Hello all,

*We are delighted to announce that the Galaxy Training Network (GTN) https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Teach/GTN has officially joined the Global Organisation for Bioinformatics & Training (GOBLET) http://mygoblet.org/.*

GTN is a network of people and groups that present Galaxy and Galaxy-based training around the world. GOBLET provides "a global, sustainable support and networking structure for bioinformatics educators/trainers and students/trainees (including a training portal for sharing materials, tools, tips and techniques; guidelines and best practice documents; facilities to help train the trainers; and offering different learning pathways for different types of learner)."

GTN's GOBLET membership will raise the visibility of Galaxy, Galaxy training https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Teach/Resources, and Galaxy Trainers https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Teach/Trainers in the bioinformatics community, and help make the Galaxy Community aware of what GOBLET and its members have to offer.

This membership was made possible by a unique arrangement where these five GTN members https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Teach/Trainers each contributed 20% of the cost of a Bronze Organizational Membership:

-

Hans-Rudolf Hotz https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/HansrudolfHotz, Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI) http://www.fmi.ch/, Switzerland -

Björn Grüning https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/BjoernGruening, University of Freiburg http://www.uni-freiburg.de/, Germany -

Mark Crowe http://www.qfab.org/mark-crowe/, QFAB http://www.qfab.org/, Australia -

UC Davis Bioinformatics Core Training Program http://training.bioinformatics.ucdavis.edu/, United States -

Galaxy Project http://galaxyproject.org/, United States

Many thanks to these GTN members for making this happen, and to the GOBLET Executive for this opportunity.
