Project info

Title:
Pydra's relatives and friends: providing Pydra's support for FitLins, Nipype interfaces and ML model comparison

Project lead:
Dorota Jarecka: @djarecka
Satra Ghosh: @satra
Chris Markiewicz: @effigies
Mathias Goncalves: @mgxd
Nicole Lo: @nicolocin
...

Timezone:
Most people will be physically on the East Coast of the U.S., but we work weirds hours, and we have one person in Asia (Nicole), so don't hesitate to join!

Hub:
we registered to the Americas Hubs, but everyone is welcome!

Description:
Pydra is a lightweight, Py3.7+ dataflow engine for computational graph construction, manipulation, and distributed execution.
Pydra is a part of the second generation of the Nipype ecosystem, but it is designed as a general-purpose engine to support analytics in any scientific domain.

FitLins is a tool for estimating linear models, defined by the BIDS Stats Models specification proposal, to BIDS-formatted datasets.

Pydra-ML is a demo application that leverages Pydra together with scikit-learn to perform model comparison across a set of classifiers.

Goals for the OHBM Brainhack

• moving Nipype interfaces to the independent repository and provide Pydra's support to execute them
• building Pydra support for FitLins
• general development on Pydra-ML
• improving Pydra documentation
• creating Pydra Dashboard

Good first issues:
we will have some, e.g.
nipype/pydra#197
nipype/pydra#33
nipype/pydra-ml#23

Skills:
we can use various skillis:

• nipype
• general python
• documentation
• html/js

Chat channel:
we will be using an existing channel: hbmhack-nipype

Video channel:

Please have a look at the mattermost channel to know the video channel.

Project submission

Submission checklist

Once the issue is submitted, please check items in this list as you add under 'Additional project info'

Please include the following above (all required):

• Link to your project: could be a code repository, a shared document, etc. See here
• Include your Mattermost handle (i.e. your username). If you do not have an account, please sign up here.
• Goals for the OHBM Brainhack: describe what you want to achieve during this brainhack. See here.
• Flesh out at least 2 "good first issues": those are tasks that do not require any prior knowledge about your project, could be defined as issues in a GitHub repository, or in a shared document, cf here.
• Skills: list skills that would be particularly suitable for your project. We ask you to include at least one non-coding skill, cf. here.
• Chat channel: A link to a chat channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack. This can be an existing channel or a new one. We recommend using the Brainhack space on mattermost, cf. here.
• Video channel: Please create a video channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack and share it in your chat channel above. This can be an existing channel or a new one. For instance a jitsi meet room, cf. here.
• Provide an image of your project for the OHBM brainhack website

You can also include information about (all optional):

• Number of participants, cf. here
• Twitter-size summary of your project pitch, cf. here
• Set up a kanban board on your repository to better divide the work and keep track of things, cf here
• Project snippet for the OHBM Brainhack website, cf. here

We would like to think about how you will credit and onboard new members to your project. We recommend reading references from this section. If you'd like to share your thoughts with future project participants, you can include information about (recommended):

• Specify how will you acknowledge contributions (e.g. listing members on a contributing page).

@djarecka @satra @effigies looking awesome 🚀 ! You may want to share a short description that summarizes the purpose and main components so that the project can be added to the website.

If you are willing to add a PR, you will need to edit the projects file:
https://github.com/ohbm/hackathon2020/blob/master/_data/projects.yml

The image you pointed would need to be added here:
https://github.com/ohbm/hackathon2020/tree/master/img/hackathon

Otherwise, you can share the description here and we'll open the PR.

Thanks 👍 !

@jhlegarreta - thanks, will create a pr

[jhlegarreta]

@djarecka I removed the video link to avoid unexpected events in the video channel. Would you add that information to the mattermost channel, please? Thanks.

[djarecka]

sure, will add during this hackathon, still not sure when will we meet there

[complexbrains]

@djarecka Thank you! Your project seems ready to go! Welcome aboard! 🤗 🎊

[tashrifbillah]

Interested to work on it. Anyone giving an overview of it anytime soon?

[djarecka]

please join us on the mattermost channel: https://mattermost.brainhack.org/brainhack/channels/nipype

the video are pinned to the channel.

I'd also recommend going through the tutorial: https://github.com/nipype/pydra-tutorial and ask questions

[tashrifbillah]

mattermost channel isn't working for many of us right now. We reported it on the ongoing Crowdcast session.

[djarecka]

sorry, you can also find me here
