This point about "provided automatized workflows" is a bit strange. Sounds like we have workflows available for everything?

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


Important websites for you are the [Galaxy server](https://usegalaxy.eu) and the collection of [training material](https://training.galaxyproject.org).

This post is rather general, so asking people to join the German mailing list might be strange

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.
