Currently Scheduled Topics

The following topics are currently being organized for the meeting. Consider joining one of these during registration or, if you'd like to lead your own topic, please indicate it during registration.

Group Topic Description Group Lead
Implementation of Tripal v4 Fields The Entity and Fields interfaces are ready and the next step in the development of Tripal v4 is the creation of specific fields.  For example the organism, publication, gene fields to name a few. Fields form the basis for all data organization including page displays, web services and searching. Josh Burns / Sean Buehler
Production Docker Tripal v4 A Tripal v4 Docker image can help reduce the complexity for the installation of Tripal and its dependencies (e.g., PostgreSQL, Apache, PHP, etc.). Additionally, some users would like a production-level image that is easy to port and maintains.  This group will work towards the development of that resource. Stephen Ficklin
Chado Updates Chado is the standard on which data is housed in Tripal.  In order for Tripal to support newer and emerging data types new tables, or changes to tables are necessary.  This group will focus on providing suggestions for those updates as well as working with the Chado management committee towards updating Chado. Lacey Sanderson
