Mission

The U-BRITE hackathon is an intensive 2-day developers gathering event hosted by the U-BRITE informatics team. The primary goal is to help each of the scientific team in completing their scientific case studies by leveraging data hosted in the U-BRITE data portal and scripts/pipelines run in the U-BRITE analysis gateway. In addition, we will help teams with their final result sharing and publication through the use of U-BRITE expo repository. Lots of on-site tutorials, workshops, and Q&A will be provided. Each team is expected to have the whole development team be present on-site throughout the whole time periods. FREE boxed lunch for the 15 participants will be provided.

Preparation Self-Check Before the Hackathon
  • Complete the “U-BRITE Project Readiness” Form (Link) and make sure all data, scripts, and permissions for your project is set prior to coming to the hackathon
    • Data Portal
    • Analysis Gateway
    • Data Governance Policy
    • Expo Gallery
  • Review the Jupyter on Cheaha Quick Start tutorial (Link)
  • Bring a laptop computer with all the right tools
  • Bring your case study design
  • Be open to learn skills, solve your case study specific problems, code, debug, and show us what you have!

We expect every team to have completed the U-BRITE project readiness before the Hackathon to work on case studies. In case that some of you have not been ready or need to be ensure that you’re fully ready (or “compliant”), you’re invited to the Pre-hackathon Workshop on Sept 12th at 10am-4pm.
