2012 GMOD Summer School, August 24-29, 2012
__NOTITLE__
Introduction
The GMOD Summer School is a five day course that covers the use of several widely used GMOD components in the context of a organism or clade database. The course is taught by members of the projects' development teams. Applications are competitive, since we generally receive many more applications that we have slots.
Application
The application is available as a Google form. The deadline is July 9.

Most sessions will last half a day. Each night the instructors for that day's topics will be available to answer questions and help participants use the tools with their data.
Instructors
Sessions are taught by experienced component developers and GMOD project staff:
Instructor | GMOD Affiliation | Affiliation |
---|---|---|
Scott Cain | GMOD Project Coordinator; Chado, GBrowse | Ontario Institute for Cancer Research |
Dave Clements | Galaxy | Galaxy, Emory University |
Stephen Ficklin | Tripal | Washington State University |
Alex Kalderimis | InterMine | FlyMine |
Barry Moore | MAKER | University of Utah |
Ed Lee | Apollo | Berkeley Bioinformatics Open-source Projects (BBOP) |
Sheldon McKay | GBrowse_syn, GBrowse | iPlant Collaborative |
Robert Buels | JBrowse | University of California, Berkeley |
Prerequisites
The course requires a minimal level of Linux systems administration knowledge (see Computing Requirements). By "a minimal level of Linux systems administration knowledge" we mean that participants should be
- Comfortable with the Linux command line interface, and
- Comfortable installing packages under Linux.
A good benchmark for this level of knowledge is that you should be able to get a basic GBrowse installation (that is, GBrowse without MySQL) up and running with the example GBrowse data. This also requires installing Apache, and BioPerl and all its dependencies.
System Requirements
Previous incarnations of this course used VMware images. The 2012 instance will use the Amazon Web Service (aka, the cloud). The only software required to be on students' laptops is a ssh client (like putty for Windows, or the builtin ssh client in the Mac OS), a web browser (preferably up to date (and avoiding Internet Explorer is a good idea)), and possibly (depending on what we do) Java.
Costs
There will be a tuition charged for the course to cover expenses. The amount will be announced by June 6.
Travel, Lodging and Meals
Suggestions for travel into the Durham, NC area will be forthcoming, as well as a suggested hotel.
