Dear Sarah and Gabry, I would like to confirm that the Galaxy Training Network is interested in participating in, and would like to send one or more people to this hackathon in April. We don't know who yet, but metagenomics is a key concern for the Galaxy community. (And we are holding a Metagenomics tools and workflows hack next week.) Do you need anything else from us at this time?

Hi All, There's an opening at Data Carpentry for an Associate Director "who is passionate about education and training and its ability to empower researchers to conduct data-driven research." (That could easily describe the Galaxy training community. :-) If you know anyone who might be interested, then please pass this along. Application review starts Dec 18. Cheers, Dave C ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tracy Teal <tkteal(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 3:51 PM Subject: [Discuss] Data Carpentry is hiring an Associate Director To: discuss(a)lists.software-carpentry.org Data Carpentry is hiring! http://www.datacarpentry.org/blog/associate-director-posting/ With the support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, we now have the opportunity to hire an Associate Director. The Associate Director is one of the two key roles providing leadership to Data Carpentry’s core efforts and is expected to shape the organization’s operational functioning, influence training, and contribute to strategic planning.
