Agenda
SAB (4th-5th Feb 2016, Caltech)
- There is a page for the SAB here
- Accommodation: should non-Caltech folks arrange their own accommodation?
- Flying dates: should all/most be present on Weds 3rd Feb for pre-SAB activities? Ideas:
- Project-wide planning meeting (practice talks etc)
- Smaller working groups to discuss specific topics (add your ideas below)
- Agenda
- We should start thinking about one
- Do we know the complete list of advisors yet?
- WS253 data upload: should we postpone the upload deadline until after SAB?
- Hinxton: yes
HelpDesk
- Tickets for review
- chromosome map tool (https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/1103). Requires comment from web team
- Next officer (from Monday 7th December) will be Daniela
WormBase Survey
- Has anyone had a chance to look over the survey results?
- If so, are there issues in the survey results that we should address for the SAB?
Idea scratch-pad for potential pre-SAB discussion topics
- Curation, organisation, display and querying of RNASeq data (FlyBase have moved ahead of us here)
- Database migration
- Deconvolution of parasitic data (could discuss cross-referencing/linking between WB and WBPS for core species, cross-searching over the two resources, etc.)
Minutes
SAB
- Non-Caltech people should probably contact Sarah which will take care of arranging the accomodation for the SAB.
SAB pre-meeting
- It would be a good idea to have a pre-SAB meeting on the 3rd, but Todd can only make the afternoon.
- Most of Hinxton will be arriving late on the 2nd and leaving on the Sunday.
- Discussing the Datomic migration appears to be a popular topic for the pre-SAB meeting.
- Raymond: we should have a focus to the SAB meeting like collaborative efforts with other mods.
SAB agenda
- Raymond: we should have a focus to the SAB meeting like collaborative efforts with other mods.
- Todd: we should think about how we can justify our funding.
- Chris: we need to tailor our discussions with the SAB advisors to their fields of expertese.
- Paul Sternberg mailed a list of advisors that included: Jason Stajich, Mike Cherry (probably) and Brian Oliver.
WS253 data upload
- Postponing the upload until after the SAB is popular. People don't want to have to rush things with Xmas and the SAB taking up their time.
Helpdesk
- One outstanding query about the chromosome map tool. Sybil says that she will discuss things with the Intermine developer to get a list of gene positions to quickly draw the graphs.
WormBase Survey
- Todd gave a quick summary of the response to the survey. The main point of concern appears to be the response to WormMine.
- [1]
- We should do more tutorials and outreach about WormMine.
- There is a new user interface to Intermine coming in 2016.
- Todd says that WormMart will be retired at the end of this month.
- People are not using WormMart heavily.
- It was suggested that Parasite WormMart be added to the Tolls menu on the website, but Todd explained that the new WormMine will have a range or new features that will cover what people are currently using Parasite WormMart for.
Datomic
- Adam is making great progress in getting the Datomic database ready for driving the site.
- ACeDB will certainly be used for at least the next year.
- It makes sense to have curation use ACeDB for the time being.
- Discussion of how model changes would work when using Datomic.
- Raymond would prefer to see parallel running of the two systems for some time while problems are sorted out.
- Todd: It is not worth people sitting down and learning Datomic yet.
- Adam described his work on Docker to help set up a local copy of the database, including the website user inteface.
- Chris: it would be great if this could be used by WormBase end users.
