Support letter templates
The JBrowse project is applying for a grant renewal from NHGRI to continue the work that JBRowse, and as part of the grant, to fund the "GMOD help desk" (that is, the stuff I do: workshops, meetings and Chado development). The title of that grant is "Enhancements to the GMOD suite of genome annotation and visualization tools".
We need to demonstrate that we support the community and have the support of the community, and we would like to demonstrate that by submitting many letters of support from users. We would be very grateful if you could take a couple of minutes to write such a letter; it should include information about how you use or plan to use GMOD software. There are some template paragraphs below for inspiration.
The letters should be on institutional letterhead, signed, and then scanned to a PDF. Please contact the GMOD helpdesk or email Scott directly if you're willing to write a letter or if you need any help.
The deadline for getting the letters of support is February 28.
This grant would help to secure the future of important parts of the GMOD project, so we would be very grateful for your help!
Generic intro paragraph
The GMOD project has two related aims: to provide open source and interoperable visualization, annotation and data management software for use with genomics data, and to foster the growth of a community of developers and users who ask diverse questions but share common problems. The project does this in multiple ways: they provide venues for in person interaction, including GMOD community meetings, workshops at conferences and courses, as well as avenues for online interaction, including software repositories, mailing lists, standards and a wiki-powered web site. Their continued work is important for the future of genomics-driven biology research.
Took a summer school course
The GMOD projects has provided many courses to reach out to the community and get new users. I took one of the "summer school" courses WHEN, WHERE which covered several topics, including Chado, JBrowse, GBrowse, Galaxy, Apollo, and Intermine. The course brought together experts in each of the software projects (typically the lead developer) to teach and it provided an excellent opportunity both to learn about the software and to interact with both the developers and the other students who were also grappling with their own massive data influxes.

Related project
The GMOD project aims to promote communication between software communities and interoperability between software. They provide several venues for communicating: community meetings, workshops, mailing lists, and a wiki-powered website. They also provide some standards for software interoperability. These are important to us because ....
