If you've missed our #usegalaxy #ELIXIREurope SARS-CoV-2 webinar series, you can still watch the recordings on https://m.youtube.com/c/ELIXIREurope/videos?disable_polymer=true&itct=CCkQ8JMBGAEiEwjwoNrn75vvAhUBS-AKHdLlBzA%3D

https://elixir-europe.org/events/2nd-galaxy-elixir-webinar-series on use of Galaxy in SARS-CoV-2 data analysis finished two weeks ago, but https://elixir-europe.org/events/galaxy-elixir-webinars-series-advanced-features has just started. Many of those features have profited greatly from our SARS-CoV-2 analysis efforts.
Over the last year, the vast amounts of viral sequencing data coming in have revealed many bottlenecks in tools, workflows and Galaxy itself,and #usegalaxy developers and the community have eliminated most of them in a great collaborative effort!

Simply great: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/12/07/gitter-now-speaks-matrix
Finally, all public #usegalaxy gitter channels can be accessed through matrix!
Well done @matrix
Now I'd only wish there was a mobile client with support for multiple accounts that I could use for professional *and* private communication.

Been participating in #BioHackEU20 this week, which was of course virtual instead of in Barcelona. #remo https://remo.co/ worked really well, but as a colleague put it: participating from at home feels like regular work - just interrupted with more video conferencing.
The socialising part of such a meeting suffers heavily.

The topic is more complicated than last time, but he explains things really well. Again, a must-read on #COVID19 !

Been all busy last week helping finalize https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.21.959973v1 on analyzing publicly available #covid sequence data on open platforms with only #opensource tools in transparent ways.
If you ever felt tempted to explore coronavirus raw sequencing data yourself, it's now easier than ever with our instructions and data in https://github.com/galaxyproject/SARS-CoV-2
and #usegalaxy workflows. Your comments, suggestions and contributions to the repo are welcome!

https://usegalaxy.org has done it: first big public #usegalaxy server to run on #Python 3. Looks good so far, but be prepared for teething troubles over the next days.
