On September 27th and 28th, the Galaxy-P project organized it's first Contribution fest with the aim to port as many as possible tool dependencies to Conda packages. Conda packages are the future of Galaxy’s tool dependency management and will yield more robust tools and automatic CI testing of all Galaxy-P tools.
The Galaxy-P community was available for two days on gitter and helped everyone who wanted to contribute and to get started with Conda packaging. Thanks to all contributors for their amazing work, the priceless french lessons and all the fun we had discovering all the pitfalls of packaging scientific software.
