Location
Northwestern University Chicago Campus
in Downtown Chicago, IL
Building/Room TBA
Transportation
Airports
There are two major airports in Chicago: Midway and O'Hare. Both are about equally convenient to Northwestern's Chicago Campus
Driving
Be aware that above driving directions for South and East travel take you through I-90/94. This stretch of interstate is currently undergoing major construction and you might encounter significant delays. See http://www.danryanexpressway.com/ for more information and suggested alternate routes.
Lodging
WE ARE WORKING ON A ROOM BLOCK. CHECK BACK SOON.
Leading candidate goal
Several people have expressed interest in tuning the Apollo<->Chado interaction. With that in mind, I would like to propose this goal: to produce a VMware image that has Chado and associated tools, Apollo, and MediaWiki with the Table Editor, with the point of producing a server that could be picked up and used for a nascent model organism database for use with community annotation.
Other things that would make sense to put in the VMware image but are secondary to the goal are GBrowse and GMODWeb. Other things that could be worked on during the hackathon are rebuilding rpm packages for biopackages.net, tuning MODWare for the newer Chado schema, and tuning PostgreSQL to get better performance.
Possible Goals
While definitive goals have not been established yet, here are some possiblities. Please feel free to add more.
- Improving Apollo-Chado round tripping (documentation, examples, tutorials, configuration files, installation procedures, etc)
- Beginning work on Apollo-Ensembl round tripping
- Merging the ClassDBI classes the ModWare and GMODWeb use (Chado::AutoDBO and Turnkey::AutoDBI)
- Giving a small MOD a 'GMOD make over'
- Work on perl XML::DOM tools for writing ChadoXML
- Building VMware instances for distribution
- Rebuilding RPM packages for updated GMOD software
- Polishing a gmod 0.5 release
- Modify Apollo to annotate with GO terms and enable chado round tripping of feature_cvterms
- improving analysis plugins for chado via modware or gbrowse
- performance tuning.
- community wiki development/wiki table editor work
After this list has matured a little longer, I can put a poll on the gmod blog site (http://blog.gmod.org/) which has nice utilities for polls, just to get a feeling for what the community thinks.
