Hi Scott, I just wanted to say a tremendous ‘thank you’ for essentially leading GMOD efforts over the last 20+ years. Wow, has it been that long!?! (I’m getting old). You should be incredibly proud of the work you and all GMOD projects and developers have accomplished; it’s a tremendous accomplishment. Hope to see you still out there somewhere in the open-bio world, and best of luck on your next steps in your career! Best, Chris From: Scott Cain <sc...@sc...> Date: Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at 1:19 PM To: gmod-announce <gmo...@li...>, gmod-devel <gmo...@li...>, gmod-ajax <gmo...@li...>, GMOD Tripal <gmo...@li...>, Gbrowse (E-mail) <gmo...@li...>, GMOD Schema/Chado List <gmo...@li...> Subject: [Gmod-gbrowse] Server change for gmod.org and an announcement Hello all, For several years, I've wanted to port the gmod.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/gmod.org__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtXG8hWZg$> MediaWiki instance to something else but was daunted by the task. Events have finally conspired to force me to do it, so I've spent the last month porting the content at gmod.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/gmod.org__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtXG8hWZg$> to a github.io<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/github.io__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtQUw79P0$> hosted page. It was a real slog, but thank goodness for recursive wget, Pandoc and command line Perl to allow me to change thousands of markdown files at a time. Since gmod.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/gmod.org__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtXG8hWZg$> is now hosted at github.io<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/github.io__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtQUw79P0$>, changes to this page can now be made with commits to the https://github.com/GMOD/gmod.github.io<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/GMOD/gmod.github.io__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtU5TvTYs$> repo. That means that fixes and additions can be made by creating and editing markdown files in the gmod.github.io<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/gmod.github.io__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtViLqSVk$> repo and merging the changes into the main branch. AND NOW THE ANNOUNCEMENT At the end of July, I will be stepping away from my role as GMOD project coordinator, which on one hand, makes me very sad, but on the other, fills me with immense pride in what we as the GMOD community have achieved over the last 22 years. We have truly democratized organism genomics, allowing a small lab to distribute data on whatever organisms are of interest to them with (relatively) little effort. We can compare that to the MODs that existed in the early aughts, that had staffs of many software developers to make the same thing happen. We all did that, and I think the world is a better place for it. I can't say yet where I'm going, as I have a few opportunities on the table that haven't been finalized, but I hope to be fulfilling a similar role in another community. If you're really interested, you can follow me on Mastodon at @sco...@ge...cial.
