supposed to be a fun, community building event. There are many different ways to help out including some that do not involve coding, any contribution no matter how small is appreciated. This is not competitive and there is no reason to work all night or to excess.
