add Molecular Nodes/MDAnalysis to hackathon #12

Open orbeckst opened 12 months ago

orbeckst commented 12 months ago

@yuxuanzhuang started planning the Molecular Nodes/MDAnalysis Blender hackathon session in discord: #project-proposals: MDA/MN Collaboration

I've compiled some of my thoughts on MN hackathon session (get password from @yuxuanzhuang or discord thread) :

We will be conducting the session from 10:00 to 15:00 WEST on September 29th. @BradyAJohnston are welcome to chip in but I do understand if you can't participate for the entire duration.

Currently, I think there are several potential goals to consider:

  • Working on an optimal API
  • Improving the code's performance.
  • Creating a prototype to visualize analysis results.
  • Better timeline management.
  • Select atoms within Blender (which may require an advanced level of Blender knowledge).

Add necessary materials to the hackathon/blender directory. You can also rename it from blender to MolecularNodes but then you need to change links in README.md file(s).

Quick note for working on this repository: If you are just touching files in the blender directory or do minor fixes in the READMEs then you don't need to wait for a review. Just make your changes. If you're modifying someone else's stuff, do a PR + wait for a review (just ping someone like @fiona-naughton (who is in charge of hackathon things) @jennaswa (for overall organizational things) @orbeckst (if you just need someone quickly) or ask on discord).

In your outline I saw that you're also preparing a video for participants to watch in advance to get set up. I think that's a great idea. Can you raise a separate issue for that?

We would just put videos up on YouTube in the (very tiny) MDAnalysis channel.

@orbeckst could I get write access to put some info into the blender README?

orbeckst commented 12 months ago

@BradyAJohnston I added you to the repo with write access.

@yuxuanzhuang we are planning to send out instructions to attendees on Monday - are there any further changes you wish to make ahead of this?

yuxuanzhuang commented 11 months ago

just waiting for the YouTube link and I think it's good to go!

BradyAJohnston commented 11 months ago

I've added some more notes on explaining data flow, and will add some more in the next day or two as well, will hopefully help people get started interfacing with Blender.

@BradyAJohnston - for the sake of ensuring we don't have things go out of synch across multiple editors, could you please commit via PR rather than directly to the main branch?

orbeckst commented 11 months ago

@IAlibay just fyi when we started work on the repo I gave the guideline above https://github.com/MDAnalysis/UGM2023/issues/12#issuecomment-1714766299 to make sure things were moving along quickly.

IAlibay commented 11 months ago

@orbeckst that's fair, sorry I didn't see that. However, given how close we are to the UGM, could we reconsider this policy?

orbeckst commented 11 months ago

Sure, just communicate to everyone who’s working on the repo.Am 9/24/23 um 09:08 schrieb Irfan Alibay @.***>: @orbeckst that's fair, sorry I didn't see that. However, given how close we are to the UGM, could we reconsider this policy?

I've added branch protection so folks shouldn't be able to commit directly unless they force it.

Yep apologies @IAlibay was following earlier instructions, will ensure it goes via PR.
