You've asked for control of https://github.com/cloud4bio (everybody)

Let's do it! Have your github ids ready and we'll find out where should we add them such that you can create and share your own repositories. Should we give Gitter a chance?

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project (Oscar)

Home page at https://gtexportal.org, integration with Ensembl. Let's have a quick look at the APIs, https://observablehq.com/@jonasalmeida/gtex

Oscar will be our stakeholder on this one ...

Along the same lines - show&tell: serverless analytics for dceg.cancer.gov/confluence (only auth2ed users can run it, quick show only to highlight properties of cloud middle layers): https://episphere.github.io/confluence.

What is the Web+Cloud full stack in the "API Economy"? (Robert, Jonas)

Robert Stevens just joined NCI via CBIIT as a full stack developer. He specifically wants to know how this looks like. I (Jonas) thought no one would ever ask :-D.

This will be illustrated with the full cycle of

1. creating a repository in cloud4bio,
2. serving the front end with version control
3. serving the backend via continuous deployment to a cloud service (as FaaS)
4. how does team dev look like in such an environment
5. Jupyterish things are becoming more and more popular in this space (Ben's opinion) (also Jonas!)

The Genome in a Bottle (GiaB) Meeting was last week. (Ben)

They are scaling up their workshops, even more interesting, a bunch of other parts of JIMB are!

NCBI is running a Computational Virology Workshop in New Orleans April 23-24 (Ben)

Applications are still open for the Bio-IT world FAIR Data Hackathon -- Lots of Interesting Projects! (Ben)
