[Gmod-help] GMOD Summer School and Chado

[Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk]

Hello all,

The first annual GMOD Summer School will be held July 11-13, 2008 at
the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent), in Durham, North
Carolina, USA. This is a 2 1/2 day hands-on workshop aimed at teaching
new GMOD users how to get up and running with popular GMOD components.
 There will also be a concurrent 1 day session aimed at principal
investigators that will give decision makers an overview of what GMOD
can do, how the project operates, and what level of resources are
needed to get a GMOD installation up and running.

The course includes sessions on Chado, taught by Scott Cain and
Myself.  These will include an overview of Chado's architecture,
installation, importing and exporting data, and complete worked
example of loading some sample sequence data.

If you are interested in attending please submit a Statement of
Interest before April 15, 2008. The course is free but enrollment is
limited. See the GMOD Summer School page

for information about applying and a tentative program.

Please let Scott or myself know if you have any questions, comments,
or reequests.

Thanks,

Dave Clements
