We recently presented the GTN at the 2024 Galaxy Community Conference. This presentation was a summary of the updates and new features that were added to the GTN in the past year.

Many of these updates have been covered in previous blog posts on the GTN, but when you put it all in a single presentation it really becomes clear how much the community has done over the last year!

See the presentation

And we covered a few updates there are still somewhere on their journey from planning to implementation, such as:

  • WorkflowHub upload
  • Maintainer Homepages
  • Workflow Testing
  • Automated Recordings

We’re so happy for the incredible work our massive community has done, thank you all for your contributions!

Thanks to our 495 GTN contributors!

We were genuinely delighted by the level of interest: 120 students signed up, 100 showed up, and around 80 worked through the hands-on tutorials during the week. That’s a fantastic level of engagement, especially for a course that’s entirely optional and doesn’t count towards their degree.
