Hi all,
I hope you are doing well.
We started a draft for an abstract for a poster at GCC on our community, microGalaxy
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b-ZspQMWnEpZJzuoAs6TJQExW66xhpzIQHrENpC…
GCC 2024 - microGalaxy

If you want to be involved there, please have a look at this abstract, make suggestions, and add yourself as author before April, 11th.
I will submit it on April 12th.
Thank you!

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 :)

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

Hi all,
In the paper WG meeting yesterday, we discussed about the 2 papers we would like to write in the next months
You can find below a quick description about the aims and timelines for both and more details in the paper WG notes <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uVQ8E_8HpIuHDYHwR82jU8pCvj0tnebFKyS0juA…>.
If you are interested in contributing actively in any or both papers, let us know either by answering this email or adding your name in the paper WG notes <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uVQ8E_8HpIuHDYHwR82jU8pCvj0tnebFKyS0juA…> on page 2 and 3
We will after that organise separate meetings for each paper.
Best,
Bérénice

Write a 1st draft of the paper
Write the summary
Make a nice looking subdomain microgalaxy.usegalaxy.eu with links to workflows and training and selection of tools
January
Finalize the draft
Submit the manuscript
Dear all members and friends on the microGalaxy Community.
Bérénice, Engy and me just submitted the one-page summary for the technical
manuscript to the NAR web server issue. Thank you all for your contribution
and support ! It is very convincing, and we are confident, that it will be
accepted.
If accepted, we got one month to write the actual manuscript. Therefore, we
should meet early in January to discuss the structure, figures, and
responsibilities. You can still become an author if you would like to
contribute. Please fill out the doodle
https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/eEZYkLga, and I will set a
meeting after the Christmas break, preferably early in January.
Also, thank you all very much for contributing your workflows! For the
manuscript, those must be listed on the microGalaxy subdomain, so if you
have not done so, we ask again to please make them visible by importing
them to usegalaxy.eu, usegalaxy.org, or usegalaxy.org.au; make them public
and tag them with #microgalaxy, so they will be displayed on the dedicated
subdomain: https://microgalaxy.usegalaxy.eu/
Thank for all for your help, have a great and relaxed Christmas, and
looking forward to meeting you next year!
Best,
Paul

Hi all,
I hope you are doing well.
As stated in the last announcement, we plan to write a NAR web server issue
which will give an overview of the resources (tools, workflow, training,
etc) available for microbial data analysis in Galaxy.
We wrote a first draft of the one-page summary and cover letter for the NAR
web server issue, which needs to be submitted by December 15th. We would highly
welcome feedback and comments on this, so please feel free to contact me if
you could help and contribute, and I will add you to the document.
Thank you !! all for the great selection of workflows and tutorials you
provided in the sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11Z1yXtS4GTER3QCyAIRqWupr5e43YFFKeMk…
Feel free to add more workflows or tutorials (not only on the GTN) you
worked on that are related to microbial data, we will try to collect as
many as we can until submission.
Please also help to make them visible by importing them to usegalaxy.eu,
usegalaxy.org, or usegalaxy.org.au; make them public and tag them with
#microgalaxy, so they will be displayed on the dedicated subdomain:
https://microgalaxy.usegalaxy.eu/
The same tag can be used for GTN tutorials.
Assuming that we will be allowed to submit the paper; I would propose to
meet early next year to discuss who wants to contribute and how to divide
the work. Please fill out the doodle to find a good time for the next
meeting https://doodle.com/bp/paulzierep/next-microgalaxy-paper-wg.
Thanks for your help, and looking forward to meeting you next year!
Best,
Paul

Hi all,
I hope you are doing well.
As some of you know, we plan to write a paper for the NAR webserver issue which will give an overview of the resources (tools, workflow, training, etc) available for microbial data analysis in Galaxy.
We started to work on the tool aspect and generated an interactive table listing 200+ tools: http://galaxyproject.github.io/galaxy_tool_extractor/microgalaxy/
Now, we would like to have an overview of the workflows and also tutorials available.
For that, we started a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11Z1yXtS4GTER3QCyAIRqWupr5e43YFFKeMk…
It would be great if you could add before November 20th in the spreadsheet any workflows or tutorial (not only on the GTN) you worked on that are related to microbial data
Once we have them, we will make the workflows available on usegalaxy.eu, tag them with #microgalaxy so they will be displayed on the dedicated subdomain: https://microgalaxy.usegalaxy.eu/
If your workflow is available on usegalaxy.eu, usegalaxy.org, or usegalaxy.org.au, please add the #microgalaxy tag to it and they will be automatically visible in the subdomain
And we will do the same for the tutorials.
We will then start writing the manuscript and submit the 1 page by December 15th.
Thanks for your help there,
Best,
Bérénice
