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

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

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.
Best
Celia

Dear ISCB Education Committee Members:
The International Society for Computational Biology is working to
facilitate the offering of bioinformatics and computational biology
tutorials at the meetings of other professional societies.
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.
Best regards,
Lonnie Welch
Vice Chair of the ISCB Education Committee

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?
Thanks,
Dave C
