Affinity Groups

This affinity group explores using OOD tools—like initializers and plugins—to customize site behaviors. The focus is on extending functionality and making the user experience simpler.

This group is for genomics researchers using Open OnDemand to share tips, troubleshoot, and discuss optimizing bioinformatics workflows.

This group explores ways to integrate LLMs with OOD, including building user-facing apps and enhancing how users interact with tools in the OOD ecosystem, and more.

This affinity group brings together researchers, educators, and technologists engaged with the NAIRR Pilot to share knowledge, resources, and experiences. Our goal is to support access to the Pilot’s AI tools, datasets, and platforms while fostering collaboration across disciplines and institutions. We aim to amplify the impact of the NAIRR Pilot by connecting participants, surfacing common challenges, and sharing solutions that promote trustworthy AI research. By working together, we help shape the future of shared AI infrastructure in the U.S. research and education ecosystem.

This group is for users, developers, and admins new to Open OnDemand to learn, ask questions, connect, explore features, and exchange tips.

This group is for people who are Affinity Group Coordinators or who are considering being a coordinator and want to learn more.

Join the conversation and help shape the Open OnDemand Appverse, a collaborative ecosystem for hosting, developing, and sharing apps within the Open OnDemand (OOD) community.
