hackseqRNA: COVID19 Ultra-hackathon

Core Objectives

1) Establish a collaborative and interdisciplinary network of bioinformaticians and coders with diverse skills to assist research labs working on SARS-CoV-2 to analyze data at no cost. 2) Accept community-led projects on SARS-CoV-2 and RNA-biology 3) Organize immediate scientific efforts (via hackathon projects)

Logistics Outline [German]

Team Leaders / Projects [ Stephen + David ]

Project Recruitment

Bioinformatics Reservers [ Emre + Lisa ]

Participant Recruitment

Sponsors [Justin is the man]

Issues which may arise

Invite to Slack channel for non-essential comms

Hey @hackseq/hackseqrna_org Can we have a virtual meeting / conference call next Monday or Tuesday after work? We don't have to physically meet but we need to all have a good chat about what we want to do next.

I thought about it quite a bit and I think we may have a very good opportunity in the next few weeks to run a remote hackathon focusing on RNA/COVID. Lots of people are feeling like they can't contribute and if we can get a bunch of projects up and running then this will be something productive people can focus on and maybe even something productive that can be generated with this collective work-effort. I feel like we (as scientists) have a responsibility to try and understand this thing, it's just hard to figure out where to start. Let's find a few good jumping off points for people and go down the rabbit hole together.

jenjaelin commented 4 years ago

I’m down with that. Maybe use some of our extra funds from not having to book location and food to fund remote things

hackseqRNA CoV-2 Contingency Plan

Hey all, I outlined some thoughts I've had on the contingency plan. We're in uncharted territory but I think if we can discuss how to majorly re-think how a hackathon happens then I think we can create a lot of good with this.

The feeling I want us to project moving forward is that we as bioinformaticians are not helpless and can fight back and contribute to the pandemic effort.

@hackseq/hackseqrna_org See you all tonight at 5:30!

emreerhan commented 4 years ago

What platform will we be using for the meeting?

ababaian commented 4 years ago

Google hangouts? Unless someone has another suggestion

bfjia commented 4 years ago

Skype? Hangout has a 10ppl limit that we might hit if everyone joins.

Or we could jump on the zoom bandwagon.

Can someone sort out the best option?

emreerhan commented 4 years ago

The biggest issue is a 40min limit on meetings with more than 3 people. If it takes longer than that we can just create another meeting.

alexsweeten commented 4 years ago

Might catch the first 15 minutes or so on Zoom, but need to leave rather soon today.

jenjaelin commented 4 years ago

Oh man, my apologies. It somehow went from 5:00 to 7:00 before I realized it -.-

Our lab has been drowning in COVID logistical nightmares and research planning

ababaian commented 4 years ago

No worries @jenjaelin! This is secondary for everyone until we get some stability in our lives. Join the slack and we can chat, I'll get you up to speed.

ababaian commented 4 years ago

@hackseq/steering_committee_2016 @hackseq/steering_committee @hackseq/hs18_org @hackseq/hs19_organizers If you have a free moment please see the above contingency plan we're enacting for hackseqRNA. Please leave your comments/thoughts, we're going to take hackseq to some new and exciting places!

Love the banner, can I share on social media? First name: hackseqRNA; nickname: ULTRA COVID19

ababaian commented 4 years ago

Not yet @NoushinN! We're holding off all promotion until we get the first steps sorted out.

I think for the tag I'm leaning towards "hackseqRNA: COVID-19 Ultra-hackathon"

NoushinN commented 4 years ago

btw, the website doesn't reflect team lead time extension, the last one was March 13

ababaian commented 4 years ago

We haven't updated any of the website yet, we just laid out the plan last night.

bfjia commented 4 years ago

@ababaian should we reach our to Dr. colijn at SFU since we are making this COVID19 focused. maybe we can pull her onto the planning committee somehow. She recently had a hackathon in feburary focusing on COVID19

ababaian commented 4 years ago

Correct, Stephen is on this : )

Pop on the slack for minor chat

DCGenomics commented 4 years ago

I'd suggest talking with Pete Kane from SVAI/Research to the People, the Japanese Biohackathon folks, Nick Loman, and Russ Altman about their COVID efforts as well! We'll all get more done if this is a united front.

Also, LMK when you're ready to go live and Ill advertise at biohackathons.github.io

lisancao commented 4 years ago

Okay, based on the above this is my current tasklist, if anyone knows any interested webdevs that would help a lot:

NoushinN commented 4 years ago

@lisancao: I can help with the COVID19 resources, ping me on the readme

NoushinN commented 4 years ago

We haven't updated any of the website yet, we just laid out the plan last night.

Great, I would like to change mine to lead if possible...will look out for it

lisancao commented 4 years ago

@NoushinN thanks for the help! You can find it here: https://github.com/hackseq/hackseqRNA/blob/master/COVID-19_Data.md
