Hackatathon: 27th June! Let redo ReScience C.

Hackatathon: 27th June! Let redo ReScience C.

[Simon TOURNIER]

Hi,

It's time to run the second Reproducible Research hackathon!  The first
one was from... 2020 [1], already!

The date: *Tuesday June, 27th*.  Start: 9h30 (CEST) End: 17h30

The plan is to discuss and pick some topics from 9h30 to 10h using one
BigBlueButton instance (link provided later).  Then, let work together!
For the ones who want, they can continue to use BBB for discussing, and
others can synchronise using IRC (channel provides later).  Around noon,
before lunch break, we all will report our progress on BBB.  Afternoon,
repeat.  Last, we end with a discussion summarizing the successes or the
roadblocks and draw the lines of the experiment report.

Well, anyone could come with their own topic they want to redo.

We suggest to pick articles from the ReScience C journal [2] -- they
provide a high level of transparency about the materials required for
redoing, IMHO.

Who’s in?

Great initiative! Unfortunately, not a good date for me.

COMPUTO is now another good choice, for those looking for examples from
statistics:

Hi,

I am in. I have used both nix and guix, but I do consider myself a
beginner. I am also a plain old researcher in neuroscience, albeit with
formal training in software engineering. As such I think I would find it
more valuable to spend time figuring out the best way to describe "a best
practice" for people like me, onboarding newcomers, and write
documentation, rather than figuring out why a Makefile doesn't compile and
computer says no. I am also happy to join more experienced users, of
course, and follow the flow.

I have timeblocked the whole, and I am relatively free of my own movement,
but I can't promise I wouldn't be dragged into some boring meetings. I live
in the UK (+1h), and speak English and French. :D

I guess the goal is to make progress on providing Guix files that would
let us re-run code submitted in ReScience C papers (for instance).  In
doing that, old-timers like me can of course provide guidance to onboard
newcomers: this exercise is meaningful if we make it approachable to a
wider scientific audience.

We seasoned users (Simon, Konrad, myself, and anyone who feels
qualified) should prepare upfront to get a more precise idea of the
tasks involved and how we can onboard people.

Awesome.  :-)

BTW, the event will be in English but we can definitely onboard those
who might prefer to speak French or German.

Hi!

As an editor for resci, I of course welcome .scm files and scripts, as
examples that could be provided to future submissions. I would particularly
looove a bullet-proof .scm config for the editorial process, which... is
somewhat documented but has gaps: I have been working on this for one of
the submissions I am handling at the moment; at the moment, I have mostly
made sure to use guix for running the code submitted (python notebooks),
which I'll push to the author's repo, and have not *yet* moved to the
editorial process.

The above task I have started as editor overlaps completely with the theme
of the hackathon, I suppose ;) Happy to do just that and finally tick it
off my todo list. I am sure Nicolas will be pleased.
That may also create that opportunity to learn that I had in mind in my
previous email.

Also happy to serve as a guinea pig and help create onboarding procedures.
:)

Have an amazing week everyone!

Etienne

Is that for ReScience X? ReScience C is moving to a new platform, and
thus to a different editorial process, so it's not worth investing much
effort into the old one.

Cheers,

ReSci C… I have heard of the “new platform” for a while. Is there an ETA?

We are aiming for something like October. The new platform is ready and
being tested. Then we have to move over the content from the old one.

Cheers,
  Konrad.

Are you volunteering? ;-)

It could be nice if we can have a list of papers from ReScience C.
Then, it could helpful to spot out the tasks and how to start for
Guixifying the paper.

Well, I am pretty busy until Monday, 19th of June but I can dedicate
some time for preparing these tasks after this date.

WDYT about first collect some papers from ReScience C?


Cheers,
simon

Ludo, Simon,

I'll spare you the details, but I am organising a hackathon with students
from various campuses, in a few weeks, and I have decided to propose as a
project that we review the doc for guix, hoping that managing a (small)
horde of beginners will identify gaps and maybe produce useful
insights/content.
Any comment, recommendations, steer welcome.

Thanks for your talk Ludo this week, very cool!

[Simon TOURNIER]

Hi

Tomorrow, do not miss the second Reproducible Research hackathon
using Guix:

    *Tuesday June, 27th*.  Start: 9h30 (CEST) End: 17h30

Please join at 9h30 the BigBlueButton instance,

    https://bbb.inria.fr/cou-pmi-g09-ute

More details in [1].  Especially a PAD for keeping track of the plan and progress,

We suggest to pick articles from the ReScience C journal [2] -- they
provide a high level of transparency about the materials required for
redoing, IMHO.  The aim of the day is to learn altogether how to produce research
reproducible papers [3] using Guix.  The key points are:

 + writing the manifest file
 + describing the channel file
 
with various bonus points as archiving on Software Heritage.

Hi,

Please give a look at the last Hackathon about redoing published paper using Guix:

https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2023/07/reproducible-research-hackathon-experience-report/

Have a nice "summer".

Cheers,
