Dear training enthusiast,
We have started to work on an unification of the Galaxy training
material as discussed during the GCC 2016.
As a first example we have chosen our Exome-Seq tutorial and have ported
it over to give a real world example of how we imagine the next
generation of Galaxy training looks like. Look by yourself:
https://github.com/bgruening/training-material/tree/master/Exome-Seq
A few highlights:
* Slides are written in reveal.js
With this we can create slides in Markdown, which is convenient to write
and to share/improve with GitHub. PDFs can be automatically generated
and we plan to do this automatically via Travis CI. Moreover these
slides can be viewed with every Web browser, so you can watch them while
you are exploring our training material, without downloading anything.
An example can be found here:
http://bgruening.github.io/training-material/Exome-Seq/slides/index.html
A reveal.js template is available
(http://bgruening.github.io/training-material/shared/slide_template/index.ht…)
to get started, with on the first slide the GTN logo and some
instructions how to use the presentation.
* Docker container for the training
We want to make Galaxy training scale. This means every trainer should
be able to get a training instance with all tools, reference datasets,
example input datasets up and running in minutes. For this, every
training will have a versioned Docker container which can be easily
deployed on clusters, clouds or laptops. Naturally, these training
instances are available for everyone at any time, so they can used by
the trained people to redo the workshop and then consolidate the learned
techniques.
* Galaxy tours!
Every training should offer an interactive Galaxy tour. This is
especially useful if someone wants to train herself. The interactive
Galaxy tour will be in the Docker container. Hence someone using the
Docker container can start the interactive tour and follows
interactively the instructions.
* Persistence and citability of the training data
All the training data on which your training is based should be
persistent and citable. For this we recommend to upload the datasets on
Zenodo (in Galaxy training network community). A DOI associated to these
datasets will be generated. The datasets can then be downloaded into the
Docker container and reused everywhere.
* Landing page
An initial landing page is generated automatically from the general
README file: http://bgruening.github.io/training-material
Some broader plans we have and we need your comments and help!
* We would like (and we started) to migrate the other training material
in a similar fashion than the Exom-Seq. To get an idea of the current
and needed work, check the open PRs on
https://github.com/bgruening/training-material/
* We are planning a contribution-fest to consolidate our training
material and improve the overall training experience in Galaxy on the
6.-7th October 2016! We will send an invitation to GOBELT and see if
someone from them are also interested.
* We would like to have the material for RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, MethylC-Seq
and Genome Annotation updated by the end of this year.
* We would like to write about this effort a small manuscript to attract
more people and to announce the new capabilities of Galaxy training
(tours, self-containing training with Docker …).
We will keep a ToDo and discussion list on GitHub under the following
URL: https://github.com/bgruening/training-material/issues
Please contribute to these discussions and help make Galaxy training
outstanding in Bioinformatics!
Please let us know what you think!
Bérénice and Bjoern

Hello all,
This is a request to please help get the word out about the upcoming Galaxy
Admin Training event in Salt Lake.
Please consider forwarding this announcement to any individuals or groups
that might be interested.
Thanks,
Dave C.
The Galaxy Admin Training workshop
<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016> will be held
November 7-11 in Salt Lake City, Utah, the week before Supercomputing’16
<http://sc16.supercomputing.org/> also meets in Salt Lake. The workshop
offers Basic
<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/BasicsSession> and
Advanced
<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/AdvancedSession>
sessions.
Galaxy <https://galaxyproject.org/> is an open web based platform for
biomedical data integration and analysis. It is deployed at large and small
organizations around the world and used in a broad range of biomedical
research domains, and across the tree of life. Galaxy enables life science
researchers to perform their own data analysis without having to learn
command line interfaces or Linux package management. Galaxy transparently
records all analysis steps and eases workflow reuse and sharing. If your
organization is looking for how to empower your researchers, then please
consider attending one or both sessions.
Participants will learn how to install, configure, customize, and extend
their own Galaxy servers. Topics include tool configuration, authentication
and user management, using heterogeneous storage and compute services, and
many other topics that will enable you to get your own Galaxy server up and
running, performing well, and used by your community.
Registration
<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/Registration> is
now open, but space is limited. *Early registration ends September 19*.
Participants can register for one or both sessions. Please review each
session’s prerequisites before registering.
Galaxy Admin Training 2016 is hosted by the University of Utah Center for
High Performance Computing (CHPC) <http://www.chpc.utah.edu/>, the Department
of Biomedical Informatics <http://medicine.utah.edu/dbmi/> and the Clinical
& Translational Science Biomedical Informatics Core (CCTS BMIC)
<http://medicine.utah.edu/ccts/bmic/> at the University of Utah
<http://utah.edu/>.
We hope to see you in Salt Lake!
The Galaxy Team
PS: Please share this flier

To: members(a)mygoblet.org
Hi,
As many of you know, we will have a booth at ISMB 2016. If you are
attending ISMB, please stop by to see us.
We still have a few slots open for staffing the booth and to answer
questions of those who stop by. Most slots are taken but there are a few
left. If you have not yet signed up, please add your name to the Doodle
poll (http://doodle.com/poll/wx4bebtgbpzpe7wp) if you are available to help.
A few comments - Only 2 people can sign up for a time slot. The most
important time for coverage is the opening reception, poster sessions and
coffee breaks. Sunday night will be difficult because the poster session
overlaps with the ISCB Education Committee meeting. Also, Monday night is
the Education poster session, so that's a tough time for coverage as well.
Note that the full conference schedule and a mobile app are now available
from https://www.iscb.org/ismb2016.
Thanks for signing up! Looking forward to seeing you at ISMB.

Dear all
With apologies for the inevitable duplication caused by posting to multiple
lists, the abstract submission and registration deadlines for our exciting
new conference, 'Lifelong Learning in the Biomedical Sciences' , *will
close on 6 June 2016*. Please register now to avoid disappointment. We'd
also be immensely grateful if you could help to spread the word around your
own networks. Many thanks in advance for your help!

----------------------------------------
We all know that competent scientists, who are committed to staying at the
leading edge of developments in their field and constantly improving their
professional skills, are the underlying foundation of successful research
and development; yet research infrastructures and other research
organisations invest comparatively little time in developing their staff.
On behalf of the organising committee I am writing to cordially invite you
to attend the EMBL Conference on *Lifelong Learning in the Biomedical
Sciences*. This conference is a new international forum to bring together
the key influencers, policymakers, trainers and stakeholders from academia,
industry and the professional bodies who will shape and implement how
career-long continuing professional development is managed in the future.
It will encompass career-long continuing professional development for both
the academic and industry sectors. The conference will take place in
Heidelberg, Germany on 5-7 July 2016 (
www.embl.de/training/events/2016/LLL16-01).
Participating in this conference will provide you with:
- insight in the latest developments in education and training for
biomedical professionals
- an introduction to competency profiles as effective means to support
recruitment and retention of key staff
- means to empower your staff to manage their own continuing
professional development (CPD)
- opportunities to network with others with a passion for education and
training in the biomedical sciences
- a choice of interactive workshops to assist delegates to implement
continuing professional development practices in their organisations or
contribute to further discussions of conference topics
We invite you to submit your abstract and/or workshop proposal by *6 June
2016*. General registration is also open until *6 June 2016*. We are
looking forward to your registration and to seeing you in Heidelberg!
Best regards
Cath
