Revision as of 16:53, 17 November 2016
Agenda
AGR 1.0 spec - postponed
- FlyBase Harvard got together and thrashed out a specification for the content of the first release of the AGR portal.
- Other groups have been invited to do the same. Shall we?
CeNDR integration
- https://elegansvariation.org
- Erik Anderson has requested that we "integrate" with their site
- "Basic" integration: create strain objects for all missing strains, and provide links (in "External references" widget):
- from strain to strain (https://elegansvariation.org/strain/ECA252/)
- from gene to gene (https://elegansvariation.org/gene/WBGene00003417/)
- "Deeper" integration? What does this mean?
- Action following discussion with Erik (Mary Ann)
- curate and add 91 strains from their catalogue to WB
- add dbxref to all strains (342) in their catalogue
- add Comment to all CeNDR strains held at CGC pointing users to CeNDR
- fix some erroneous existing strain data (don't know which ones they are)
- add link from External Resources page
Intellectual Lineage Graph
(Should dev site goes down: standalone version).
Conference call using GoToMeeting
- Current AT&T Global Teleconference Service is very costly (~$500/month)
- gotomeeting.com appears to be similar to Bluejeans that AGR uses
- At a much lower cost, $30/month subscription fee for 50 participants
Here's the toll-free option for GoToMeeting: https://www.gotomeeting.com/features/conference-call
Help Desk issues outstanding
- Issue #5243 "[wormbase-help] Invitation to contribute a chapter for Methods in Molecular Biology" ; deadline for submission is 1st April, 2017, discussion my happen about WormBase - ParaSite contributing a chapter.
- FlyBase example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27730573
- All open issues from users look like they are being addressed. Thanks everyone!
Minutes
AGR 1.0 spec
Chris absent, so item postponed
CeNDR integration
- https://elegansvariation.org (Kevin)
- "Deeper" integration? What does this mean? -> Paul Sternberg
- Action following discussion with Erik (Mary Ann)
Kevin: initially proposed links, but Erik wants something a bit more down the line Paul: want their own widget - or display on the genome browser Kevin: Erik has their own genome browser, but it might be too difficult to keep up with their variation IDs if they make changes Paul: we should just start with the linking for now and address deeper integration later
Intellectual Lineage Graph
(Should dev site goes down: standalone version).
Conference call using GoToMeeting
- Current AT&T Global Teleconference Service just restricted to cost and costs were doubled (~$500/month) and we were told to switch systems, but they lied to us and didn't cancel us, if we go back, cost it $250/month; ATT account active for 6 month at a time - metered cost based on use
- Bluejeans, used by AGR is $10,000/year
- gotomeeting.com appears to be similar to Bluejeans - allows video, text
- GoToMeeting At a much lower cost, $30/month subscription fee for 50 participants
- Scott - can dial in from app or telephone number,
- Matt: worked fine for the times he used it
- Daniela and Karen used it for a conference call - screen sharing is possible, but bad when screen sharer goes from screen to screen
- Daniela: is there a trial possible? Raymond: Yes, but does not include international call
- Todd: many VOIP services have problems with communication when many people on the line
- Plan is to try it out with Caltech call, but toll free 800 is an option, need to read the fine line to make sure
- If we go for it, requires 1-year commitment
- we will switch back to the old AT&T number for now, while we try out GoToMeeting
Help Desk issues outstanding
- Issue #5243 "[wormbase-help] Invitation to contribute a chapter for Methods in Molecular Biology" ; deadline for submission is 1st April, 2017, discussion my happen about WormBase - ParaSite contributing a chapter.
- All open issues from users look like they are being addressed. Thanks everyone!
