Debian Med 2018 Sprint

Location, Date

  • February 10 (Saturday) - 12 (Monday), 2018
  • Pre-meetings + tutorials for locals already happen on Friday (9th).
  • Location: Barcelona, Biomedical Research Park, Marie Curie room (Friday - Sunday), Ramon Y Cajal Sala (Monday)

This is an informal co-working and co-learning event, participants are welcome to attend on the days that work for their schedule.

Participants of the sprint

Getting there

Barcelona is well connected. You will know how to get there. Should there be someone who is kind of new to this "travel alone to foreign countries where you do not know anybody and do not speak the language" thingy, traveling with too much luggage to carry or be there some other need for assistance then we can certainly arrange these individuals to be collected from the airport.

Hotel proposal

A couple of emails back and forth, the hotel to go for is

Otherwise, the hotel is full now. To join, check one of the typical hotel booking places and select something in the center. The meeting is directly at the sea side (as it should be).

Agenda

Ship more CWL descriptions in /usr/share/commonwl/ http://www.commonwl.org/v1.0/CommandLineTool.html#Discovering_CWL_documents_on_a_local_filesystem

For app that use <seqan/arg_parse.h> and that lack a curated CWL description:

  1. Generate a CTD description for each binary using the hidden --write-ctd option combined
  2. Convert that CTD to CWL with https://github.com/WorkflowConversion/CTDConverter

  3. Install that CWL description to /usr/share/commonwl as part of the package

Continue the packaging of popular CWL executors with full CWL v1.0.x support like Toil, Arvados, and Rabix Bunny.

Bring CWL workflows to Debian in their own right with automated testing.

Discuss Salsa migration from Alioth and the future of SVN.

Personal agendas

Tony Travis

  • Bio-Linux as an alternative platform for Debian-Med

Steffen Möller

  • RFD: What should our next task pages look alike, how does this compare with what the RRID providers and the CWL are doing?
  • RFD: How should Debian present itself at scientific conferences
  • RFD: What do we expect from our task pages?
  • RFD: What do Biomedical Workflows mean to us?
    • How do we support them?
    • How do we test them?
    • How do we display them?

Sascha Steinbiss

  • Coming up with some degree of automation for migrating repos to Salsa
  • (Revisiting Nextflow packaging, maybe with Paolo? -- less likely than expected)

Matúš Kalaš

  • Improvements to EDAM using the users' and potential users' feedback
  • Sketch out the support of EDAM-communities (e.g. EDAM-bioimaging)
  • Debian vs Debian Med vs Bio-Linux, and dev|b community vs scientists community: outreach, visibility, training, impact
    • PR: Wikipedia, Bio-Linux and Debian Med websites, mutual endorsements (with explanations and links) on websites and splashscreens where applicable

    • The next Debian Med paper:
      • EDAM and links to Bio- and OMICtools etc.
      • CWL and scientific workflows
      • Bio-Linux and training
      • Bioconda, ?BioContainers and HPC and training

      • Popularity statistics
      • Salsa, git, and accessiblity for contributors
      • Community building and grassroot effort
      • Tools comparisons? (aka "benchmarking")
      • ...
  • Attempt to propose an ELIXIR Debian "Community"? Worth the effort?
  • Any need to improve interface with the bioimage informatics community? (NEUBIAS is a great community network supported by EU COST)

  • Personal task: Add|update some EDAM annotations to EDAM 1.20 and EDAM-bioimaging alpha03 (or maybe even release alpha04 first)
  • How to license descriptions of software? (permisive vs copyleft, attribution, how to attribute?)
  • Persisting topic: (Any new ideas?) How to sync software descriptions between Debian (Med), Bio.Tools, NEUBIAS biii.eu, SEQwiki, etc.
