Who | Anyone interested in participating and hopefully contributing to the development, documentation, or testing of VIVO software, the VIVO-ISF ontology, or apps & tools to produce, visualize, or leverage VIVO data |
Cost | No registration fee, but you pay your travel, hotel, meals, and parking (if needed). We provide space, our local developers, and light refreshments |
Goals | Learning, training, gathering requirements, brainstorming ideas, writing documentation, improving the ontology, having fun and encouraging collaborative patterns of work related to VIVO that can continue between such events |
Extras | If you arrive by 2 pm Sunday, we are planning a Finger Lakes Winery excursion for the afternoon, followed by meeting up at the Ithaca Beer Company Taproom for dinner at ~6:30 pm. The Ithaca Beer Company is on Route 13 just west of Ithaca – look carefully for the sign just past the intersection of Routes 13 and 13A (Google Map). |
As part of graduation from incubator status with DuraSpace, the VIVO Project needs to grow our base of committers and contributors, defined as people who submit new code, bug fixes, documentation, sample data, tests, ontology changes, applications such as the Harvester that generate VIVO RDF from other sources, apps and visualizations that use VIVO data, and tools that make any part of creating and sustaining your VIVO easier. We see another hackathon building on Chris and Ted's March, 2014 Hackathon at Duke as a good way to encourage involvement as well as to make progress on a number of fronts, collectively and individually.
