The GA4GH Genomic Knowledge Standards (GKS) Work Stream will be hosting a hackathon immediately prior to Connect on Sunday, 30 March from 12:00 to 17:00 EDT and Monday, 31 March from 8:00 to 17:00 EDT. We invite software developers and data modelers committed to making ongoing contributions to GKS to participate in this highly interactive and collaborative technical session. To support the event, a $20 participation fee will be collected upon registration.
Registration is just $20! With only 30 spots available, registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register here ASAP to secure your spot. Only registered participants will be eligible to participate. We are requiring participants to attend both days for the full duration. If you cannot meet this commitment but still wish to participate, you will be added to a waitlist.
To propose a project, please submit your idea using our GitHub issue template. We encourage you to submit your proposal ASAP so others have a time to review your proposal before the event.
Check out the repository proposal tracker and express your interest in proposed hackathon projects with reactions on the top-level comment. If you want to see a proposed project clarified or otherwise revised, add a comment to the issue and get a discussion going!
Each proposal will have 1-2 minutes at the start of the hackathon to give a brief pitch. After the pitches, we will break off into smaller groups to focus on the proposals that generate the most interest and engagement.
Sunday, 30 March from 12:00 to 17:00 EDT
Monday, 31 March from 08:00 to 17:00 EDT
If you have any questions, please open a discussion here.
