Hi all,

Thank you (to Lucille I think) for the detailed note-taking for the last meeting.

I was able to catch up & had a few short comments/questions

Conda:

Thanks for the information, I informed my team
I've not used conda in Galaxy, so my suggestions might be off, but
- maybe make sure that a user cannot somehow override the conda-forge channel (through tool XML or other).
- Maybe even consider IP/URL blocking any official conda links?

NFS Object Store

I use NFS mounting on my Galaxy instance too (for an Object Source, and for Data Libraries)
Once the NFS folder/partition is mounted, it can be used as a regular folder? (transparent for Galaxy)
- So I'm wondering why the need for the plugin in Galaxy?
Does your use-case mandate an Object Store and not a File Source?
- I see a sshfs File Source already exists and that sshfs is becoming competitive with NFS

Interactive Tools

Very cool, thanks!
We have some Jupyter Notebook users locally (not (yet) in Galaxy), this could be useful to them.

Scratch Object Stores, & per-user Object Stores:

If I'm not mistaken, these are both features mentioned in the recent GCC?
Do you know when the videos/slides will be available for this GCC? ( I just checked https://www.youtube.com/@GalaxyProject/videos )

Thank you,

Vlad
