Hello 🪑GCB!
Galaxy Community Board
We had a delightful and surprisingly well attended meeting this week!
See our 📝Meeting notes for details and exciting news (a surprising
amount!)
We spent the meeting filling in different goals and community needs as part of a 2024 pilot Galaxy Roadmap exercise.

To discuss next time
⭐️Bring your best practice tips!
Next meeting (November), we will each share two things
that make running a community either easier or more useful. So prepare a couple of ideas for sharing and pop them in the
Agenda!
Actions
⭐️Fill in
community needs by Sept 18th - this is our chance to enact change across the Galaxy ecosystem! Get in!
⭐️Misconceptions paper team - get yourselves back together!
⭐Inaugural Regional Community meet - Volunteer needed!
- The Regional Communities are currently not well represented in GCB, and our timetable largely focuses on scientific user groups rather than regional. We would therefore like to introduce a regional community-specific
meet-up for Regional chairs to share ideas, needs, ask questions and give advice. We need a volunteer (who is currently chairing a regional community, or trying to build one!) to run this!
⭐Continue building exciting and brilliant communities!
Next meeting
