Dear GTN Tapas participant, Thank you for joining the GTN Tapas event recently! It was a pleasure meeting all of you and I hope you enjoyed the week as much as we did! *Feedback Survey* We would love it if you could provide some feedback to us using this Feedback Survey <https://forms.gle/VVs2QHWNa2ueKnRu7>. Your responses help us improve this event in the future! *Certificates* The deadline to request your certificate is this *Friday, April 1! *So you have until the end of the week to submit your histories, and request your certificate! In order to receive a certificate for this event, please make sure to: 1. *Submit *your Galaxy histories for each tutorial you completed. Use the */completed* command in the corresponding tutorial channel (full instructions <https://gallantries.github.io/video-library/certbot>) 2. *Request your certificate* using the */request-certificate* request (do this* on or before April 1*!) 3. *Fill out our Feedback Survey <https://forms.gle/VVs2QHWNa2ueKnRu7>,* and help us improve this event next year. (this is a *requirement for receiving your certificate*) Complete instructions for using the certbot can be found * here <https://gallantries.github.io/video-library/certbot>.* We aim to send out your certificates no later than April 15 Best regards, Saskia & Helena *Q: Do I have to complete all the tutorials to get a certificate?* *A: *No! That would be almost impossible. We will list your work on your certificate, this can be 1 tutorial or 20, that does not matter! *Q: When will I get my certificate?* *A: *We hope to send them out no later than April 15 (but there are a lot of you and this means quite a bit of work for us, we appreciate your patience!) *Q: I entered the wrong name when I did the /request-certificate request, what do I do now?* *A: *Just execute the command again using your name as you want it to appear on the certificate, we will use only your latest request. *Q: I wasn't able to join one or more of the days, can I still get a certificate?* *A:* Yes, don't worry, we understand that we are all busy and life can get in the way, just follow the instructions for requesting your certificate and everything will be ok! --- Saskia Hiltemann (she/her) Researcher @ Erasmus Medical Center While I may be sending this email outside my normal office hours, I have no expectation to receive a reply outside of yours.

Detailed instructions can be found on the course webpage. *Getting ready for the event* Come join us in Slack <https://join.slack.com/t/gtnsmrgsbord/shared_invite/zt-x7vinbs1-BA~Kht6N86J…> where all of the course discussion during the week will occur!
