August 2019 - Galaxy-India - lists.galaxyproject.org

by Dave Clements

Hi All, One of the people I contacted about a Galaxy Australia / Asia / Pacific community and platform was Sonika Tyagi <https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=ysfbgQsAAAAJ&view_op=list...>, of Monash University in Melbourne. Sonika has been involved in Galaxy for a while and has done workshops in India. She was involved in planning the Galaxy AustralAsia Meeting in 2017. Sonika can't make it to INCOB next month, *but she is interested in the efforts of this group, and would like to be included in discussions.* Sonika also suggested contacting Dr Harpreet Singh, Head of Bioinformatics at HMV Jalandhar, Punjab, about INCOB *and about this group.* What do people think? Should we bring In Sonika? Should we bring in Dr Singh? I'll contact Dr. Singh about INCOB shortly, but I won't mention Galaxy India, unless this group tells me to. Thanks all, Dave C -- https://galaxyproject.org/

Logos & Colors

by Kiran K Telukunta

Hi All, Trying again to the lists, hope it reaches all. Yes, as of now going back to original Galaxy colours as of now better. As of now the information I got is not to use. But would be good idea to use it at some point with flag colors. Just trying to separate issues so that we can respond easily on the topics.

Gitter

by Kiran K Telukunta

Hello All, Gitter would be required probably once we are around 10 or 15 until then mailing list should be fine. As of now I'm not sure if all the initial mail members are receiving through mailing list or not.

usegalaxy.in domain

by Kiran K Telukunta

Hello uGins, I actually hold the usegalaxy.in domain, so it is secured. And it would be great if we can host Galaxy-P workshop at in.usegalaxy.org as usegalaxy.in for training. We should list out which areas of training would be interesting at that moment. However, initially I agree training and gathering users of Galaxy would be priority compared to the platform itself. Regards, *________________* Dr. Kiran K Telukunta m: +4917663301886 e: Kiran.Telukunta(a)IndiaYouth.info Social links: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/kiran-k-telukunta-5455525/> <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Kiran_Kumar_Telukunta> <https://gitlab.com/telukir> <https://github.com/telukir> Please do not print this email unless it is necessary.

Fwd: Galaxy India Community

by Kiran K Telukunta

Just forwarding my previous email here. *________________* Dr. Kiran K Telukunta m: +4917663301886 e: Kiran.Telukunta(a)IndiaYouth.info Social links: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/kiran-k-telukunta-5455525/> <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Kiran_Kumar_Telukunta> <https://gitlab.com/telukir> <https://github.com/telukir> Please do not print this email unless it is necessary. Every unprinted email helps the environment. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kiran K Telukunta <kiran.telukunta(a)indiayouth.info> Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2019 at 08:23 Subject: Re: Galaxy India Community To: Dave Clements <clements(a)galaxyproject.org> Cc: Pratik Jagtap <pjagtap(a)umn.edu>, Glory Basumata < glorybasumata(a)hotmail.com>, Anshu Bhardwaj <anshub(a)osdd.net>, Mo Heydarian < mheydarian(a)gmail.com> Hi Dave, Thanks for the initiatives. - About the twitter GxyIndia is really fine and it could be possible that galaxy_bharat could get more attention in future. Probably we can keep both as of now. So as of now please continue GxyIndia if we want we can also switch to galaxy_bharat or keep both of them. I have registered galaxy_bharat and ready to give it to others if required, just registered in case if we want to change it. Or it can be incorporated into tweetdeck. So please add @galaxy_bharat and also @telukir . Graphics looks fine. We need to answer ourselves following questions to use the colours: - If we are using colours for commercial purposes? If not then it is fine. According to my understanding useGalaxy don't have commercial purpose. However, to run the useGalaxy some money is required and collecting such money will be commercial purpose or not, it is not completely clear. This text could help us a bit: Please note that as per the provisions of Section 3 of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950, any colourable imitation of an “emblem” when used for the purpose of any trade, business, calling or profession, or in the title of any patent, or in any trade mark or design, without previous permission of the Central Govt. or its authorised officer is prohibited and the penalty for its violation is prescribed under Section 5 as a fine of up to ₹ 5000. The word “emblem” includes the “Indian National Flag” as defined in Section 2 read with the Schedule to the said Act. Thus, a colourable imitation of the Indian National Flag cannot be used in logo for a business without prior permission of the Central Government or its authorised officer. This appears to be the legal position. - As of now it is completely clear if we can use the colours, but the graphic is not offensive but probably we need permission. I'll get to know more about this, probably until then it is better not to use. I'll update soon on this. - Yes, for the list would be better to have one person as admin rather than multiple persons, if required we can make more admins but initially it is not required - Yes, I'm fine with Github. But if any of you just want to put the text into the document we can use this Google Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jbhSU2M0be06s3U5PMaNyTlvQauqYNAzzp_v8...> later I/Dave can put into the github. - Yes, having gitter channel would be very helpful. I would like to host the usegalaxy.in in small scale because to talk with people about it, it has to exist and that gives more motivation towards it. I'm actively looking for short term small scale hosting options. Please let me know if any of you can provide the hosting space. I could try to get this ready for the Galaxy-P 2020 workshop and according to the workshop requirements. Which would be a kind of starting point UseGalaxy instance.
