GalaxyAdmins is Back!

Except for a meetup at GCC2014, the GalaxyAdmins group has been hiatus for a while. Thanks to the efforts of Hans-Rudolf Hotz, the GalaxyAdmins groupis back. Starting in February 2015, we will resume our bi-monthly web meetups.

GalaxyAdmins is a discussion group for Galaxy community members who are responsible for Galaxy installations.

Fall 2014 Galaxy Community Questionnaires Summary

The lead presentation will summarize the Galaxy Community Questionnaires that were run last fall. The questionnaires covered both Galaxy usage and deployment.

Galaxy Project Update: Gravity

Nate Coraor will also introduce Gravity:

A process manager (supervisor) and management tools for Galaxy servers.

Installing this will give you two executables, galaxycfg and galaxyadm. As their names imply, galaxycfg does things related to configuration and galaxyadm does things related to administration.

A virtualenv will automatically be created for your Galaxy server. It's a good thing.

Call Technology

The meetup's online conference room will open 15 minutes before the meetup. The call will use Johns Hopkins' Adobe Connect server, which in turn uses Adobe Flash. You are encouraged to connect a few minutes early to work out any unexpected bumps.
