GTN CoFest on Metagenomics Training Material (17th of August)
by Bérénice Batut 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hi all, We are starting a series of regular online CoFests, every 3 months on the 3rd Friday, for a day of the collaborative work on the training material. The first one will be on the 17th of August. We plan to focus on metagenomics training; but anyone who would like to contribute on any other topics is very welcome to join. We will coordinate via the GTN Gitter channel <https://gitter.im/Galaxy-Training-Network/Lobby> and GitHub issues. Saskia and me will be online between 9am and 6pm (CEST) but people from other time zones should feel welcome to continue even before/after. We will keep an eye on Gitter and GitHub If you want to join to help or to talk and learn about the project, let us know on the Gitter channel or on the dedicated GitHub issue <https://github.com/galaxyproject/training-material/issues/939>. Best, Bérénice Batut ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Post-doctoral researcher in Bioinformatics ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://bebatut.fr <http://bebatut.fr/>

19 Jul '18

Hi all, Over lunch of the 28th June 2018 (during GCC/BOSC), we organized a BoF (Birds of Feather) with around 20 persons. We covered quite a lot of ground over some main topics: Content, Infrastructure, Contribution, Feedback, Mentoring of trainers. Simon Gladman took notes: https://github.com/galaxyproject/training-material/issues/941 <https://github.com/galaxyproject/training-material/issues/941> (Thanks to him!) We would be happy to have your feedbacks on these discussions.

Best wishes, Terri -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Joy Davidson <joy.davidson(a)glasgow.ac.uk<mailto:joy.davidson@glasgow. ac.uk>> Subject: [rda-edu-ig] FOSTER - call for trainers to share their experiences in a book sprint Date: 2 August 2017 at 14:53:46 BST To: Education and Training on handling of research data IG < rda-edu-ig(a)rda-groups.org<mailto:rda-edu-ig@rda-groups.org>> Cc: "Brinken, Helene" <brinken(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de<mailto:brinken@sub.uni- goettingen.de>> Hi everyone, I wanted to share this pre-call for potential authors to a collaboratively author a handbook on Open Science training written by trainers for trainers. The call will go out more widely via the FOSTER website in September but I wanted to share it with members of this group in advance. The dates are still be finalised but it will likely take place the first or second week of February in Hanover, Germany. If you have any questions, please contact Helen Brinken (cc’d). All the best, Joy Call to Open Science trainers – share your experiences and help to write a book! Next February FOSTER will bring together Open Science trainers and educators to collaboratively author a training handbook. If you have practical experience in implementing Open Science training at your organisation we’d love to hear from you. What works, what doesn’t? How can you make the most of limited resources? With your help, we will create a handbook that equips future trainers with methods, instructions, exemplary training outlines and inspiration for their own Open Science trainings. The handbook will provide Open Science advocates across the globe with practical know-how to deliver Open Science principles to researchers and support staff. The handbook will be produced in a book sprint. You never have heard of that? This format will ensure a workshop environment in which a team of about 10 authors creates a finished book in four days collaboratively. Sounds crazy? Maybe, but let’s go for it! Join our writing adventure: Ten authors. Four days. One book. We are looking for people from diverse scientific backgrounds, with Open Science expertise (from general to discipline specific) and experience in developing and delivering Open Science training. So, if you would like to share your experiences and are motivated to be part of our team writing a handbook in just a few days, please apply using the form available at: https://goo.gl/forms/G6wwKMtKpuA00O9W2 < https://goo.gl/forms/G6wwKMtKpuA00O9W2> We will need information about your scientific background, your area of Open Science expertise, your training experience and of course your motivation to participate in our extraordinary writing adventure. The book sprint will take place in Germany. Your travel expenses will be co-funded by FOSTER. The call for expressions of interests will be open until Sunday, 1 October 2017. You will hear from us by late October 2017. Contact person If you have any questions or need clarifications, please contact Helene Brinken, University of Göttingen, State and University Library, brinken(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de<mailto:brinken@sub.uni-goettingen.de> <mailto: brinken(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de>.
