Hi All, Forwarding from GOBLET. Dave C ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eija Korpelainen <eija.korpelainen(a)csc.fi> Date: Thu, Mar 24, 2016 at 7:31 AM Subject: Workshop "Using clouds and VMs in bioinformatics training", 23.-25.5 Finland To: Training-coordinators(a)elixir-europe.org, training(a)elixir-europe.org Cc: Timothy Stitt <timothy.stitt(a)tgac.ac.uk>, all(a)mygoblet.org Dear all, Please note that registration is now open for the Train-the-trainer workshop "Using clouds and VMs in bioinformatics training", which takes place at CSC in Finland 23.-25.5. This workshop introduces several cloud platforms from different countries, and bioinformatics trainers will gain hands-on experience in running VM images and Docker containers in them. The dialogue with bioinformatics trainers also allows infrastructure providers to gain valuable knowledge on the special needs that bioinformatics training poses. For more information about the program and practicalities, please see https://www.csc.fi/web/training/-/cloud-vm-bioinformatics The workshop is open for any bioinformatics trainer, so please feel free to distribute the information in your country. Places are filled in registration order and the registration can close earlier than 1.5.2016 if the workshop gets full. Should you have any questions regarding the workshop, please don't hesitate to contact me. Wishing you a chocolateful Easter, Eija Eija Korpelainen, Ph.D Product Manager, ELIXIR-FI training coordinator Application services, Bioinformatics CSC - IT Centre for Science P.O.Box 405 02101 Espoo, Finland Phone +358 50 381 9726 -- http://galaxyproject.org/ http://getgalaxy.org/ http://usegalaxy.org/ https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/

Fwd: Invitation from ISCB education committee related to tutorial topics
by Dave Clements 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi All, The latest email from GOBLET. ISCB is looking to compile a list of "bioinformatics and computational biology tutorials at the meetings of other professional societies." See below if you have anything to add. Cheers, Dave C ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <Celia.vanGelder(a)radboudumc.nl> Date: Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 10:42 PM Subject: Invitation from ISCB education committee related to tutorial topics To: all(a)mygoblet.org Dear all As member of the ISCB Education Committee I received the invitation below. Please spread this to people in your organization who would want to send a proposal. In addition, with our GOBLET hat on, I am sure we want to send in some of the topics we are working on together right now, and we can then brand them as GOBLET. Since this list is intended as tutorials for the meetings of other professional societies (e.g. life science, biology conferences ) I think it could be a very good route to bring our materials to the those communit ies. It is a channel that could be very useful for GOBLET.

We are putting together a list of tutorial topics to share with the other societies. I invite you to send brief descriptions of tutorials that you’d be willing to offer in the general area of bioinformatics and computational biology education and training across the life sciences, including bioinformatics education and training resources and experiences; development of education programs, courses, & curricula; and teaching tools & methods.

Re: [gxy-train] GOBLET/Elixir thematic hackaton for metagenomics training materials re-use | 6-8 April 2016

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?
