+## Backup to External Disk
+
+### macOS
+
+macOS platform comes with Time Machine, a very easy to use backup feature. Time Machine backups can be set up as follows:
+
+1. Connect an external disk to your computer.
+2. Using Finder open up **/Applications/System Preferences** and Select **Time Machine**. <br/> 
+3. From the **Time Machine** main screen click **Select Backup Disk** 
+4. From the list select your external disk. It is also recommended that you select the option to **encrypt backups**. <br/> 
+5. If you opt for encryption you will be asked for an encryption password. You will need this password whenever you re-connect the disk to your computer or whenever you restart your Mac. You should keep this password safe using [Password Management software]({{ 'external/access/passwords' | relative_url }}). <br/> 
+6. Time Machine requires an apple-specific disk format to work. Your external disk may not be in this format (e.g. may be in exFAT format which is accessible both by Windows and Mac). In such a case Time Machine will prompt you to approve the erasure and re-formatting of your external disk (see below). If you do not want to re-format, you may [create a disk image]({{ 'external/integrity/encryption/file' | relative_url }}) on your external disk and then point Time Machine to this image. <br/> 
+7. After you select a backup disk, provide password and confirm disk format (if applicable), Time Machine will automatically start the backup process in the background. You may continue to work. You will receive a notification, when the first backup is complete. <br/> 
+8. If you want to initiate another backup manually, click the Time Machine logo in your menu bar and select **Back Up Now**. It is recommended that you enable the automatic backup feature of Time Machine. To do so, go to **/Applications/System Preferences/Time Machine** and select the option **Back Up Automatically**. <br/> 
+
+Official instructions for restoring your Mac using a Time Machine backup can be found [here](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250)
+
+### Windows
+
+Windows's offerings for backup has different names in different versions.
+
+* _Microsoft Backup and Restore_, which is available in [Windows 7](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-your-files) and [Windows 10](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17143/windows-10-back-up-your-files), allows backup of your entire system or selected folders/files on your computer.
+* _File History_, which is is available in [Windows 8 and 10](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/set-drive-file-history), provides an easy to use option with which you can backup select files/folders. _File History_ runs periodically, tracks versions of your files, and allows you to go back older versions.
+
+Before creating a backup, make sure that your backup drive is encrypted as a safety measure in case of disk loss or theft (see [howto page on disk encryption]({{ 'external/integrity/encryption/disk' | relative_url }})).
+
+The steps to switch **File History** on your computer is as follows:
+
+1. Connect an external disk to your computer.
+2. From the **Start** menu select **Settings/Update & Security/Backup**. <br/> 
+3. Click the "+" next to Add a drive. You'll see a prompt to choose an external drive, choose the disk you have connected.
+4. File History has now started archiving your data. An on/off slider will now appear under a new heading called **Automatically back up my files.** <br/> 
+5. By default, Windows 10's File History will back-up all the folders in the **User** folder. And it will run the backup on an hourly schedule. To change any of those settings click on More options under the on/off slider (see below). <br/> 
+6. In the **Backup Options** dialog, under the **Back up these folders.** you can remove existing folders and add new ones. **Important Note:** Make sure that any application that read/write your data files/folder are closed, when you're making this _File History_ configuration. <br/>

+## Backup to dropit.uni.lu
+
+The University of Luxembourg's cloud service [DropIt](https://dropit.uni.lu/) provides all staff with 100GB of storage.
+
+To use this service, first, visit [dropit.uni.lu](https://dropit.uni.lu/). You should be able to login with your university credentials. In case of login problems, request IT support using [ServiceNow](https://service.uni.lu/).
+
+Second, in order to create backups of your computer on DropIt cloud, you need to install a client application. The University IT Guideline [here](https://intranet.uni.lux/the_university/siu/Documents/Dropit%20client%20-%20configuration%20guide.pdf#search=dropit) provides the details on how to install this client application for macOS, Windows and Linux platforms, and also, how to configure the backup process on your computer.

You can make this edit on your own version (called a `branch`), and then request to merge your changes into the main repository (through opening a `merge request`).

+# How to get to the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine
+
+
+
+
+### 1. Arriving by plane at Luxembourg airport:
+The Luxembourg airport, called Findel, is 34 km away from the University Campus BELVAL where LCSB is located.
+You can take either taxi or public transport to reach LCSB.
+- **Via Taxi (110€ one way)**
+
+From Luxembourg airport you can take a taxi to BELVAL near the city Esch-sur-Alzette.
+Trustworthy taxi services: coluxtaxi (colux.lu; tel: +352 48 22 33); webtaxi (webtaxi.lu; tel: +352 27 515)
+*Price: ca 110€ one way (in Luxembourg taxis are very expensive!)*
+*Duration: 30 minutes (during rush hour 45-60 min)*
+
+Benelux taxi: the price from/to airport is about 85€. To take advantage of this offer, the taxi has to be booked in advance.
+www.beneluxtaxi.lu / +352 40 38 40 / reservation@beneluxtaxi.lu (please ask confirmation of the price)
+A map of the Campus BELVAL and how to find both LCSB buildings is shown below.
+
+- **Via public transport (free)**
+
+From Luxembourg airport you can take the bus to Luxembourg central train station using bus line 29 or line 16 and
+stop at "Central station (Gare Centrale)". For the timetable check the following links:
+line 29: http://www.vdl.lu/autobus_ligne29.html
+line 16: http://www.vdl.lu/autobus_ligne16.html
+
+From Luxembourg’s central train station, you will get a train every 20 minutes to BELVAL-Université where LCSB
+is located. Please see below "Arriving by Train" for all details.
+
+*Public transportation is free in Luxemburg!*
+*Duration: 45-60 minutes (including bus, train and walk)*
+
+- **Arriving by train from Luxembourg central station:**
+
+Take the train in direction of "Rodange" or "Petange".
+Your stop is called: "Belval-Université" station
+*Please note that public transportation is free in Luxemburg!*
+Duration: 35 minutes (including train and walk)
+A map of the Campus BELVAL and how to find both LCSB buildings is shown below. From Belval train station it's about a 5
+minutes-walk to either of our locations.
+
+### 2. Arriving by car:
+If you travel by car, please take the highway A4 in direction Esch-sur-Alzette, and stay on that road until it ends at the
+roundabout called "Raemerich". Do not leave the A4 too early! Simply follow the A4 until it ends, then follow the signs to
+"Belval" at the large roundabout. On the campus, unfortunately, there are no signs leading the way to the LCSB.
+Please use the following plan to orientate on the campus. The House of Biomedicine (LCSB I) is directly next to the old blast
+furnace site, close to the red Dexia buildings. The building is a bit hidden. It is a six floor modern white building. Biotech II
+(LCSB II) is behind the big outdoor parking, right next to ADEM (Agence pour le développement de l'emploi / Employment
+Development Agency) and across the street from Southlane Towers.
+*Duration: about 20 minutes from Luxembourg City or 30 minutes from Luxembourg Airport (without traffic jam).*
+
+##### Parking at Campus BELVAL
+Since Campus Belval is foreseen to be a green car-free Campus, parking may not be easy. Due to the constructions around
+our buildings, we currently cannot offer visitor parking. To park your car we recommend using one of the following. From
+either site it is less than five minute walk to either of our buildings.
+- Parking Square Mile
+Price: 0.70€/hour
+- Belval Plaza parking garage
+Price: first 3 hours free, afterwards 3€/hour (from 07:00 to 20:00) and 1€/hour (from 20:00 to 07:00)
+
+### 3. Arriving by bus:
+You can also arrive by bus from Esch-sur-Alzette or from Luxembourg City. Please visit www.mobiliteit.lu to select your
+travelling options.
+*Please note, however, that if you travel from Luxembourg City, the train is the preferred option.*

+# Sanitising Data Files
+
+In this lab card we list software that can be used to permanently delete **individual files** from storage. If you need to sanitise an entire storage device (e.g. laptop, external hard drive), this will be done for you by University IT Services, please create a ticket on [ServiceNow](https://service.uni.lu/) (using item **Catalogue/IT/Information Security Services** ).
+
+Table 2 lists software that can be used on different platforms for permanent file removal.
+
+|Platform|Instructions|
+|-----|------------------------|
+| macOS |For OSX versions prior to 10.11 (El Capitan) you may use the **Secure Empty Trash** option, which appears when right clicking on the Trash icon.|
+| |OSX version 10.11 (El Capitan) onwards, Apple has deprecated the **Secure Empty Trash**, as it is not effective on Solid State Drives (SSDs). The approach to be adopted on Macs is to [turn on disk encryption]({{ 'external/integrity/encryption/disk' | relative_url }}) for your entire disk, or to keep sensitive data files in [encrypted disk images]({{ 'external/integrity/encryption/file' | relative_url }}).|
+| Linux | Use the **shred** command, instructions can be found [here](https://www.lifewire.com/shred-linux-command-4094148).|
+| Windows | Use the **SDelete** command line utility, instructions can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sdelete).|
+
+Please note if your files reside on server-side storage then permanent file removal may not take full effect. This is due to (1) the storage redundancy features on some server platforms, or (2) automatic server backups. To get more information, and to request removal of backups, you may contact University or LCSB IT Support by creating a ticket on [ServiceNow](https://service.uni.lu/).

-
-### How to use the chemical cart? For which purpose?
-
-You can do carts of products or carts of flasks.
-Tick the cart button in the corresponding column in order to add your product/flask to the cart. It is not the cart for the purchase platform, only a list of product/flask that you can export and pool for any purpose. You may need it for a list of product to look for in the lab or for a group of label to print at the same time.

-
-## STOCK MANAGEMENT
-
-In order to have the updated inventory of the quantity of each chemicals we own in the laboratories, we need to label the flasks associated to each product and to localise them in the software. We only track the flask of the chemicals category. One flask corresponds to a batch, reason why it is mentionned entering a batch in stock.
-
-Each flask has a 2D QR code, the label is also named with a short name: **Group::** and incrementing numbers (used in case of issue with the QR code identification).
-
- <img src=" img/picture 25.JPG">
-
-The information displayed on the label are the name, the internal number, the expiration date, the creation date. A field is forseen for openind date hand-writing. The expiration date is the creation date + 4 years if no other infornation is available on the flask.
-
-Several flasks can be associated to one chemical product. Several sizes of flasks can also be associated to one product. This is why we encourage you to create chemical product without any information about the content size (like Sigma reference 89007-25MG should be 89007).
-
-The flask is created by support team at reception of the product with the associated action of printing the label. Owner of the flask still need to moove the flask from the reception storage place to the destination storage place, using the Quarks plateform or the mobile application.
-
-The flask location information and quantities are displayed for the group members only.
-
- <img src=" img/picture 24.JPG">
-
- When you enter a new batch in stock (meaning a new flask associated to a productuct reference) you need to fill the following information (* means mandatory field). We strongly recommend to track the batch number (lot number) of the flasks for quality purpose even if it is not a mandatory field.
-
-<img src=" img/picture 26.JPG">
-
-## LOCATIONS
-
-All the location for chemical storage has a 2D QR code as well.
-It is mainly used with the mobile application. In case of issue with the QR code, each location label is also associated to a label number as :number:
-
-<img src=" img/picture 27.JPG">
-
-STORAGE word is specified to differentiate storage place (fridges and freezers) from equipement identification. To add a new location please create a ticket in https://service.uni.lu.
-
-
-## What are the items categories displayed in the chemical product inventory?
-
-The cost categories displayed in the chemical inventory are chemicals, biological reagents, medication.
-
-**Chemicals**
-Any cost of chemical products for laboratories; powder and solutions
-
-**Biological reagents** (molecular biology + Cell culture)
-Any cost of molecular biology and cell culture products for laboratories, e.g. enzymes, antibodies, cell culture media, serum, biochemical reagents
-
-**Medication**
-Costs of all animal drugs and medicine used for research purpose to use by or on the order of licensed veterinarian
-
-### How to make the difference between chemicals and biological reagents?
-
-**Chemicals**
-
-Any Compounds, substances or mixture with a defined composition properties and not connected with the natural process of an living organism
-
-**Biological reagent**
-Compounds, substances or mixtures used to mimic biological living conditions and/or are produced in living organisms. Reagents connected with any kind of natural process of an living organism
-You can search product by categories if you need only to have the list of chemicals for example.
-
-**Subcategories are kits and media**.
-
-
-### Why did we include biological reagents and mediacation in the chemical inventory?
-
-In order to display the hazard scoring of the biological reagents or medication for risk analysis and to be submitted to safety approval if meeting the criteria.
-
-**Do we label the biological reagents?**
-Not for the moment. Only the flasks of chemical products need to have a barecode sticker. The flasks associated to biological reagent don't need a Quarks barecode.
-
-**How to manage the stock of biological reagents?**
-If for inventory and stock management purpose you need stickers, printers are available in the laboratories, you can use it to label biological reagents. Support will only take care of the labels for chemical products.
-
-The biological reagents ordered with the Quarks purchase platform will appear in the chemical inventory. To manage the stock, you can either choose to discard the biological reagent or to place it in a dedicated location. As soon as it is done it will not appear anymore in the dropdown menu of your flask management bar (purchase)
-
-<img src=" img/picture 4.jpg">
-<img src=" img/picture 5.jpg">
-
-**It is possible to import an exel file with a list of biological reagents that you would like to track in Quarks?**
-
-Yes it is possible, the exel file should be shaped the same way as the colums of the chemical products inventory.
-
-# How is organized the Quarks flow at LCSB?
-1) Ordering an article via the purchase platform in Quarks
-2) If it is a chemical, the product is automatically created in the chemical product inventory of Quarks. Biological reagents and medication are also automatically created in the chemical product inventory.
-
-3) Reception of the article by support team. If it is a chemical only, the label is printed and placed in a dedicated box.
-4) The buyer come to pick up the deliveries and the labels
-5) The buyer
-
- a. Use the Quarks website with the computer to enter the new batch number and final location of the product
-
- b. Use the Quarks application to enter the batch number and final location of the chemical products received (by scanning)
-
-# How are organized the Quarks devices?
-1) Computers of the lab or personal computers allow to access the website
-2) Scanners also called the TC20 allow to use the application of Quarks in order to move, discard or get information about a product by scanning its Quarks label in the laboratory. You need also to connect to the Quarks application while using your Uni credentials. It is connected to WIFI TEchnet.
-
-3) Tablets are used to reach the website or the application, from the laboratory
-4) Scanners and tablets have charging support to ensure it is always charged

-
-### What are the roles in Quarks?
-
-Quarks gives us the possibility to have different rights for each person, which are set up in a kind of profile, which are called roles.
-With those roles we can adapt what actions the person is allowed to do and what kind of changes can be save. Like this, each group gains more autonomy and a better control of their budgets.
-
-Those are the different roles possible in a research group:
-
-**Viewer**: only view orders from own group
-
-**Researcher**: place article in a cart and view orders from/for own group, create new article
-
-**Technician**: place article in a cart and view orders from/for own group, create new articles, receiving notifications on status of all orders
-
-**Budget responsible**: validate carts of own group, choose budget codes for orders, have an overview of the spending
-
-### How the newcomer is assigned to a group?
-
-After first log in in Quarks software, support team will attribute a role and a group to the newcomer. In case of special request, please use the ticketing system. https://service.uni.lu.

-
-## How to do a reverse inventory?
-
-To proceed to a reverse inventory of a location, you need to scan the storage QR Code and then to scan every single bottle of the location. Mobile application will summarise the flasks that are not correctly inventoried.
-
-# How is structured the purchase platform?
-
-<img src=" img/picture 39.jpg">
-
-ARTICLES are available from catalogs.
-
-Dynamic catalogs are available from SIGMA and VWR.
-Articles from Labcollector, with corresponding LIMS ID (internal code) are also imported in Quarks.
-
-## How to order from a new seller?
-
-In order to create a new seller, you need to request a SAP ID for this seller. Your order will be pending until the seller is created in SAP.
-
-## How to add an article in my favorites?
-
-Click on the yellow heart and the article will be saved in your favorites. If you want to visualise your favorites, you need to filter the articles wit the favorite filter on.
-
-## How to create an article ?
-You can create an article wit the creation button. If the reference exists already in a catalogs, then you will have the possibility to merge the articles.
-
-As soon as you have found or created your article, you can add it to your cart. One cart is dedicated to one group and one budget. You need to choose the team before to start your cart. This is a default option if you only belong to one group.
-
-It is not mandatory to choose your budget at this step. you can save your cart without budget. The budget validator will take care of filling and checking the information missing in such a case.
-
-## How to proceed with the fees?
-Explain the part with the fees-> needed to be added after creation of the article
-
-## How to place an order?
-**Carts** is an intermediate step between placing the orders in the lab and processing the order by the lab support team.
-
-The carts can be places by anyone in the lab, the budget responsible is going to check the order again and make sure that amount and budget used, are the correct.
-
-This leads to different states in the carts, which can also be searched for. ( see search area)
-
-**Draft**: cart has just been created and needs to be confirmed by the creator
-
-**Waiting for validation**: cart needs to be validated by a budget responsible
-
-**Transmitted**: the cart has been validated by a budget responsible of the team and has been transmitted to the orders
-
-**Refused**: the cart has been refused for a reason that must be identified while refusing
-
-## How to proceed an order?
-The different order states allow you to have informations about where is the order in the process:
-
-**Draft**: order has been created out of cart, first state after validation from budget responsible
-
-**Pending**: status after request validation from Validator ( Support team)
-
-**Validated**: order has been checked by lab support team and accepted
-
-**Confirmed**: order has been transmitted to Service now/SAP and PO has been created
-
- **Sent**: PO has been approved in Service now/ SAP and has been sent to supplier
-
-**Partially received/ Received**: reception status of order
-
-**Merged**: 2 or more orders with the same supplier and same budget are merged
-
-**Canceled**: order has been canceled or refused due to missing or not correct information
-
-**Waiting Safety approval**: chemicals/ biological reagents / medication with specific risks need to be approved by the safety team
-
-<img src=" img/picture 42.jpg">
-
-This process leads to different roles related to the purchase platform:
-
-**Buyer**: person creating and confirming the cart *Technician, Researcher, Budget Responsible*
-
-**Transmitter**: transmitting cart into an order after validation by budget responsible *Budget Responsible*
-
-**Validator**: accepting the order and further processing of the order *Support team*
-
-## How to receive an order?
-
-As soon as a new chemical product / biological reagent or medication product is ordered, the product is automatically created in the chemical inventory platform.
-
-At the reception of the article, labels are automatically created for chemicals only.
-
-In order to keep your inventory updated, you need to scan the QR Code of your product and to moove it from reception to the destination location.
-
-You can use the option "entering a batch in stock from an order" to choose the destination location and to enter the batch number/expiration date of your product", even if the label is already printed.

+# Godparents for Newcomers
+Please also consult the [checklist for godparents](https://howto.lcsb.uni.lu/?hr:newcomers:checklistGodparent).
+
+### Summary
+In order to help new employees to easily integrate in their new workplace and senior members to better know and understand the new colleague, each new employee will be assigned a "godparent".
+
+### What is a godparent?
+Being a godparent is a voluntary function within the LCSB.
+A godparent is as a person who, through its experience at the centre and in Luxembourg has gained an extensive knowledge about procedures, rules, corporate culture etc. and who desires to help others, advice new colleagues when they arrive in Luxembourg and who desires to build new relationships.
+### What should a godparent do?
+A godparent is free to organise and build the relationship with a new employee. However, the following task should be covered.
+* Welcome the new employee
+* Show the new employee around and introduce him/her to the team and to other LCSB/ Uni.lu members: most importantly to the administrative in order to provide a badge, office supplies…
+* Make sure that the new colleague receives and signs the Biosafety Information Pack, as all LCSB employees must be aware of the regulations and risks of the labs
+* Explain Uni/ LCSB policies and culture
+* Make sure the new employee is added to the relevant email lists. For this please [open a ticket at ServiceNow](https://service.uni.lu/sp), mentioning the name and **email address of the new employee** and the **email addresses of the required email lists** that he should be added to.
+* Make sure the newcomer gets access to ATLAS as appropriate.
+Duration of godparenting: Minimum 2 months and no longer than 6 months.
+### How to become a godparent?
+All LCSB members are eligible to become godparents. There are no minimal qualifications required, mentors must only work for at least 6 month at the Uni.
+However, in general HR in collaboration with the LCSB’s administration team will shortlist few potential candidates. Potential candidates shall be contacted and asked if they accept the function. In a case of refusal the next candidate on the list will be contacted.
+Preferred candidates for this assignment are members of the same unit or project, a relevant research field, or the same hierarchical level. To avoid conflicts of interest, in principle PI or superiors are to be avoided as godparents.

+# Onboarding new members at the LCSB
+
+## Purpose
+The LCSB regularly welcomes newcomers who have just joined one of the research groups or the support teams.
+The on-boarding process aims to ensure their smooth insertion within their group and within the LCSB.
+It completes the introduction at the Welcome Day of the university by providing information specific to the LCSB.
+On top of practical information, this process should convey the LCSB values and the way we all work together.
+
+
+## 1. Godparents
+When a new member joins the LCSB, his team should assign him a godparent who will guide him during the on-boarding process.
+The group PI are asked to nominate a senior member of the group as “god-parentâ€.
+The godparent should show the newcomer around the LCSB premises, introduce them to all the relevant LCSB staff (help for networking during social events), and take care of some of the early procedures such as:
+- prepare a desk
+- get a computer
+- get phone
+- show how to get office supplies
+- register for mail lists
+- explain Uni/LCSB intranet, services and [important links](https://howto.lcsb.uni.lu/?general:links)
+- introduce to the team
+- explain the lunch voucher system and where to get food
+
+
+## 2. Welcome meetings
+- **University Welcome Day**: The newcomers have to attend the University Welcome Day to get a general overview of the university and have their official picture taken for the website.
+- **LCSB Welcome meeting**: Once a month a two hours meeting is organised at the LCSB for the members who arrived recently. During the first part, a round table allow participants to introduce themselves and to place their “location sticker†on the LCSB map in BT2 staircase. Then, a member of the communication team presents the LCSB, its goals and values, and provides some practical information (who’s who, basic procedures, where to find answers, etc.). The second part is dedicated to security and safety (building evacuation, emergency exits, lab safety…).
+The participants also get a copy of the LCSB annual and research reports and the slides used during the meeting are shared. The newcomers receive a calendar invitation for this meeting, sent by the communication team.
+
+In order to introduce the newcomers to the whole LCSB team, the new members are mentioned in the LCSB newsletter (Photo, name, position and email address in the “Newcomers†section). They can also introduce themselves during the weekly team meeting at the LCSB.
+
+## 3. Checklist for administrative tasks
+
+- Get entrance badge at the Maison du Savoir (Security office on 2nd floor). Check with your team secretary what kind of access you have (rooms and hours) and how to update it if needed.
+- Get acquainted with your colleagues, especially your group, the group secretary and the administrative team. The godparent should show the new employee around and introduce them to the LCSB team.
+- Get access to the relevant mail lists (LCSB-Team + group list). The godparent should open a ticket in ServiceNow mentioning the name and the email address of the new employee and the required email lists that they should be added to.
+- Familiarise with different LCSB tools: ATLAS server (to get access, [open a ticket in service now](https://service.uni.lu/sp)), the regular meetings (team meetings, TGIaF, CETs), the lunch vouchers distribution, etc. The godparent should explain how things work at the Uni/LCSB (policies and culture).
+- Fill in the profile on [LCSB intranet](https://intranet.uni.lux/the_university/lcsb/lscb_internal/). Check that the information on the personal webpage on university website is accurate and that the newcomer is mentioned in LCSB people list and in the group member list on the website.
+- Set up the proper email signature and confidentiality disclaimer for your university mailbox: [Guidelines on the intranet](https://intranet.uni.lux/the_university/sc/Lists/Policies%20%20Procedures/DispForm.aspx?ID=9)
+- Order business cards through your group’s secretary if needed.
+- Read the biweekly LCSB newsletter and explore the intranet to stay up to date with what is happening at the LCSB. Send an email to the LCSB communication team if the newcomer hasn’t received it after a few weeks.
+- Complete your trainings to get further access to the labs. The godparent should make sure that the new colleague receives the Biosafety, Data Management and Data Protection Training before starting lab work, as all LCSB employees must be aware of the guidelines and risks.

+# Add a .gitignore to your repository
+
+The version control system git tracks all files in a repository.
+
+Sometimes, you do not want certain files or directories to be tracked, but fully ignored by `git`. These files or directories
+can include binaries, images, dependencies, log files, or analysis results. Also, hidden system files are usually picked up by `git`.
+
+The idea is to create a file named `.gitignore` that lists all the files and directories that should be ignored by `git`.
+
+For instance, in order to ignore all log files with the suffix `.log`, the content of the `.gitignore` file should be:
+
+```
+*.log
+```
+
+A common example is to ignore system files as well, such as the `.DS_Store` file:
+
+```
+.DS_Store
+```
+
+*Note:* Sometimes, you might not see the hidden system files. You can do so by browsing to the directory in the terminal and typing:
+
+```bash
+$ ls -lash
+```
+
+Once the `.gitignore` file has been created, you can add and commit the file as any other file in the `git`-tracked repository. A relatively complete collection of `.gitignore` templates can be found [here](https://github.com/github/gitignore).
+
+More information on the `.gitignore` mechanism can be found [here](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/saving-changes/gitignore).

+# Publish a repository
+
+By default, the repositories created on the LCSB Gitlab are private, i.e. they cannot be seen by anyone outside LCSB.
+
+In order to change the visibility of the repository, you can do so by browsing to `Settings` and then expanding the section on `Visibility, project features, permissions`.
+
+There, you can set the visibility to `Public`. It is important to note that the group must be public in order to change visibility of the repository.
+
+Remember to follow the [LCSB policy regarding code development](https://howto.lcsb.uni.lu/?policies:LCSB-POL-BIC-07). In case of questions, please do not hesitate to contact the [R3 team](mailto:lcsb-r3@uni.lu).

+# 10 ways to improve your English
+
+Francisco ARAGAON ARTACHO, former postdoc in the Systems Control group, has made a list of the ten most important points that helped to improve his English. In this article he shares them with you and explains what he means by each of them.
+
+**1. Believe improving your English is something very important**
+I think this is the most important point. If you don't believe a good written English is important, you will never improve it. So... why is it important? The way you write will give your reader a first impression about you. Even more, the reader will even get an impression about your personality (tidy / messy / arrogant / smart / knowledgeable / dumb). He / she probably doesn't know you, nor knows how good your ideas are. Don't give him / her a bad first impression: it will be hard to change his/her mind. While refereeing, I've directly rejected several papers because the English was terribly bad, or because it was full of typos. Nobody wants to read a text with many typos and which is clearly against the "golden rule" to never make a referee angry! Before submitting a paper / grant proposal, check it carefully. If one of your co-authors is a native English speaker, ask him / her to check the grammar of what you wrote. If not, ask a friend. If possible, wait for a week and read it again. You will probably discover that what you wrote is not as nice as you thought. You will find many typos and errors.
+
+**2. Read**
+Read as much texts in English as you can, especially novels. If you read good writers, perhaps (probably) something good will stick in your mind. Try to use their "fancy words and sentences" whenever it is possible.
+
+**3. Listen**
+I believe listening to music and watching movies / TV shows helped a lot to improve my English. Even during the most boring talk at a conference you may learn something good for your English.
+
+**4. Use synonyms**
+Synonyms are good. Avoid repeating words / structures whenever is possible. Use as many different sentence connectors as you can / know. Your text will look better and will be nicer to read. I normally use [Thesaurus](http://thesaurus.reference.com/).
+
+**5. Use a dictionary**
+While writing, I always have a dictionary open in my browser. I especially like [wordreference.com](http://www.wordreference.com/), which even has the British / American pronunciation for many words.
+
+**6. Check what Google says about your sentences**
+If you're not sure about a sentence you wrote, google it (or part of it), using quotation marks. If there are only a few hits, your sentence is probably wrong. If you doubt between two versions of the same sentence, the one with more results in Google is probably going to be the correct one.
+
+**7. Write short sentences**
+Long sentences make the reader feel exhausted, so do your best to avoid them. Try to punctuate correctly: use commas, colons, and semicolons.
+
+**8. Write short paragraphs**
+In a similar way to the previous point, long paragraphs are exhausting. I remember that when I was a kid I hated books without "white space" (breaks), and I guess I still have some similar feeling. A text with short paragraphs always looks easier to read at first glance. Additionally, while aiming to write short paragraphs, you will be forced to structure your ideas (next point).
+
+**9. Structure your thoughts through the text**
+Structure your ideas to explain yourself. It is very important to use sentence connectors, as for example: moreover, however, besides, although, nevertheless, in spite of, then, therefore, thus, hence, whence, on one hand / on the other hand, additionally, further, furthermore, otherwise...
+
+**10. Ask people to correct you**
+People (wrongly) believe that it is impolite to correct others when they're not speaking in their native language. I guess this happens because no one likes to be wrong, and even less to be pointed out for being wrong. At the beginning, when I started learning English, people used to correct me very often. Unfortunately, as soon as my English was "good enough", I noticed that I was getting less and less corrections, despite my English wasn't that good. For example, only last year my Aussie housemate told me that I was pronouncing "yellow" wrong (and, probably, every single word starting with "y" - pronouncing it like "j" in "jelly") because he wanted to piss me off. At that moment I guess he was disappointed to see that I liked to be corrected, but he started telling me my mistakes since then. Thus, if you want to be corrected you'll need to ask the others to do it, and remember to thank them with a not-very-fake-looking smile when they do it :).

+# Publishing a tool in *bio.tools*
+
+First, *bio.tools* serve two main purposes:
+
+- dissemination of your tools
+- collecting systematic and reasonable statistics about the available
+ software for many purposes, including data science and performance reports
+
+To get your contents in, you need to fill an application and get an account.
+Filling out the application is particularly straightforward.
+
+After you get the account, you can click "Add content" in the "Menu" on the top
+right, then go through around 10 tabs that allow you to fill lots of
+interesting information about your tool, and finally submit it, which makes the
+contents immediately visible.
+
+This card collects some reminders about what you should not forget while
+submitting the tool, perhaps useful as a checklist.
+
+## General tips
+
+### Use search and consult the curation guide to resolve ambiguities
+
+The guide is currently here:
+https://biotools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/curators_guide.html#summary-group
+
+It includes helpful and authoritative guidelines for almost all fields that you
+can fill, including examples.
+
+As the last resort when you do not know what to do with a field, you can try
+search suggestions in the structured search box above, and try to be at least
+consistent with the rest of the database. In the search box, type in a single
+letter, wait for a moment (or press arrow down), choose the annotation
+category, and see what others have used.
+
+### Add a "backup" maintainer
+
+This may remove a lot of unnecessary workload from you, and will help everyone
+at times when you are not available. (Or, at least, reduce the stress levels.)
+
+### Add _many_ links to all types of documentation
+
+This helps in two ways:
+- The search engines will be able to categorize and index your contents better,
+ possibly giving more helpful links to your tools.
+- Users of *bio.tools* will be able to explore the most relevant parts of your
+ documentation very quickly, helping them to make a faster decision about
+ using your tool. For example, it is often a relief to quickly see that a
+ bioinformatics tool has an explicit step-by-step tutorial, and that a web
+ visualization framework has a complete useful API reference.
+
+Include the (interesting) relations to other tools. This adds a bit more
+interesting data to both search engines and statisticians who process
+*bio.tools* content, and gives an documentation of possible "use-cases".
+
+## Proper labeling
+
+### Choose the bio.tools ID correctly
+
+As the name says, the "Persistent biotoolsID" cannot be changed. It will be
+permanently displayed as an identifier in almost all content that is
+autogenerated from *bio.tools*. For users, that concerns mainly the URLs, so
+you may want to apply similar formatting guidelines as for URLs (use hyphens
+`-` instead of underscores `_`, do not use capital letters, ...).
+
+### Add your tool to proper collections
+
+Collections group the results of various larger cooperated (or loosely
+organized) efforts, such as "Galaxy tools", "Parkinson disease research", and
+"3D BioInfo".
+
+If your tool is related to ELIXIR, you should fill in the correct ELIXIR node,
+platform, community _and_ collection. Remember to:
+
+- Add _all_ involved ELIXIR nodes.
+- **Add your tool to the node-specific ELIXIR collections.** For LCSB, that is
+ usually **ELIXIR-LU**. This is counter-intuitive and seems duplicate to the
+ categorization by ELIXIR nodes, but:
+ - at least 2 nodes use collections labels instead of node labels to scrape
+ data about their tools
+ - there is search support only for the collections; currently (March 2021) it
+ seems that you cannot easily search for tools by ELIXIR nodes
+
+### Fill in the tool "Function" very verbosely
+
+The main reason for categorizing tool functions is to provide a systematic way
+for listing the tools in topic-based catalogues that can be browsed by users.
+
+The categories and data formats available for describing your tool function
+rarely give a precise match. That is okay, you can choose a broader category.
+
+Use all categories that match even a small part of your tool; it will
+potentially help *bio.tools* users to find your tool even if they do not know
+what precisely they are searching for.
+
+Selecting a very specific category ("deeper" in the topic tree) also implies
+all "parent" categories, so you do not have to be afraid of over-specification.
+*Bio.tools* search box will automatically include your tool in searches for the
+broader categories.
+
+## References and publications
+
+### Be comprehensive about publications
+
+Add _all_ publications where you described, showcased, and benchmarked the
+tool. Also add preprints.
+
+There are several purposes for the precise publication tracking:
+- the users may (and often will) sort the tools by the citation count, likely
+ trying the most tested approach first
+- the publications provide an additional form of documentation (often more
+ colorful than the API docs)
+- the links and citation counts provide a nice, easily available statistic
+ about ELIXIR performance
+
+### Use the Credit tab
+
+The purpose of the "Credit" tab is not immediately obvious -- basically, you
+can credit anything that has helped you with creating the tool. This is
+currently used for at least 3 purposes:
+
+- systematic tracking of non-ELIXIR collaborators (add ORCIDs)
+- listing the **industry partners**
+- listing affiliations to particular research institutions
+ (**remember to add LCSB**)
