Hello all,The call for GCC2016 training topic nominations just went out. Many of you would make great GCC2016 training topic presenters so please give this some thought. Nominations close on October 16.Something new this year is that we will have two full days of multi-track training. This gives us much more flexibility than in previous years. In particular we are open to proposals that span more than one session. We've always been open to complementary/coordinated multi-topic nominations. For example, The Tool related topics have been coordinated every year (I think).Please post any questions to me or the list (if it's a question everyone would benefit from, then the list is preferred).Thanks for everything,Dave C---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: GCC2016 Training Day Topic Nominations are now open
To: Galaxy Announcements List <galaxy-announce@lists.galaxyproject.org>, Galaxy Dev List <galaxy-dev@lists.galaxyproject.org>Hello all,The 2016 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2016) features two full days of training on June 26-27. Each day will have multiple tracks, with each track featuring several sessions throughout the day. GCC2016 will be held at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, United States.
GCC2016 Training topics are nominated by you, the Galaxy Community. Please give some thought to what topics you would like to see offered, or that you would like to offer, and then submit them as topic nominations. Any topic of interest to the Galaxy Community can be nominated and you are encouraged to nominate more than one topic. If you are looking for ideas, see
The Galaxy Events page, which lists what training the community is offering outside of GCCs.
Topics that have already been nominated for GCC2016
Nominated topics will be published as they come in. Topic nomination closes Friday, October, 16.. Topics will be compiled into a uniform list by the GCC2016 Organizing Committee, and topics will be voted on by the Galaxy Community from October 26 through November 6.
Topics will then be selected and scheduled based on topic interest, and the organisers' ability to confirm instructors for each session. Some very popular sessions may be scheduled more than once. The final schedule will be posted before registration opens.
Looking forward to a stellar set of nominations, and hoping to see you in Bloomington,
----
