Hi all, We organize an Online Hackathon in March to improve the annotation of Galaxy resources for microbial data analysis and beyond: https://galaxyproject.org/events/2024-03-11-hackathon-galaxy-resources-anno… Objectives The objective of this hackathon is to improve the annotation of the Galaxy resources (tools, training, workflows) for microbial data analysis by: • Linking microbial Galaxy tools <https://galaxyproject.github.io/galaxy_tool_metadata_extractor/microgalaxy/> to bio.tools <http://bio.tools/> to obtain EDAM ontology annotation <https://edamontology.org/page> • Improving bio.tools annotations • Annotating existing microbial-related tutorials <https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/search2?query=microgal…> with EDAM terms • Reflecting on the addition of EDAM terms to workflows • Reflecting on missing terms in the EDAM ontology for microbial data analyses • Brainstorming about a way to connect tool annotations to improve training and workflow annotations All this work will be beneficial to structure the tools, workflows, and training we have to display them on the microGalaxy landing page <https://microgalaxy.usegalaxy.eu/>, structure the Galaxy tool panel, and create figures and tables for the technical paper <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uVQ8E_8HpIuHDYHwR82jU8pCvj0tnebFKyS0juA…> we are working on. General information • Date: March 11th - 15th 2024 (full week) • Location: Online with a • a Zoom room, open the whole week • 2 daily stand-ups to accommodate different time zones • Several brainstorming meetings • microGalaxy Matrix chat <https://matrix.to/#/%23galaxyproject_microGalaxy:gitter.im> for communication • Time: full day, 9/10am CET to open end • Cost: Free Preliminary Schedule The schedule is quite flexible. There is no requirement to join the whole week. See the event page for more details about the planned schedule (stand-ups, brainstorming meetings): https://galaxyproject.org/events/2024-03-11-hackathon-galaxy-resources-anno…. Participation To participate, add your name, your affiliation, your availability during the week, and your email in the "Participation" section of the organizational GDoc so we can include you in further communication: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B125dSKhB6AevnyShSi_zXIXUQd49tvNYfWHuyq… We hope to see a lot of you even if it is just to say hi :) Best, Paul and Bérénice

Dear all, I hope you are all doing fine! Here are some news about the microGalaxy community. *Next Community meeting* Next week, we will have a *Community meeting*, on *Thursday 8th October at 9am CET* (your timezone <https://arewemeetingyet.com/UTC/2024-02-08/08:00/microGalaxy>). - Meeting rolling minutes <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> - Zoom <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82453101719?pwd=NlJudHk1c0xqSC83eXM4bTM1YWJ2UT09> (Meeting ID: 824 5310 1719; Passcode: micro) During this meeting, we will mostly catch up with news from the community and talk about the next months. Unfortunately, we could not organize a dedicated speaker, but we had an idea that could be very useful for our planned publications and the overall organization of the community tools. To improve the annotation of microbial-related tools, we would like to organize an event where we as a community link bio.tools entries to the galaxy wrappers in order to improve their EDAM terms. We will explain the details and how everybody can participate during this call. I hope to see you around. Feel free to share the details about these meetings and this community with anyone that may be interested :) Best, Paul -- Dr. Paul Zierep Chair for Bioinformatics Department of Computer Science University of Freiburg Georges-Koehler-Allee 079, Room 1005a, D-79110 Freiburg, Germany E-mail: zierep(a)informatik.uni-freiburg.de <erxleben(a)informatik.uni-freiburg.de> Tel. 0049 761 203 54129 European Galaxy Team https://galaxyproject.eu https://usegalaxy.eu
