Re: Please list your contributions to COVID-19 sprint as intput for my DebConf20 talk
Hi,
Have many thanks for this presentation. I think this is important for
us, and I think your presentation could mention why these
Covid-19-biohackathons of Debian are beneficial for Covid-19 research:
* for many contributors this may be the first contact with scientific
software and for all of us it is a challenge to see larger workflows
dissected into so many packages - directed by one's interest and
available skills one finds packages to contribute to the distribution
and is likely to also send patches upstream, which may be the seed for more.
* tests have spawned actions by upstream
* the DFSG are often not followed, especially since with github it has
become so easy to just create a fork. Our requests have triggered
upstreams to create pull requests and merge their efforts.
* you may want to give a quick estimate of the fraction of
non-bio-centric packages that we have added to the benefit of Debian at
large
Work continues to complete workflows
* it is a tree of dependencies - and we have yet to reach root
* need to inform upstream of packages once these are intesting and send
patches against their install instructions
* need to transition from packaging towards executing these workflows
and provide tutorials
Best,
Steffen
