Invitation to hackathon in week of 2025-01-13 to work on openTECR

[Robert Giessmann]

Dear openTECR community,

I am inviting you to join a world-wide, online-only hackathon in the week of 13th of January 2025 (in roughly a month) from Monday to Friday (and possibly the weekend, if anyone has interest). We will meet virtually across time zones to work on openTECR, which cares about data on thermodynamics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

While I still need to update our materials to prepare for this year's hackathon, you can get an impression of possible tasks in need of help here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UFTLCb9QeDxPBj_j29_Tx1d-om2dKlVdqkhcGboit8I/edit?tab=t.0

Last year, we achieved so much! You can get an impression of a client-only search here, a server-powered search website here, and the curation of ~5500 data points here.  Thanks again to everyone who participated and contributed! <3       (One big task is obviously to write a paper on the curation that so many of you helped with! I am sorry that I didn't find the time to write it, yet.)

We do not have an official registration form yet, so just send me an email if you are, in principle, interested in the hackathon and would possibly like to learn more!

Thanks and best,

   Robert
