Proposal for GMOD NESCent hackathon
NESCent has funds to support a certain number of hackathons every year. We're thinking about proposing a GMOD hackathon for next spring (2010), in the March to May timeframe. It would have a focus on extending GMOD for evolutionary biology, and would probably propose funding for 10-15 attendees. Proposals are reviewed on a competitive basis.
Organizing Committee
Proposed Topics
- Alignment metadata
- Population diversity support for chado and associated application connectivity (a la GDPDM)
- Evolutionary phenotype data in chado
- SynBrowse compatibility with SAM data
- Chado change management, release process, schema versioning
Proposed Dates
May 2010?
First conference call, 2PM EST Feb. 12, 2010
Agenda
Please add/change items.
Purpose of the hackathon
The hackathon was proposed to bring more support for evolutionary biology into the GMOD toolkit. We should thinks of what current needs are not being addresses or adequately addressed and take care to keep the focus on this topic. Some ideas I have are:
- Better support for comparative genomics (mainly MSA but also other types) data and data visualization. For example, bringing GBrowse_syn up to the same standard as GBrowse, improving support for the data processing and loading, useing an ontology such as the multiple alignment ontology for critical meta-data not captured bycurrent MSA formats.
- Others...

- focus in on one or at most two implementation goals for the hackathon
- identify which type of person we need to invite
- start to develop a list of critical people to have there
- develop some action items and assign them to people
- drafting the proposal?
- securing the venue?
- NESCent has blocked out the second week of June or the last two weeks of July for us mckays 14:55, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
