Topics for the hackathon sessions during the EuBIC 2020 Developer's Meeting can now be proposed!
We are currently crowd sourcing projects to connect bioinformaticians. You can vote for your favorite projects and international task forces will be created around the most successful proposals. Projects with most votes will be presented at the Developer's Meeting and included in coding sessions!
These projects can include, but are not limited to:
- Tools
- Extension of existing bioinformatics tools under the guidance of their original authors
- Development of novel bioinformatics tools to solve open problems - Benchmarking
- Compilation of gold-truth datasets
- Collection of reference algorithmic implementations
- Specification of benchmarking criteria - Workflows
- Definition of formal protocols
- Development of tutorials for bioinformatics software usage - Data analysis
- (Re)analysis of publicly available proteomics datasets
Hackathon project proposals can be submitted by creating an issue on GitHub. The project proposal submission deadline is September 18, 2019.
Please describe your project proposal in sufficient detail. Project proposal submissions should at least include the following information:
Project description:
- A general abstract of up to 200 words describing the goal of the project and why it is well suited as a community project.
- A (high-level) project plan detailing the work to be conducted. This primarily includes tasks that will be tackled during the developer's meeting, but we encourage you to also think about a follow-up strategy.
Technical details:
- The programming language(s) that will be used.
- (If applicable) any existing software that will be featured.
- (If applicable) any datasets that will be used and their availability.
Contact information:
- Your name and contact information.
To ensure smooth running of the developer's meeting we mandate that anyone who submits a project proposal will be responsible for this project if it gets selected for inclusion into the meeting program. Submitters commit to registering for the EuBIC 2020 Developer's Meeting and will be the main contact person managing the project. This may include some preparatory tasks prior to the Developer's Meeting such as collecting and distributing relevant datasets or coding guidelines and coordinating tasks during the Developer's Meeting.
If you are interested in one of the submitted project proposals please indicate your support for the corresponding GitHub issue. You can simply vote for your favorite projects or leave comments to the most interesting proposals. When discussing an extension of a project proposal please make sure to include all relevant information in this discussion as mentioned above.
Project proposals will be selected for inclusion into the meeting's program by the scientific committee, and international teams will be created to implement the solutions envisioned. Selection criteria include the scientific merit of the proposal and the community interest.
