How does the user community value the GDR?
If you’re attending the ASHS conference in Orlando next week and are a Rosaceae crop breeder or breeding-allied researcher, your thoughts and wisdom are needed!
We’d like to discuss your ideas about user benefits of accessing GDR data and tools (such as advances, outputs, and impacts that would not be possible or would cost more or take more time if the GDR did not exist) and how the GDR could quantify those benefits across the community. We’d also like to discuss user costs to access GDR data and tools (such as user time to train on GDR content and capabilities and to access and use specific data and tools). (From next year, we plan to visit yet-to-be-chosen user programs across the U.S. for in-depth case studies on such benefits and costs.)
It would be great if you could participate in one of the 1-hour discussion sessions to be held during the conference, on Thursday Aug 3 at 1:00—2:00 pm and 4:30—5:30 pm in Antigua 4 room of the conference venue. Email me at cpeace(a)wsu.edu<mailto:cpeace@wsu.edu> to RSVP or find out more, or just turn up to the room at the start of a session.
Also, remember to attend the workshop on Thursday morning, 10:15—12:15, “Hands-on Training for Effective Use, Data Contribution, and Options for Long Term Sustainability of Specialty Crop Community Databases<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ashs.confex.com/ashs/2023/meetingapp.cg… >” and participate in an interactive workshop to accelerate your research!

Dear Rosaceae Genomics friends,
We have decided to cancel this meeting as nobody has suggested any specific topic they wanted to discuss.
The acceptance rate was quite high, though, so we will try to arrange another meeting in a few months. Please, if you are aware of projects and funding application initiative that might interest the larger Rosaceae community, let us know.
Thanks
We have found a date for the RosIGI meeting. Please find below the link to join the meeting via Teams.
As a reminder, the purpose of RosIGI is to ensure communication among Rosaceae researchers across the world (so not only US) and coordinate international efforts on key initiatives that might be undertaken. More info here: Rosaceae International Genomics Initiative (RosIGI) | GDR<https://www.rosaceae.org/community/rosgi>
I hope the many of you will be able to attend this meeting, and feel free to share this invite with anyone you think might be interested.
If you would like to present or propose a topic for discussion, please get in touch with me or with any of the other international liaisons (below).
For example, I am aware of several initiatives about developing genotyping platforms to 1) replace Illumina arrays that are being discontinued; 2) fill-in gaps for certain crops (i.e. Rubus); 3) multi-species SNP arrays. It would be great to have some of the researchers involved in this space to present some slides about current discussions.
I’ll circulate an agenda after RGC11 ☺
Looking forward to chat with you all,
