⌚️GCB Meeting on September 9th

29 Aug '25

Hello 🪑GCB! Galaxy Community Board I hope you all had a chance to relax over the summer, but since I’m sure you’re all looking forward to the next GCB meeting, I wanted to remind you that it’s scheduled for the 9th of September (GCB Meeting - September - Are we meeting yet?<https://arewemeetingyet.com/London/2025-09-09/13:00/GCB%20Meeting%20-%20Sep…>) I’ll be taking over as chair of the Community Board now that Wendi has moved on to her new role at HDR-UK. Wendi has left me with plenty of templates and checklists to help keep the GCB organised and since she will still be my supervisor, she’ll get to hear about everything the community board is up to. Please let me know if there are any topics you would like to be added to the agenda for this or any future meetings. The purpose of the GCB is to make your lives easier as community leaders, so this is your chance to make sure we’re talking about what matters to you. I hope to see you then, Marisa Actions! ⭐Check out/add to our 📝meeting agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8A…> Next meeting 👋🏾GCB Meeting - September - Are we meeting yet?<https://arewemeetingyet.com/London/2025-09-09/13:00/GCB%20Meeting%20-%20Sep…> 🗓️Community Board Google Calendar<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=1&ctz=Europe%2FL…> 🗓️Community Board iCalendar<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/04046604a4f181649420da4335310d7a5…> Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87443808126?pwd=QjZ3TEJmSVBpdHgrQUQwOGkraFM2UT09 Meeting ID: 874 4380 8126 Passcode: nerdsunite [The Open University logo] Marisa Loach, Postgraduate Researcher Life, Health & Chemical Sciences open.ac.uk<http://www.open.ac.uk/> The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA

Between the development of so many new communities (Mass spec, Plants, Earth); the creation of the Community Building training page (https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/community/) the Subdomain unification, the Community Lightning talks pilot, and the Tips & Tricks we’ve shared - I think we’re making this a worthwhile Board for ourselves and each other. ☃️Have a glorious break❄️ !

📝Notes from June meeting
by Wendi.Bacon [She/Her] 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

Hello 🪑GCB! Galaxy Community Board At our last meeting in June, we discussed what we wanted to get from GCC and how we wanted to plan our time for the next year (📝Meeting notes<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8A…>). Key is collectively engaging with the governance structure to evoke change to benefit our communities. The Galaxy Executive Board is trialling a new ‘roadmap’ process to collect community needs to help direct long-term planning. We will therefore use our next meeting to engage with this. Or, in sum, bring your community needs!

[Sig-chairs] Meeting Notes - 28 Nov
by Wendi.Bacon [She/Her] 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

Hello Galaxy SiG/CoP Representatives! We had our first meeting and discussed a lot of stuff. We heard from Paul about a sweet tools widget & wordcloud generator, and then had an interesting discussion about how we use our Hub pages / exactly who they are aimed at… Tricky stuff! 📝Check the Meeting Notes doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8A…> to see everything we discussed. We ran out of time to agree on follow-up, so I’m going to just propose the following: Actions ⭐We identify what stuff is annoying<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8A…> / would make our lives easier (I’m hoping Nat W already has some data here!) This is also helpful as, if we have future meetings, I’d like to target audiences effectively - i.e. if a CoP doesn’t deal with users, having a discussion about user-pages isn’t useful for them, etc. ⭐ I have added four template docs to our 📁Folder of Googledocs<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/190O6bbfXQ7fX3kVUiObTUj4nKojGw8Cu?us…> for groups/people to edit / add ideas to / collaborate in advance of future meetings 👉🏾CoP Hub page template<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wXiCcZHwMEafb8DMT1LLZ84Mu-0tHPH71Vgec0u…> 👉🏾Post-meeting emails / reminder emails text<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SWdAyfSMhSvsD60wVXGTrrfdky2RWjzo56Cvjwj…> 👉🏾Subdomain page brainstorming / future template<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10-H-_R58jhW9BIxyJEv9hY9TMz3_BZlq1rkp3In…> 👉🏾Tool requests<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f2gq6r4fywryIwaBS92e6LUBiTrK02YOUmR…> ← How do you all collect user requests? ⭐Add any other template docs (or starter template docs!) you think are/could/would be useful. ⭐I brought our questions on the user journey / how people interact with hub / training / domain pages to the GOATS to try and get metrics to understand what our audiences are / should be / could be. This will help us build useful pages. In the meantime, we can specify sections based on audience desired and just hide them or show them as needed for each individual domain. 📭Join our mailing list<https://lists.galaxyproject.org/lists/sig-chairs.lists.galaxyproject.org/> to receive notes in the future! Future Meeting I propose that we have another meeting wherein we have two objectives: 1 - Collect thoughts / brainstorm / come up with ideal Subdomain pages (Subdomain page brainstorming / future template<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10-H-_R58jhW9BIxyJEv9hY9TMz3_BZlq1rkp3In…>) and 2 - Decide what problem (from our communal gripes!) to solve next, and/or (ideally!) share current solutions to each other’s problems we may already have I also propose an alternating timeline of 8am, 1pm, and 5pm (London-time) meetings to hit all the time-zones and caring responsibility issues effectively. To avoid doodlepolls, lengthy email chains, and to block calendars now, I have put in recurring, every-3-month meetings into the Galaxy-WG calendar. Why 3 months? To reduce meeting burden and emphasise doing stuff to streamline/improve processes. A lot of this at the moment is remote work rather than meeting work. We can decide at each meeting a) whether we even want a future meeting; and b) if the day/time works for people. Next meeting 👋🏾Tuesday, Feb 6, at 13:00-London time. [Let me know if this doesn’t work!] Add your name to our calendar list<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8A…> if you want to be included on future calendar invites. Meetings are currently on the Galaxy Working Group GoogleCalendar<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=f6b4dbe4aa3d7076e740e4198aa4…>. 📝Meeting Notes doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zv4rata-uVhFW43S8v_Fw83RVYq6jDGXy-1T8A…> -- [cidimage001.png(a)01D7311B.5DCF6570] [cidimage002.png(a)01D7311B.5DCF6570] Wendi Bacon (she/her) Senior Lecturer in Health Sciences<https://www.open.ac.uk/people/wb2845> School of Life, Health & Chemical Sciences | Faculty of STEM The Open University | Milton Keynes MK7 6AA | United Kingdom Galaxy Single Cell Maintainer<https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/hall-of-fame/nomadscie…> Better Martial Arts<https://better-martial-arts.org/> https://twitter.com/OU_LHCS I sometimes work flexibly so if you have received an email from me outside of normal business hours, I’m sending it at a time that suits me.
