Re: Hackatathon: 27th June! Let redo ReScience C.

[Etienne B. Roesch]

Hi,

I am in. I have used both nix and guix, but I do consider myself a beginner. I am also a plain old researcher in neuroscience, albeit with formal training in software engineering. As such I think I would find it more valuable to spend time figuring out the best way to describe "a best practice" for people like me, onboarding newcomers, and write documentation, rather than figuring out why a Makefile doesn't compile and computer says no. I am also happy to join more experienced users, of course, and follow the flow.

I have timeblocked the whole, and I am relatively free of my own movement, but I can't promise I wouldn't be dragged into some boring meetings. I live in the UK (+1h), and speak English and French. :D

Hi,

It's time to run the second Reproducible Research hackathon!  The first
one was from... 2020 [1], already!

The date: *Tuesday June, 27th*.  Start: 9h30 (CEST) End: 17h30

The plan is to discuss and pick some topics from 9h30 to 10h using one
BigBlueButton instance (link provided later).  Then, let work together!
For the ones who want, they can continue to use BBB for discussing, and
others can synchronise using IRC (channel provides later).  Around noon,
before lunch break, we all will report our progress on BBB.  Afternoon,
repeat.  Last, we end with a discussion summarizing the successes or the
roadblocks and draw the lines of the experiment report.

Well, anyone could come with their own topic they want to redo.

We suggest to pick articles from the ReScience C journal [2] -- they
provide a high level of transparency about the materials required for
redoing, IMHO.

Who’s in?
