The **Bio-IT Grassroots** initiative aims at bringing together members of EMBL's bio-computational community through reciprocal assistance on a wide range of topics. It serves as a platform to **support internal collaboration and consultation at EMBL**.
The activity was initiated in 2019 and it currently includes a table of EMBL **personnel available for consultation, respective topics of expertise and preferred communication channels**. The [grassroots webpage](https://bio-it.embl.de/grassroots-consulting/) also includes instructions on how to get involved, and states that grassroot consultants are indicated by the grass 🌱 icon in [EMBL chat](https://chat.embl.org/) and [EMBL GitLab](https://git.embl.de/).
The purpose of this project is to reactivate and improve the Bio-IT Grassroots initiative, by updating the relative data, advertising it, recruiting new members and acknowledge their contribution. The possibility of organising recurring or special events with these aims will be explored. Significant milestones will be established as control-points of the project progression. This project progression is monitored and supported through participation to the [forth cohort of the Open Life Sciences initiative](https://openlifesci.org/ols-4).
This issue is our roadmap. It's a place to start navigating the plan, or update and manage it. Check out the different milestones listed below.
# Roadmap
## 1. [OLS-4 Week 5](https://git.embl.de/grp-bio-it/grassroots/-/milestones/1)
Project initiation and documents setup.
- [x] Init the project repository
- [x] Establish main milestones in the project roadmap
- [x] Write README as landing page for the project
- [x] Add project license
- [x] Add project Code of Conduct
- [x] Add contribution guidelines and invite contributors
## 2. [OLS-4 Week 10](https://git.embl.de/grp-bio-it/grassroots/-/milestones/3)
Check project progress in the middle of the OLS program.
- [x] Create consistent list of keywords to represent grassroots experts' skills, see #3
- [ ] Update table of contributors, see #4
- [ ] Check 🌱 acknowledgment system, see #5
- [ ] Create expertise-specific chat channels
## 3. [Bio-IT Hackathon](https://git.embl.de/grp-bio-it/grassroots/-/milestones/2)
Opportunity to collaborate with the community and present the project progression. [Notes](https://pad.bio-it.embl.de/PNQSqqNPSqeir0uqWdoewg).
- [x] Recruit Hackathon organising committee (possibly to represent all groups, at leats make sure that it has been advertised in all expertise-specific channels)
- [ ] Tag all courses listed in the [workshops GitLab group](https://git.embl.de/grp-bio-it-workshops) with the skills keywords
- [x] Propose Hackathon activity (not mandatory, still an idea for TODO even after the event): each group should revise the training materials available and identify gaps
## 4. [OLS-4 Week 15](https://git.embl.de/grp-bio-it/grassroots/-/milestones/4)
Check project progress and OLS results at the end of the OLS program.
- [ ] Expand acknowledgment system (skills specific icons? badges?), see #5
- [ ] Establish a routine to update the table, recruit members and advertise grassroots
- [ ] Draw a plan for a grassroots-themed event
- [ ] Collect success stories, see #8https://git.embl.de/grp-bio-it/grassroots/-/issues/1OLS-4 documents2021-10-19T15:35:40ZLisanna PaladinOLS-4 documentsThis issue lists the documents and useful links from the [Open Life Sciences - OLS program](https://openlifesci.org/ols-4).
