Re: [galaxy-dev] GalaxyAdmins Group: Future Directions?

2013-04-25 Thread John Chilton
I agree that we shouldn't be hasty, but my two cents is that the
galaxy-dev list should be split in two. Ironically, I think most of
the traffic on this list right now is related to deployment issues -
in that respect I would see it almost as Galaxy admins stay here and
developer chatter move to a new list. (This could hopefully be
accomplished with e-mail aliases or something).

The nature of my interactions with Galaxy is such that I would still
follow both lists, but I know there are people out there who have
Galaxy deployed but don't really do any development per se, and I have
talked to at least one such person who told me he does not follow this
list because there is too much traffic. I don't think these people
need to see my thoughts on a syntax for securing tool XML files or
Peter's thoughts on the tool shed.

Long story short, I love the sound of my own voice and I would be less
self conscious about that if there were two lists :).

 yes, we should wait till we made some decisions about the future of the
 group. I am still concerned yet another mailing list will just lead to
 duplications

I think it would be simpler to define the new list and encourage
people only interested in deployment to move to the new list,
but I'm not looking after mailman here ;)

Likewise if the list was split, I'd follow both galaxy-dev and the new one
what ever it was called (how about galaxy-deploy, since galaxy-admin
sounds too much like it is about the project management), and
also galaxy-user too most likely ;)

Re: [galaxy-dev] GalaxyAdmins Group: Future Directions?

2013-04-24 Thread Dave Clements
Hello all,

Just some minor updates to refresh this thread.  Most of this will be
described in more detail in separate emails over the next two weeks.

First, the next web meetup will be May 15.  We haven't nailed down a main
speaker yet, but Dannon Baker will be giving the project update.

Second, I've created a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session at GCC2013 to
continue, and maybe just finish, this discussion in person at the meeting
(see http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/BoF/GalaxyAdmins).  If
you are interested in participating in that BoF, either send me an email,
or add your name to that wiki page.  (We will officially announce GCC2013
BoFs in a few weeks - after the poster abstract deadline, but feel free to
get a head start and add your own now.  :-)

Third, should we start a separate email list for GalaxyAdmins business?  It
would have far fewer members and have far less traffic than Galaxy-Dev.
 I'm in favor of it.  If you have an opinion, please post here.

Thanks,

Dave C

 Hello all,

 I have kept track of the head counts for most meetups:

 2012/07/07  27
 2012/07/27  ? (in person meetup at GCC2012)
 2012/09/19  10
 2012/11/07  17
 2013/01/16  14
 2013/03/20  15

 So, maybe converging on mid-teens?  This number is not as high as I had
 hoped.  Srinivas, is there any way to tell how many times the screencasts
 have been watched afterword?


 I'm see the group as complimentary to Galaxy-Dev, and I am leaning towards
 creating a Galaxy-Admins maling list that is purely about the group and
 group activities (Ann BZ's idea originally).  It would not be a support
 channel and any stray support postings would get redirected to Galaxy-Dev
 (or Galaxy-User, if that's where they belong).  We would still post
 activities to Galaxy-Dev as well, but any group business (like this
 discussion) would happen only on Galaxy-Admins.


 On the group leadership issue I very much want the group to be led by
 people that are not part of the core team.  I am quite willing to continue
 to fill the supportive role I've been doing for the past year.  If
 GalaxyAdmins is to become a voice for the community at some point in the
 future, it should very definitely not be led by the core team.  However, if
 our future consists only of bi-monthly meetups (which have been great!)
 then it does not matter as much.

upcoming features and other developments.

With regard to the future of the group, my suggestion is to keep it going and 
work towards building a full-fledged user group with additional opportunities 
for sharing, learning and collaborating. This will strengthen the community, 
possibly drive increased adoption, and further serve to guide development of 
Galaxy.

Appointing one of more leaders (one each from the Galaxy team and user 
community) to identify speakers, drive the agenda, set a cadence to the 
meet-ups and drive the formation of a user group would be helpful, IMHO.

Thanks!

Notes:
1. Build a community, learn from each other

Subject: [galaxy-dev] GalaxyAdmins Group: Future Directions?

Hello all,

The GalaxyAdmins group is coming up on it's one year anniversary (coinciding 
with GCC2013) and this is a good opportunity to discuss what the future of the 
group should be.

Some starting topics for discussion are on the GalaxyAdmins Future Directions 
page (http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Community/GalaxyAdmins/Future).  These 
include

 * What should the group's goals and activities be?
 * What type of leadership structure should the group have, and how should it 
be selected?

The discussion, however, is wide open to any topic relevant to the group.  If 
you have any opinions or suggestions please reply to the group.  Anyone with an 
interest in the group is encouraged to post.

Once the discussion settles, I will summarize the discussion on the wiki page 
and suggest an action plan for making those things happen.

Thanks,

Dave C.
