Galaxy Developer Conference 2011, 25-26 May, Lunteren, The Netherlands



The 2nd annual Galaxy Developer Conference will be held 25-26 May, at the Conference Centre De Werelt in Lunteren, The Netherlands. The conference features two full days of presentations and discussion on extending Galaxy to use new tools and data sources. If you are a tool developer or a data provider please consider attending to learn how to integrate your resources into Galaxy and increase their usage.

Goals

The goal of the 2011 Galaxy Developer Conference is to engage a broader community of developers, data producers, and tool creators. We will cover the following aspects of Galaxy framework:

  • The hitchhiker's guide to Galaxy architecture
  • Integration of tools (including NGS analysis tools) and distributed job management
  • Deployment of private Galaxy instances on local resources and on the Cloud
  • Management of large datasets with the Galaxy Library System
  • Using the Galaxy LIMS functionality at NGS sequencing facilities
    

Who Should go?

This meeting will be primarily targeting software engineers, IT professionals, and developers of analysis tools. So, it you are an occasional Perl script writer, this meeting is not for you. However, if you belong to any of categories below, please register ASAP:

  • I write tools for analysis of NGS data
  • I am an IT professional managing a core facility or sequencing center
  • I develop applications for management of very large datasets
  • I write web applications for biologists

Details

The conference is being held 25-26 May, at the Conference Centre De Werelt in Lunteren, The Netherlands. This is immediately before the 2011 European Human Genetics Conference being held in nearby Amsterdam.

The advance programme is now available. This year the meeting includes and Introduction to Galaxy session the night before the meeting for attendees who are brand new to Galaxy.

About Galaxy

Galaxy makes it easy to perform analysis interactively through the web, on arbitrarily large datasets. With hundreds of tools there are few limits on what can be done. Now with NGS analysis workflows (including numerous Illumina-, SOLiD-, and 454-specific tools), trackster browser, and collaborative pages you can do more in the Cloud. Galaxy is distributed under BSD-like license.
