The 2017 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2017) is being held in Montpellier, France, 26-30 June. GCC2017 will include keynotes and accepted talks, poster sessions, demos, birds-of-a-feather meetups, exhibitors, and plenty of networking opportunities. There will also be three days of pre-conference activities, including hackathons and training. If you work in data-intensive biomedical research, there is no better place than GCC2017 to present your work and to learn from others.

The full printed program is also available.

Abstract
ChemFlow is a multivariate analysis software developed to provide a free user-friendly tool for researchers, teachers and students interested in chemometrics. Thanks to the Galaxy platform, ChemFlow is a secure, free, multi-user web application. It integrates codes from different languages to facilitate the fast development of new methods. This tool provides the opportunity to graphically edit processing workflows. Another feature is to be able to share these workflows and data between users. Data and processing parameters are saved and managed through Galaxy database. It allows the traceability and the reproducibility of the scientific procedures. This software has been designed to be both a teaching resource and a research and development tool. Indeed,it also supports a MOOC : CheMoocs. ChemFlow offers classical chemometric functions, regression and discrimination tools, and methods of spectral decomposition, calibration transfer or multiblock analysis. Dedicated graphs and diagrams are used to explore results in an interactive way. ChemFlow is installed as a virtual machine on several French academic servers. With 1570 students following the MOOC, 650 ChemFlow accounts were created and the public server https://vm-chemflow.toulouse.inra.fr has managed 47000 queries via chemometric tools. Visit the FUN platform (https://www.fun-mooc.fr) for up to date MOOCs in October 2017: CheMoocs-basics and CheMoocs-advanced.
