We had our first meeting for 2023 earlier.

It was nice to talk and get updates from people there!

If you could not join, you can still share updates and requests in our rolling minutes.

Few things we discussed and I want to raise to everyone.

TLDR (see details below): Before February 23th

Review the draft for the page on Galaxy Hub, comment, add anything missing (in particular projects, etc)
Add your name and information if you want to participate in the Paper working group
Add your name and information if you want to participate in the Tool working group
Let me know or add your information on the top of our rolling minutes if you want to give a talk during our next meeting on April 13th, 3-5pm UTC

Page on the Galaxy Hub

We would like to create a page on the Galaxy Hub (https://galaxyproject.org/) presenting the effort of the community.

We started a draft for such page with the idea is to collect available tools, workflows, and training but also use cases/applications, projects, publications, etc.

I would like to publish it on the Hub in the next month.

Please review the draft, add anything missing (in particular projects, etc) before February 23th.

This page could be later use as template for other community of practice

Using this page as start, we also would to write paper(s?) to

Advertise about microbial data analysis in Galaxy
Know about more uses of Galaxy for microbial data analysis
Aggregate information about resources and infrastructure available
Have a project to work together on as a community

To make that happening, we would like to start a working group that will meet regularly.

If you are interested, add your name and information in this document before February 23th.

I will then contact interested people to organise a first meeting.

Curated list of tools

Available tools and their metadata are automatically extracted from different GitHub repositories using a script I wrote.

We discussed today about starting a working group to continue the work on that.

If you are interested in joining the effort, add your name and information in this document before February 23th.

Our next meeting is planned for April 13th, 3-5pm UTC (see your timezone)

If you would like to give a short talk, let me know or add your information on the top of our rolling minutes.

Thanks for reading through this long email :)

Best,
