How the hackathon works
The nf-core hackathons are not competitve. Instead, they are collaborative, community-driven events where participants work together on projects. Projects can be anything from adding new features to existing pipelines, to creating entirely new pipelines. You can bring your own favourite topic or choose from a list of open issues in the community. We try to group people based on the types of tasks that are being tackled, so that you can work with others who have similar interests.
For details of the schedule and topics, please see the nf-core website.
Hackathon socials
nf-core hackathons are not just about coding! We also have a lot of fun. We typically run things like a quiz, a bingo and have several small prizes for the winners. In addition to small social games and contests during the event, we also have a social evening.
This year the hackathon social event will be held together with attendees from the training event. We will be revealing the location and details of the social event closer to the time, but rest assured - you're in for a treat!
