Feedback and Future Steps
by Anton Nekrutenko 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Dear WG leads: Attached is a feedback writeup summarizing our thoughts on the current progress. Some of the main takeaways are: 1. Clear delineation between "Projects" and "Working groups". Efforts such as AnVIL, ITCR, Covid, and VGP will become Projects -- a collection of Galaxy development priorities focused on a particular scientific application. 2. Admin and Deployment will be merged into new "Systems" working groups. Support and outreach will be merged into GOATS (Galaxy Outreach And Training + Support). As a result we will have Systems, Backend, UI/UX, Tools, Testing, GOATS, and Workflows (a total of 7) WGs 3. We will have a team meeting next Thursday (Sept 30) at Noon EST (GMT-4, 9am PST, 18:00 CET). At this meeting we will discuss the big picture of the project and driving user cases. WGs will then have two weeks to develop milestones for the next three months. We want to ask WGs to do the following before next Thursday: create a WG-specific google calendar and put information about your regular meetings for the next three months with all zoom info and so on. This should be easily accessible to everyone.

Here is the schedule for presentations (I tried to accommodate Europe versus US, but maybe I did not do a good job, so let's work on this if you need changes): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CWUpoxyMQ1KU8eb8G7XEnP8AmYCgRtCBSuW… (Sept2021_presentations tab) Here is a slide deck to dump your presentations in: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NMgh4__teACahdQMD8474pigmFO4jQsOmDu… Thanks, a.

Presentation guidelines for Sept 2 and 3
by Anton Nekrutenko 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Here are the promised guidelines for the presentations on Sept 2 and 3: 1. Title slide: Names of group members, details of group logistics (do you communicate using zoom/slack/gitter? How often do you have meetings?). We would like to try to share working styles across groups. 2. Slide listing priorities for this cycle 3. Several slides with activities from this cycle including PRs, Figures, or a demo if appropriate 4. Challenges and blockers 5. Plan for the next period The presentation should be 10 min in length. This would allow for questions. Only WG leads should be present at both of these meetings.

End of the cycle progress
by Anton Nekrutenko 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

Dear WG leads: It is clear that August is not a good time for meetings. However, we think that the meetings are necessary as they allow feedback and discussion. So we propose two days in September: Thursday, Sept 5 and Friday, Sept 6 at 9am PST/12pm EST/18:00 CET. In addition, we want to maximally expose this process to the broad community. To do this we would ask each group to write a blog post highlighting one or two or three major developments that the group thinks benefits Galaxy users. This post will be shared across galaxyproject.org and galaxyproject.eu sites. A.

WG reports for 4 month period
by Anton Nekrutenko 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

I already put this on gitter, but here it is again: With GCC and all we did not have a chance to run through our priorities in the middle of this period. We would like to schedule two 1.5 hour meetings where each WG will go through their milestones. This will take place on August 14 and August 20. We would like to start at 9am [PST], Noon [EST], 6pm [CET] to squeeze in as many time zones as possible. Because there are many WGs we will split them in half in the order they are listed in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CWUpoxyMQ1KU8eb8G7XEnP8AmYCgRtCBSuW… .

Q2 roadmap
by Anton Nekrutenko 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Dear WG leads: Please share your Q2 plans with us by adding a link to the WG spreadsheet (link below; there is a new sheet called "Q2 2021"). Instead of breaking a year into quarters we will instead work on a four month cycle to match the overall Galaxy release cycle. So the cycle that just began will end in August. We will have two 2-hour meetings: one mid-cycle (second week of June) and one at the end (August). Each meeting will be ~2 hours to give enough time for presentation and discussion for each WG. These will be scheduled to accommodate world time zones. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CWUpoxyMQ1KU8eb8G7XEnP8AmYCgRtCBSuW… Thank you all! a. PS To avoid the perception of "conspiracy" (something I am widely known for) I also shared this to wg-all Gitter Channel.

Q2 Priorities
by Anton Nekrutenko 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Dear WG leads: Thank you again for your Q1 efforts - this was a very nice start for the year! Below is a link to the high level priorities for Q2. Please, use this to develop a detailed roadmap for each WG that should include the names of potential implementers. Please do this by next Tuesday and share it with us. One thing we would like to do differently this quarter is to have more detailed conversations with individual WGs. Every quarter we will be blocking 4-6 hours and giving each workgroup sufficient time to present and discuss their results/questions/plans in more detail. We will get back with details on the logistics of this next week. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iuaJXD_CDdL2toF3r-zT531mkxprxtLPdFPn1QD… Thank you again!!!! a.
