## Interested people

- Sebastien Moretti (SIB)
- attended before
- planning to attend physically
- PI for proposal involving EasyBuild/EESSI?
- Kenneth Hoste (HPC-UGent)
- interested
- unclear whether physical attendance will work (mostly due to required time investment)
- remotely participating (~half time) should be possible
- Alan O'Cais (CECAM)
- very unlikely to be able to attend physically
- happy to offer some support...but won't be able to commit to a full week
- Jurij Pečar (EMBL)
- level of interest?
- Elisabeth Ortega (HPCNow!)
- interested
- happy to offer some support but not sure about my availability yet

## Project ideas

- Adding bioinformatics software to EasyBuild/EESSI
- Extend software representation in EasyBuild (for fields with few representatives, e.g. Cheminformatics or Clinical Bioinformatics)
- Integrating EESSI into Galaxy
- Evaluating performance of popular bioinformatics software that's available through Galaxy, compare with EESSI
