[Dave Clements]

Hello all,

*GMOD will be holding a community meeting on June 30th and July 1st
<http://gmod.org/wiki/Jun_2016_GMOD_Meeting> in Bloomington, Indiana,
United States.* GMOD Meetings <http://gmod.org/wiki/Meetings> are a mix of
user and developer presentations, and are a great place to find out what is
happening in the project, what's coming up, and what others are doing.

*Early bird registration <https://gmod2016.eventbrite.com/> ends May 21,
this Saturday.*

*For those who would like to present a talk or poster, the meeting
registration form includes a section for submitting the presentation title
and abstract.*

If you have any suggestions or requests for the meeting, please
contact the GMOD
help desk <***@gmod.org>.


*GCC2016*

The GMOD Meeting is immediately after the 2016 Galaxy Community Conference
(GCC2016) <https://gcc2016.iu.edu/>, also in Bloomington (and sharing
housing and venue). If you are interested in Galaxy, *GCC2016 has a number
of deadlines this Friday, May 20*. See below.

Galaxy is a part of the GMOD project and there are several presentations at
GCC2016 that cover the GMOD integration:

- Moving data from the warehouse to the workbench: a bridge to Galaxy
from the Tripal community genome database software platform,
<http://sched.co/743X> talk presented by Margaret Staton
- Apollo: Collaborative Manual Annotation for Genomic Sequencing Projects
<http://sched.co/743i>, talk presented by Nathan Dunn (Apollo will have
a poster and demo)
- Hardwood Genomics Database (HGD): a web portal and database resource
for hardwood tree genomic and genetic research, poster presented by Ming
Chen and Margaret Staton (posters are not online yet)

More posters and demos are in the works.

Thanks, and hope to see you in Bloomington,

Dave C

Hello all,

This is just a reminder that* there are some key deadlines this Friday, May
20:*

- Early registration ends <https://gcc2016.iu.edu/registration/index.php>.
After Friday registration rates go up by over 40%.
- Poster abstracts <https://gcc2016.iu.edu/abstracts/index.php> are due.

- Demo abstracts <https://gcc2016.iu.edu/abstracts/index.php> are due.
These are new this year and can complement a poster abstract or stand on
their own.

If you are wondering what's happening at GCC2016, the training and

And, thanks to Jetstream <http://jetstream-cloud.org/> IU's newest National
Science Foundation-funded project (and in which Galaxy is a partner), and
the National Center for Genome Analysis Support <http://ncgas.org/> at IU
are sponsoring an opening reception on Monday evening <http://sched.co/72bN>
at the IU Cyberinfrastructure Building. The first ever GCC opening
reception will feature local wine/beer, morsels from local eateries, and
demonstrations of the 15 million+ pixel IQ-Wall, IU's Data Center, Science
on a Sphere, and other IU-centric IT.

Hope to see you there,
