Topic
Topic Suggestions
Add your suggestions to the list (feel free to also add previously suggested topics). Topics are selected after a brief presentation through successive elimination. If someone comes with a real problem, this has priority.
Problems
Meta
- Upcoming Carpentries Workshop (Image Analysis with Python) 16.+17. October
- Calling for Beta Pilot Workshops: Building Better Research Software
- Transformation experiments: Sustainable Research Software → RSE, Open Science, Reproducible Research, ReScience, Negative Results (background). Also DFG guidelines mention “Draw on measures and support services for the efficient use of computer resources or obtain them from appropriate service providers (keywords: training programmes on HPC use, green IT strategies at the university, performance engineering for research software).” Maybe the unit can provide such services.
- Spending money on Open Source projects? Can this be part of grant applications? Can the University be a member of an e.V.?
Exchange of Ideas
Fun
- Building a RAGflow agent :robot_face: or try out Copilot in Agent Mode :pilot: (alternatively n8n) or a LangChain agent :black_bird: or ClaraVerse
- Try out Cline with local models :vibration_mode:
- Manage issues with git-bug :ladybug: or something more Radicle :space_invader:
rad clone rad:z36aLnbBoWXXH38iQstU1LmUM7nLZ - Flo rad repo: rad:zqdwSsWqeGWrZBf4nKfArY9wb3SQ
- Try out Observable Kit (a.k.a. Notebooks 2.0) :face_with_monocle:
- Waydroid android apps on linux :iphone:
- Try Polyglot Notebooks with variable sharing (R, python, julia?) :flags:
Maybe another time
Past ideas
Topic suggestions are no longer carried over automatically, to speed-up the decision process. However, it might be interesting to revisit some past ideas at some point. Therefore, a collection of past ideas is maintained in this Sammelsurium.
Challenge Club
From time to time, we solve challenges together in the HackyHour. It is usually undesired to share solutions publicly, as it spoils the fun for other players. Therefore, we created a private repository where we collect our joint solutions. Just tell Markus if you want access.
