The first open source tour is now posted!

In it, I interview Maxime Garcia (@gau) of NF-core (@nf_core) an open source project for building bioinformatics pipelines.

Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJB6_UL_49I

Transcript coming soon (I hope🤞definitely turns out to be the most labor intensive part)

I loved talking with Maxime and learning about nf-core. If you're interested in doing an open source project tour please DM me! More info here: https://social.coop/@shauna/115181669879846479

@gau @nf_core

It took more work than I anticipated, but I now have a transcript for this interview available on my website!

You can access it via the Relational Tech blog: https://relational-tech.com/blog/getting-to-know-nf-core-open-source-project-tours.html

It's also in my slowly growing list of resources: https://relational-tech.com/resources

I also spent some time creating excerpts from the longer interview which I'll post individually over the next few days, but if you can't wait, check out the "tour excerpts" playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxKgNMNncxw&list=PLu39e_f54w0P9fLlbr2X_e9R_iSdTzZrL

Getting to Know NF-Core (Open Source Project Tours)

Open Source Project Tours are recorded sessions where an open source maintainer functions as a tour guide to their project, showing me the lay of the land and answering my questions about how their design reflects the relationships and needs of contributors and users. In our very first project tour, Maxime Garcia shows us around nf-core, a community building build open-source Nextflow components and pipelines.

Are you part of an open source project with a community of users, contributors, and/or third party developers? I want to interview people about their projects with particular attention to how codebases, documentation, project management tooling, and community spaces are constructed. On these "project tours" we'll go through your project together, on video call, and talk about how the structure of the project influences, and is influenced by, your goals, culture, logistical constraints, etc.

In this brief excerpt of our longer interview, @gau and I talk about the symbiotic relationships between open source projects and community conferences, and how projects grow from organizing meetups at existing conferences to hosting their own, using @nf_core and #Python as examples:

In another excerpt from our longer interview, @gau shows off a custom bot that @nf_core uses to roll out syntax updates to over a hundred repositories. Plus, a brief discussion of laziness vs efficiency.

More excerpts from my #OpenSourceTour with @[email protected]! First, a brief demo of @[email protected]'s very cool CLI tool, and a discussion of how you should always reach out to an open source community before embarking on a major contribution: https://youtu.be/NDeP_k-ckFM Full video: https://youtu.be/CJB6_UL_49I Full transcript: https://relational-tech.com/blog/getting-to-know-nf-core-open-source-project-tours.html
