The GMN is launching a two-month mentoring program designed for Galaxy community members to come together as mentors and mentees to achieve a goal, share knowledge and expertise, ask questions, receive feedback, network, and most of all, get support from peers (mentors).This mentoring program will help members transition smoothly from one part of the community to another. It will also help members learn how to use the Galaxy tools and servers efficiently, create training material, or launch and support communities. The end goal of this project is to develop more experienced members and to speed up the growth process for new members who join the community.The project goes to show how people-centered the Galaxy community is. Anyone (students, engineers, researchers, etc) will have the opportunity to be mentored by topic-based experts and mentors.The program goes to show how people-centered the Galaxy community is.
