Plan B: hackseqRNA: COVID-19 Ultra-hackathon #23
Description
Activity
Hey @hackseq/hackseqrna_org Can we have a virtual meeting / conference call next Monday or Tuesday after work? We don't have to physically meet but we need to all have a good chat about what we want to do next.
I thought about it quite a bit and I think we may have a very good opportunity in the next few weeks to run a remote hackathon focusing on RNA/COVID. Lots of people are feeling like they can't contribute and if we can get a bunch of projects up and running then this will be something productive people can focus on and maybe even something productive that can be generated with this collective work-effort. I feel like we (as scientists) have a responsibility to try and understand this thing, it's just hard to figure out where to start. Let's find a few good jumping off points for people and go down the rabbit hole together.
- I’m down with that. Maybe use some of our extra funds from not having to book location and food to fund remote things J…On Mar 13, 2020, at 11:16, Artem Babaian ***@***.***> wrote: Hey @hackseq/hackseqrna_org Can we have a virtual meeting / conference call next Monday or Tuesday after work?

hackseqRNA CoV-2 Contingency Plan
Hey all, I outlined some thoughts I've had on the contingency plan. We're in uncharted territory but I think if we can discuss how to majorly re-think how a hackathon happens then I think we can create a lot of good with this.
The feeling I want us to project moving forward is that we as bioinformaticians are not helpless and can fight back and contribute to the pandemic effort.

Reacted by Emre ErhanWhat platform will we be using for the meeting?
Google hangouts? Unless someone has another suggestion
- Skype? Hangout has a 10ppl limit that we might hit if everyone joins. Or we could jump on the zoom bandwagon.

Can someone sort out the best option?
Emre Erhan is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Reacted by Artem BabaianMight catch the first 15 minutes or so on Zoom, but need to leave rather soon today.
Oh man, my apologies. It somehow went from 5:00 to 7:00 before I realized it -.-
Our lab has been drowning in COVID logistical nightmares and research planning
No worries @jenjaelin! This is secondary for everyone until we get some stability in our lives. Join the slack and we can chat, I'll get you up to speed.

Love the banner, can I share on social media?
First name: hackseqRNA; nickname: ULTRA COVID19btw, the website doesn't reflect team lead time extension, the last one was March 13
We haven't updated any of the website yet, we just laid out the plan last night.
Correct, Stephen is on this : )
Pop on the slack for minor chat
I'd suggest talking with Pete Kane from SVAI/Research to the People, the Japanese Biohackathon folks, Nick Loman, and Russ Altman about their COVID efforts as well! We'll all get more done if this is a united front.
Also, LMK when you're ready to go live and Ill advertise at biohackathons.github.io
Reacted by Artem BabaianOkay, based on the above this is my current tasklist, if anyone knows any interested webdevs that would help a lot:
- design interface for task submission and viewing, seek out team that can complete it (modeled after mechanical turk, kaggle)
- design task criterion, tracking for completed/in progress tasks and reward token system
- Work with bioFreelancers to create index of Bioinformatician reserves, includes a dedicated README, based on Emre's Bioinformatics Reserves above
- Create open dataset/curated COVID19 resources README for HackseqRNA, *almost completed
- Outreach to similar organizations once we get things up and running

Great, I would like to change mine to lead if possible...will look out for it
@NoushinN thanks for the help! You can find it here: https://github.com/hackseq/hackseqRNA/blob/master/COVID-19_Data.md
