The āMaintainers Minutesā aims to give further insight into the workings of the nf-core maintainers team by providing brief summaries of the monthly team meetings.
Overview
What was initially planned as a meeting focused on test data was unfortunately delayed due to key members being absent.
Maxime performed a full takeover and redirected the meeting into a presentation of the recently introduced RFC initiative from the core team. But before all that, Louis gave us a quick run down on the pytest to nf-test tests migration effort that he has been recently spear-heading with the help of many community members. A tools release is on its way, coming with lots of goodness.
Pytest to nf-test tests migration for nf-core/modules
As of the day the meeting was held, only one module and one subworkflow were left to migrate š±. So we are hoping to finally close this issue that was started two years ago.
A HUGE thank you :people_hugging: for everyone who contributed to this huge effort of adding nf-test to >1500 modules!
RFCs aka Request For Comments
This new initiative coming from the core team is meant to help formalize and present substantial ideas to improve the nf-core.
A discussion can be started on Slack, which can lead to an issue on nf-core/proposals, which in the end can lead into a Pull Request. For more information, please read the documentation. The important part is that we maintainers will discuss these proposals and coordinate with the core team to help port all of these to fruition.
nf-core tools
The next update is HAPPENING and weāre quite happy about it, as a lot of goodness is coming with it. Please get ready to read the blogpost about it that should be going out soon.
Maxime takeover
That is all for this Maxime takeover, this meeting was shorter than usual, as there were less issues to discuss than usual.
The end
As always, if you want to get involved and give your input, join the discussion on relevant PRs and Slack threads!
- ā¤ļø from your #maintainers team!
