First SPOC CoFest

We held our first 🖖🏾SPOC CoFest, in the great tradition of the excellent CoFests organised in the GTN that welcomed Wendi Bacon avatar Wendi Bacon and many others into the community.

We welcomed a diverse group of participants, from experienced Galaxy trainers to bioinformaticians with little to no Galaxy experience whatsoever. We also were lucky enough to be joined by a 5-strong outpost from Singapore, prompting a Pacific-time-zone kick-off session prior to our day-long event.

🎉A big thank you to all the participants for their hard work!🎉

Chart showing: 14 new participants, 5 experienced SPOC members, 60% attendance rate, 12 PRs made, 5 tutorials tested on different servers, 2 workflows updated, 8 issues raised, 2 new tutorials WIP, 5 slide decks updated, 1 trained trainer. Open image in new tab
