There was a problem hiding this comment. the flyer might be updated for online events, but we can always update the link in the future There was a problem hiding this comment. in the flyer we do not have any event just infos about our work. Usually we are printing 1000 of them There was a problem hiding this comment. sorry I didn't mean that. I meant having a format more suitable to share in online events, instead of several pages that you need to assemble in your mind, having a one-page flyer that fits on the screen. This could be added to slides, attached to emails, etc. discussed a bit about it yesterday with @bebatut |

||||||
| To start analysing data, you can log into the [European Galaxy server](https://usegalaxy.eu) and learn how to use it in the [Galaxy Training Network](https://training.galaxyproject.org). | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Currently we are developing a monthly newsletter about Galaxy news. The newsletter can be subcribed [here](...). | ||||||

There was a problem hiding this comment. This post is rather general, so asking people to join the German mailing list might be strange There was a problem hiding this comment. mhm, right. Maybe we could modify it like this: Currently, we are developing a monthly newsletter about German Galaxy news |

|
||||||
| Here in the ["news"](https://galaxyproject.eu/news) section, you can find updates from our team. Under ["events"](https://galaxyproject.eu/events) we will announce upcoming Galaxy trainings. | ||||||

There was a problem hiding this comment. I am not sure about this sentence... the events page was mentioned above and news, they are already in, so... There was a problem hiding this comment. then include links there? |
