[Gmod-tripal] Update to Tripal Events with PAG

[Meg S. <me...@gm...>]

Hello,
Here are some updates on our Tripal related PAG events.

1. The Tripal session at PAG will be Sunday January from 4:00pm to 6:10pm
in the California room. We have a great line up of speakers:

   - Yi Zheng: "Cucurbit Genomics Database: Integration Genetic and
   Genomics Resources for Cucurbit Breeding"
   - Dorrie Main: "Updates on Tripal Mapviewer and the Tripal Breeding
   Information Management System (BIMS)"
   - Stephen Ficklin: "The Tripal Gateway Project: Supporting Exchange,
   Transfer and Analysis of Large-Scale Data for Online Biological Databases"
   - Nic Herndon: "Tripal Extensions Facilitate Association Mapping Studies
   on Forest Trees with CartograTree
   - Abdullah Almsaeed: "Tripal Elasticsearch: Bringing Simple and Powerful
   Sitewide Search to Tripal Websites"
   - Sheri Sanders: "National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS)
   use and development of Tripal Genome Browsers on XSEDE’s Jetstream"
   - Alicia Talavera: "An Open and Community Oriented Web Portal for
   Subtropical Fruit Trees Genomic, Phenotype and Breeding Data Analysis"

2. We will again be holding the Tripal Hackathon before PAG, on *Thursday,
January 11th* and the User Meeting on *Friday, January 12th*. We will be
meeting at the *Town & Country hotel in the Esquire room* (see hotel map:
http://www.mobilemaplets.com/showplace/3170). We will be meeting from *9am
to 4:30pm* each day and we'll also schedule a group dinner on Thursday
night.

If you are planning to attend, please add your name to this google doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1klQwUqaT_KxPKIfGYy_3rtGnOMVhJxEoD9dZ4PGc4yg/edit?usp=sharing>.
We are also soliciting feedback from the community on any topics or break
out groups you would like to see.

3.Tripal Install and Basic Site Development Training. We had very low
interest in this activity, so we won't be holding the training. If anyone
wants to work with a Tripal developer to do an online training, please
email me and we'll set something up.

Thanks and hope to see many of you in San Diego,
Meg
