Hackathons

Geomstats core developers organize several hackathons a year, with the following goals:
  • Train new users, e.g. pairing a new user with an experienced Geomstats developer.
  • On-board new contributors, e.g. on collaborative coding practices.
  • Foster new collaborations and strenghten existing ones
  • Bring the community of geometric statistics and learning together.
Interested? Feel free to:
  • Join the next hackathons, either remotely or in person (see section below)
  • Contact Geomstats core developers via Slack to ask about organizing a hackathon at your institution!
  • Organize a hackathon yourself!

Workflow

Coding as a group in an open-source project is different from coding alone.

This is the typical collaborative workflow at a hackathon:

  1. Join Geomstats slack workspace: Join channel associated with your hackathon
  2. Assign yourself to a GitHub task on the GitHub project associated with your hackathon
  3. Code a few lines on a new GitHub branch
  4. Document your code with docstrings
  5. Test with unit-tests
  6. Lint to respect the coding style
  7. Submit a PR on GitHub
  8. Address code reviews
  9. Merge your PR
  10. Repeat :)

More details can be found in the contributing guidelines.

In a one-day hackathon:
  • we start with a stand-up meeting, where each participant states their goal for the day,
  • participants go through steps 1-10, on a (possibly small) code additions.
In a one-week hackathon:
  • we organize daily stand-up meetings,
  • we expect participants to go 2-3 times through steps 1-10.
