Hello all, *Introductions and limit?* Please Welcome Sonika Tyagi, Monash University, Melbourne Harpreet Singh, Head of Bioinformatics, HMV Jalandhar, Punjab To the Galaxy India planning group. I will let them introduce themselves (I have known Sonika electronically for 3 years, but I don't think I have ever met either of them in person. And that puts us at 8 people on 4 continents, 6 of us with ties to India, and two of us from the core Galaxy Project. *I suggest that 8 is a good number for this core group and that we resist further increasing our size beyond that.* And, I encourage everyone to introduce themselves as well. I'll start. I help coordinate training and outreach for the Galaxy Project, and have been doing this for 8 years. Before that I did the same for the GMOD Project. I'm a computer person by training, and I first stumbled into bioinformatics in 2000. *I have no particular knowledge of India.* https://galaxyproject.org/people/dave-clements/ Now, I'll try to summarize what's been going on. (Please add in whatever I forget.) *Online Community First* We are planning to start as an online community first, with a Twitter account (got it), mailing list (probably this one after we clear out these early emails), and a Gitter channel (easy).

Dear Dave, Thanks for the excellent summary of whats going on and we plan to do. I and Pratik just had a very long call on the two aspects you mentioned - *Events and Funding* We are planning to harness platforms like EMBO for organizing a workshop around Big Data Analytics in Healthcare. One of the core components of Big Data is the reproducibility of methods and that's why they need for workflow systems like Galaxy. I personally don't think that EMBO will provide funding for a Galaxy focussed event but may for something like this with a broader impact. We can include one day during the workshop on providing training on Galaxy to the participants and also launch Galaxy India. In addition, we may advertise for proposals where researchers may like to migrate their applications to Galaxy platform and work with them before the workshop so that we can launch at least two case studies during the event. One of the last points was the publication of these workflows by reputed publication houses. I am in touch with some of them and will disclose more details when there is any confirmation from their side. Pratik had several ideas on how to ensure the sustainability of galaxy.in and will update us shortly. We are looking forward to inputs and feedback from our new members on how to proceed further and any guidance/collaboration in this regards is very much appreciated. Have a nice weekend Regards, Anshu On Fri, Aug 30, 2019 at 7:57 AM Dave Clements <clements@galaxyproject.org> wrote:

Thanks Dave and Anshu for the summary, Welcome Sonika and Harpreet! Here are a few points to add to Anshu's summary of our discussion.
One of the core components of Big Data is the reproducibility of methods and that's why they need for workflow systems like Galaxy.
Focus on workflow systems is a great idea. We should continue discussion about writing up a grant.
Pratik had several ideas on how to ensure the sustainability of galaxy.in and will update us shortly.
Apart from the EMBO application, I was wondering if we can apply for the ASM Conference grant <https://asm.org/Fellowships/ASM-Conference-Grant?utm_source=conferencegrant-october-launch08262019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=coonferencegrantprogram> that is due by October 1st. We might have to invite a few American researchers but we can have IMTech as the venue. I will work with Anshu and rest of the team on this. Researchers in India ((IIT Mumbai, and Tata Memorial Centre) have joined the International Cancer Proteogenome Consortium <https://proteomics.cancer.gov/programs/international-cancer-proteogenome-consortium>. As part of our proteogenomics efforts, we can reach out to the researchers at IIT Mumbai and see if there are opportunities for funding for Galaxy India. I have been invited to give a talk on proteogenomics in December this year. I can pitch in about our workflows and upcoming Galaxy India initiative. Thirdly, I was wondering if we can have an online meeting to discuss these ideas. I can also meet those who are available in New Delhi in December this year.

Dear Dave Clements, Thanks for adding me in this mailing list. Thanks Pratik for welcome. I agree with Anshu and Pratik for their plans of launching Galaxy India community and it's further expansion. I had an opportunity to personally meet Anshu at IMTECH a couple of years ago. As IMTECH is relatively close to Jalandhar, I can easily help Anshu in implementing her plans and events related to GALAXY project. In fact we may also plan some workshop at my college in Jalandhar in the future. I am also a board member (Treasurer) of Bioclues.org society, who has around 3000 members and a very large outreach among Indian Bioinformatics community. From last few years we have been conducting a brand conference series called Indian Conference on Bioinformatics (Inbix). Third edition of Inbox is planned at Shillong, North East of India in April 16-18, 2020. In my point of view this conference (Inbix) can be used as a very good platform to promote GALAXY Project. Also, if it suits to our plans, we can collaborate with Bioclues.org to make a very significant impact of GALAXY project in India. looking forward to meet during INCOB19 at Jakarta.

Hello Galaxy India Team, I am planning to visit India around the first week of December. I was wondering if we can meet (in person in Delhi / Chandigarh on 5th or 6th of December OR online) to discuss future plans. Anshu might be in India at that time and she has kindly agreed to organize a talk at IMTech, Chandigarh on December 5th or 6th. During the India visit, I have also requested a meeting with a researcher at ARI, Pune for an applied Microbiology project that might need the use of Galaxy. I have also requested a meeting with the researcher at Mumbai IIT for their plans for proteogenomics projects. I think for both these projects workflows hosted on Galaxy India server will be greatly useful. This will also bring in funding for the Galaxy India project. I am still finalizing my schedule but will keep you updated as plans are finalized. Waiting to hear from you.

Hello All, Great to see some developments and new inclusions. As of now I'm more concentrating in getting an infrastructure for Galaxy India server. As of now trying to contribute to the training network of Galaxy. It could be possible that I could visit India next month and would also try to meet potential infrastructure providers. As of now nothing is concrete and trying to gather resources. Probably our first target could be provide infrastructure for the training sessions which is going to be provided by Anshu and Pratik. Would like to talk to you both during next week.

Hello Kiran, I agree that infrastructure is an important part of the Galaxy India initiative. Although, in my opinion. it would be okay to initiate discussions with potential projects while mentioning the upcoming server plans. Looking forward to discuss with you next week.

Hello All,
Great to see some developments and new inclusions. As of now I'm more concentrating in getting an infrastructure for Galaxy India server. As of now trying to contribute to the training network of Galaxy. It could be possible that I could visit India next month and would also try to meet potential infrastructure providers. As of now nothing is concrete and trying to gather resources.
Probably our first target could be provide infrastructure for the training sessions which is going to be provided by Anshu and Pratik. Would like to talk to you both during next week.

Hello Galaxy India Team,
I am planning to visit India around the first week of December. I was wondering if we can meet (in person in Delhi / Chandigarh on 5th or 6th of December OR online) to discuss future plans. Anshu might be in India at that time and she has kindly agreed to organize a talk at IMTech, Chandigarh on December 5th or 6th.
During the India visit, I have also requested a meeting with a researcher at ARI, Pune for an applied Microbiology project that might need the use of Galaxy. I have also requested a meeting with the researcher at Mumbai IIT for their plans for proteogenomics projects. I think for both these projects workflows hosted on Galaxy India server will be greatly useful. This will also bring in funding for the Galaxy India project.
I am still finalizing my schedule but will keep you updated as plans are finalized.
Waiting to hear from you.
With Regards, Pratik

Dear Dave Clements, Thanks for adding me in this mailing list. Thanks Pratik for welcome. I agree with Anshu and Pratik for their plans of launching Galaxy India community and it's further expansion. I had an opportunity to personally meet Anshu at IMTECH a couple of years ago. As IMTECH is relatively close to Jalandhar, I can easily help Anshu in implementing her plans and events related to GALAXY project. In fact we may also plan some workshop at my college in Jalandhar in the future.
I am also a board member (Treasurer) of Bioclues.org society, who has around 3000 members and a very large outreach among Indian Bioinformatics community. From last few years we have been conducting a brand conference series called Indian Conference on Bioinformatics (Inbix). Third edition of Inbox is planned at Shillong, North East of India in April 16-18, 2020. In my point of view this conference (Inbix) can be used as a very good platform to promote GALAXY Project. Also, if it suits to our plans, we can collaborate with Bioclues.org to make a very significant impact of GALAXY project in India.
looking forward to meet during INCOB19 at Jakarta.
Thanks & Best Regards, Harpreet Singh

Hello all,
*Introductions and limit?* Please Welcome Sonika Tyagi, Monash University, Melbourne Harpreet Singh, Head of Bioinformatics, HMV Jalandhar, Punjab
To the Galaxy India planning group. I will let them introduce themselves (I have known Sonika electronically for 3 years, but I don't think I have ever met either of them in person.
And that puts us at 8 people on 4 continents, 6 of us with ties to India, and two of us from the core Galaxy Project. *I suggest that 8 is a good number for this core group and that we resist further increasing our size beyond that.*
And, I encourage everyone to introduce themselves as well. I'll start.
I help coordinate training and outreach for the Galaxy Project, and have been doing this for 8 years. Before that I did the same for the GMOD Project. I'm a computer person by training, and I first stumbled into bioinformatics in 2000. *I have no particular knowledge of India.* https://galaxyproject.org/people/dave-clements/
Now, I'll try to summarize what's been going on. (Please add in whatever I forget.)
*Online Community First* We are planning to start as an online community first, with a Twitter account (got it), mailing list (probably this one after we clear out these early emails), and a Gitter channel (easy). We have not decided when to launch / announce all this.
*Connections* Anshu Bhardwaj (OSDD + more) has suggested linking any training with the Skills India Program, and coordinating any launch we did with Nature India.
*Events Next* Anshu and Pratik Jagtap (Galaxy-P + more) have been discussing a possible workshop-meeting in India in 2020, possibly at CSIR-IMTECH, and possibly focusing on proteomics. We also have Glory Basumata at IIT Guwahati, so that may be an option too. This event (or events) may be a good opportunity / time to launch the community. We could also launch a training program and/or coordinate training efforts in India.
*Funding And Stability* Funding assures that this effort continues, and that someone somewhere is being paid to coordinate things. I don't know anything about funding in India, but you all do. :-)
In the short term, Mo Heydarian (Galaxy + more) and I can probably convince our funders to support participant scholarships for any events. We can also try valiantly to get a Galaxy PI to a launch event (but we can't guarantee it).
No matter what the funding picture is, Mo and I will provide maximum promotion, just like we do now for other communities
*Platform?* In the long term we may want to support a UseGalaxy.in platform. Kiran Telukunta (U Freiburg + more) already owns the URL. :-) I argue that this should be pursued last as it will need funding, maintenance, and staff.
Harpreet might be coming to INCOB where we will be discussing how to build regional communities.* So this goal may end up moving faster than I expect it to.
And, as always I have typed too much.
Cheers everyone, Dave C
* Out breakout proposal was approved by INCOB. We may very well succeed in starting an international regional community at INCOB.
