Collecting list of successful Open Source communities #13

Closed bgruening closed 8 years ago

bgruening commented 8 years ago

The idea is to have a list of communities and write a short paragraph about them. Moreover, we can contact each of them to get opinions and solve: https://github.com/aidanbudd/bosc2015/issues/9

Please feel free to add more.

aidanbudd commented 8 years ago

By default, I'd limit it to code-producing communities i.e. not including e.g. educational ones listed above. I guess that's because I'm interested, this time, in being more focused than a previous more general look at bioinformatics communities http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003972 , looking to provide more specific advice/experience for people working on writing code together.

But that's just my preference.

aidanbudd commented 8 years ago

I've added the list above to a file in the repo, might make it easier to collect/edit a list of the communities in listOfOSBCs.md - Bjoern, if you rather collect it here in this issue, please go ahead and remove the file

bgruening commented 8 years ago

@aidanbudd this is ok with me. Please feel free to remove the educational once.

aidanbudd commented 8 years ago

Alrighty - just done that.

ghost commented 8 years ago

Just to be clear (for myself & other readers) - the list can include either Bioinformatics or Cheminformatics open-source software, and/or open-source workflow management systems (e.g. Galaxy, Taverna).

Can we use open-source projects like https://ropensci.org/blog/ as examples? :)

bgruening commented 8 years ago

I would say yes! But I would also add (and now it gets tricky) that these projects also need to be successful in creating a community. Imho, there is a difference in great open-source projects and great community driven open-source projects.

@sjackman, happy to add those to the list for you and/but if you were up for it, would be great if you could propose it via fetch/pull requests - I hope that by trying to do most of the collaborative writing that way, we're less likely to miss out including people's contributions. But if you prefer me to add it myself, just let me know, and I'll do it.

bgruening commented 8 years ago

Awesome! Looking forward to @sjackman thoughts about building communities. @aidanbudd If we add this we should also think about the other deployment platforms, DebianMed for example.

Done. https://github.com/aidanbudd/bosc2015/pull/25

Hi, I maintain a list of packages for the Julia and Python programming languages. Can I add them to the list, for example: BioJulia/JuliaBio, etc.. and submit a PR? Thanks!

aidanbudd commented 8 years ago

Hi @svaksha - you need to follow me on Twitter for me to be able to send you a DM to share email addresses - I've followed you.

Closing this issue, to consolidate discussion of which communities to include/reach out to for the manuscript into one issue i.e. #38
