The GMOD Summer School is a five day course that covers the use of several widely used GMOD components in the context of a organism or clade database. The course is taught by members of the projects' development teams. Applications are competitive, since we generally receive many more applications that we have slots.
If you have any questions, please contact the GMOD help desk.
The Course
The summer school comprises five days of hands-on courses on GMOD component installation, configuration, and usage. Most sessions are four hours (a half day), and the evenings feature work sessions where the instructors are available to answer questions and help participants use the tools with their data. The instructors on the course are experienced component developers and GMOD project staff.
The course covers the following topics in detail:

Course Work
The 2013 Summer School will use Amazon Web Services to host virtual GMOD instances containing the software and demo data used during the course. See GMOD in the Cloud for more information on the GMOD Amazon Machine Images available to the public. The tutorials used on the course will be available on this wiki for interested persons to work through.
