Plan B: hackseqRNA: COVID-19 Ultra-hackathon #23
Comments
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. |
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 PlanHey 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! |
What platform will we be using for the meeting? |
Google hangouts? Unless someone has another suggestion |
Can someone sort out the best option? |
Emre Erhan is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: HackseqRNA Meeting 6 Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 456 691 280 One tap mobile Dial by your location Meeting ID: 456 691 280 |
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. |
Might catch the first 15 minutes or so on Zoom, but need to leave rather soon today. |
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 |
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. |
@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? |
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" |
btw, the website doesn't reflect team lead time extension, the last one was March 13 |
We haven't updated any of the website yet, we just laid out the plan last night. |
@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. |
Correct, Stephen is on this : ) Pop on the slack for minor chat |
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 |
Okay, based on the above this is my current tasklist, if anyone knows any interested webdevs that would help a lot:
|
@lisancao: I can help with the COVID19 resources, ping me on the readme |
Great, I would like to change mine to lead if possible...will look out for it |
@NoushinN thanks for the help! You can find it here: https://github.com/hackseq/hackseqRNA/blob/master/COVID-19_Data.md |
