Welcome to the nf-core hackathon! nf-core Hackathon March 2026 Kickoff: How to Join, Collaborate, and Contribute The video welcomes participants to the hybrid nf-core Hackathon March 2026 and outlines how the three-day event will run, including registration stats, asynchronous scheduling with twice-daily check-ins, and a Thursday quiz. It explains the core collaboration platforms: GitHub (including joining the nf-core GitHub org for authentication), Slack (key channels for coordination and GitHub invitations), and the self-hosted WorkAdventure space with Jitsi for larger calls, plus fallback options like Slack huddles or Zoom. The video describes how to find and join projects via the event page, coordinate work using a GitHub project board and issues, assign tasks, submit pull requests, and request reviews. It highlights a major focus area: preparing pipelines and institutional configs for Nextflow “strict syntax,” notes social activities (scavenger hunt, Connect game, playlist, food sponsorship), emphasizes the code of conduct, and points to training resources and the upcoming Nextflow Summit in Boston. 00:00 Welcome 01:00 Registration stats 03:52 Schedule 04:26 Staying connected 05:23 Work Adventure 07:59 Plan B 08:28 How the hackathon works 10:54 Projects 13:08 Strict(er) Syntax 14:45 Daily wrap ups 15:15 Pair programmingz 15:43 Pull request reviews 16:42 Socials 19:08 Code of Conduct 19:30 Check list 21:12 Nextflow Summit 2026 21:42 Podcast and blog 22:22 Thank yous 23:19 Conclusion https://nf-co.re/events/2026/hackathon-march-2026
