We are restarting nf-core office hours under a new name and broader scope: nf-core weekly Helpdesk on November 5th. These are weekly virtual drop-in sessions designed for nf-core users and developers seeking an opportunity to connect, chat, and work together.
When:
- Tuesdays, 2 PM Eastern Time
- Thursdays, 10 AM Central European Summer Time
Where:
During the summer we trialed the nf-core office hours. After gathering feedback, we decided to continue with them under a new name and broader scope: nf-core weekly Helpdesk
In these sessions, some of the nf-core maintainer team and other seasoned community members will be available to engage in discussions about your code, running pipelines, writing configs, or anything else related to nf-core and Nextflow. They will hang out in Gather during designated hours every week, ready to provide guidance and insights or just chat about your favourite pipeline.
Helpdesk sessions won’t be structured.
Things that might be discussed include:
- A specific concept doesn’t make sense and you’d like to talk it over
- You’re working on a component or pipeline, you’re stuck, and you’d like to get unstuck
- You’d like to swap code reviews with someone to get your PR merged
- You’d like to write an institution config and like some insights
- You can’t figure out how to run a pipeline
- You want to hang out with other Nextflow enthusiasts and get to know the faces behind the slack handles
The Helpdesk hours will take place in Gather, an online collaborate platform, kind of like Pokemon-meets-Zoom. You can join by following the Gather Town link here. For more information, see the Gather Town bytesize talk.
Please join the #weekly-helpdesk channel on the nf-core Slack to get reminders when sessions are about to start, and discuss the format / provide feedback.
