Hello all,
We are now definitely 60% of the way (and possibly 80%) of the way to a pooled GOBLET organizational membership.
If you are interested, you can help push the GTN over the top.
Thanks,
Dave C

Hi Dave and GTN members,
this sounds like a very good opportunity. I would like to participate with 50€ if this helps us.
Thanks Dave and a interesting and challenging new year! Bjoern
I attended the annual GOBLET meeting in November. GOBLET ( http://mygoblet.org/) is a global organization focused on bioinformatics training. Their goals largely mirror (and predate) the goals of the Galaxy Training Network (GTN, https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Teach). I was impressed with the group.
I was about to submit my individual membership for 2015, and it occurred to me that by pooling individual memberships, we might be able to get an organizational membership for GTN. That is, if 5 of us were interested in joining, we might be able to pool those into a single Bronze membership. Individual memberships are €50/year and Bronze are €250. As an annual membership, we would need to find 5 people every year.
A Bronze membership gets us a place for the GTN in GOBLET, and a vote in GOBLET issues (as an individual member I don't get a vote). It also raises the visibility of both GTN and GOBLET.
This would only make sense if at least 5 of us, who aren't already organizational members, were interested in joining as individuals anyway.
What do people think? Discussion and "yes I'm willing to contribute € to a pooled membership" emails are welcome.
Thanks,
Dave C
