Hello 🙂 Regarding the hackatron I saw that the nf-core webpage says: The nf-core Hackathon will only be held in-person. Will we still use the same days virtually on our own? Or are you joining in Barcelona? I recruited Felix a new phD student in our group, who would join also 🙌 (He build his own nextflow splicing pipeline so he has some nextflow experience as well)

This is nice!! We use nf-core/rnasplice so I am a bit curious which application it does not cover (but it can stay secret of course 😉 ) I guess I looked a the price and gave up on the idea of going in person... 😓 But an inofficial online one we could try!

The Splicing pipeline is using Majiq for splicing analysis (not a secret, just our favourite tool from Joseph Barash's group), I think at some point Felix might also add Majiq to nf-core/rnasplice ... but it seems a bit hard to get in contact to the maintainers

Hey, yes I'm very keen for this, thank you Melina! For the unofficial hackathon to work on the pipeline, which dates would work best? We can keep to the original 15/16th if that works best for everyone, only caveat being Charlotte is away those days and I have teaching in the afternoon of the 16th. Alternatively we could do earlier in the same week 13/14th, or the week after? If anyone else is interested then please let me know, everyone welcome and we can split into different working groups if we have enough topics/people 😊

Cool 🙂 For me 21th/22th/23th is a bit better then 13th/14th, but I could also join a least half-days on 13th/14th

Hi, I have space in my calendar on all the suggested dates.

great! @Svetlana L, would you be able to attend any of these? 🙂

the 21/22/23 does not work for me anymore

Sorry, I was on vacation, in prinicple yes

So 13th + 14th? Or should we maybe start a poll?

Tuesdays are always only half-days for me due to regular meetings, Wednesdays I have more time, I am there all of October

Shall we say half days on the 13th and the 14th? What time are your half-days Melina/Svetlana?

(my Tuesdays just got switched with 2 extra meetings biweekly, thus 13th/27th is out)

On 4th I can only join in the morning. But I think thatss fine. I can then also continue a bit later.

perfect! I'll send a calendar invitation and a schedule in due course. Thanks everyone 🙂

Hi all! Unfortunately, tomorrow between 10-11.30 CET I have meetings and cannot be online 😞 I will shortly mention my background and goals here and would be joining one of the groups late. Would appreciate a lot if you had a Notion/shared Google doc/any other co-edited document with the notes from the introductions and what the groups will be working on 🙏 • My background: biologist, coming from wetlab, did a couple of hybrid postdocs focusing on PAR-CLIP (both library prep and analysis: ran Paralyzer/omniCLIP). Currently: part of "information infrastructure" central project at Uni Cologne (crc1678.uni-koeln.de) - doing data management and analysis for ~ 20 groups working on RNA and translation fidelity, some doing iCLIP/eCLIP (Huppertz). • Goal for the hackathon: get a stable, citeable 2.0.0 release of the pipeline • Additional personal goal for the future: add an additional, optional PAR-CLIP module (probably with pcliptools). • What I plan to work on in the hackathon: I have just seen the merged PRs which added a lot to the feat-2-0 branch and only got a quick overview. I tried running -profile test and it failed 😅. Additionally, I needed to use an older nextflow version. So I could: 1. Bring test config to run 2. Help porting to the latest nextflow version. With regard to the last point: should we all agree on exact nextflow and nf-core tools versions to use? I made an environment with nextflow: 26.10.4, nf-core: 4.2.1. See you tomorrow! Cheers, Svetlana

Hey! Thank you so much - will absolutely make some notes on a shared doc. Thanks for testing - we definitely do need to update the basic tests. I've been running in 25.10, so porting to the newer version would be really useful. See you tomorrow!!
