Hello all,

This is a final reminder that the *deadline for submitting an oral presentation abstract is this 12 April, this Friday*. See http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Abstracts

The poster presentation abstract deadline is 3 May.

And in case you missed the announcement about GIgaScience and GCC2013 talks:

We are pleased to announce that talks presented at the 2013 Galaxy Community conference will be eligible for consideration to be published in the journal *GigaScience http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/* and that BGIhttp://www.genomics.cn/en/indexwill generously cover the article processing fees for these articles. See the announcement http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/News/GigaScienceGalaxyCFPfor details.

Thanks,

Dear Galaxy Community,

We are pleased to announce that early registrationhttp://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Register and paper and poster abstract submissionhttp://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Abstracts are now open for the 2013 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2013)http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013 . GCC2013 will be held 30 June through July 2 in Oslo Norway, at the University of Oslo http://uio.no/.

GCC2013 http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013 is an opportunity to participate in two full days of presentations, discussions, poster sessions, keynotes, lightning talks and breakouts, all about high-throughput biology and the tools that support it. The conference also includes a Training Dayhttp://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/TrainingDay for the second year in a row, this year with more in-depth topic coverage, more concurrent sessions, and more topics.

If you are a biologist or bioinformatician performing or enabling high-throughput biological research, then please consider attending. GCC2013 is aimed at:

• Bioinformatics tool developers and data providers
• Workflow developers and power bioinformatics users
• Sequencing and Bioinformatics core staff
• Data archival and analysis reproducibility specialists

*Early registrationhttp://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Register

• *saves up to 75% off regular registration costs,* and is very

affordable, with combined registration (Training Dayhttp://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/TrainingDay + main meeting) starting at ~ €95 for post-docs and students. Registering early also assures you a spot in the Training Day workshops you want to attend. Once a Training Day session becomes full, it will be closed to new registrations. Early registration closes 24 May.

*Abstract submissionhttp://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Abstracts

• for oral presentations closes 12 April, and for posters on 3 May.

Please consider presenting your work. If you are working with big biological data, then the people at this meeting want to hear about your work.

Thanks, and hope to see you in Oslo!
