The second day of the #SnakemakeHackathon2025 is over. Today I have merged 11 fantastic pull requests in the in main snakemake repo alone. And we have our first #Snakemake release during the hackathon, adding integration with xonsh for scripting and helpers for extracting params from input files.

#snakemakehackathon2025 ! We started!

At the CERN for better #reproduciblecomputing and #ReproducibleResearch .

The #snakemakehackathon2025 just induced another collaboration for me!

It is always good to work along with like-minded people, interested in #reproduciblecomputing, #hpc and #bioinformatics

Today is the day of closed pull request for #snakemake. The #snakemakehackathon2025 participants worked at full speed!

We decided to write a white-paper summarizing our achievements rather than posting individual things. Suffice to say, that also the documentation made a great leap towards […]

Remember that I have been posting about the #snakemakehackathon2025 ?

I never really finished that series. But now, we have two late contributions by Ward Deboutte and @johanneskoester . One describing the polishing of the multiple extension handling of #snakemake for named inputs ( […]

The #isc25 is over and I half-recovered from the weekend, too. Time to continue my thread summing up the #snakemakehackathon2025 !

To me, an important contribution was from Michael Jahn from the Charpentier Lab: A complete re-design of the workflow catalogue. Have a look […]

Before I continue uploading - and I do have a couple of more contributions to add to the #researchequals collection - first another contribution by Johanna Elena Schmitz and Jens Zentgraf made at the #snakemakehackathon2025

One difficulty when dealing with a different scientific question: Do I […]

Let's take a look at another contribution of Johanna Elena Schmitz and Jens Zentgraf from the #snakemakehackathon2025

Snakemake users probably know that

`$ snakemake [args] --report`

will generate a self-contained HTML report. Including all plots and #metadata a researcher's heart longs for […]

One important feature implemented in the #snakemakehackathon2025 : Snakemake will calculate file checksums to detect changes. If a file changes, the rule producing it needs to be re-executed when a workflow it re-triggered. But what if a file is too big for reasonable checksum calculation? You […]

One important bug fix during the #snakemakehackathon2025 : the config replacement. Now, users can overwrite existing configurations entirely with `--replace-workflow-config`.

Did you know? During the #snakemakehackathon2025 we had a staggering 194 work items!

It took a while, but now we are gathering contribution reports and present them online as a ResearchEquals (https://fediscience.org/@ResearchEquals@akademienl.social) collection […]

Today at the #snakemakehackathon2025:

We did a tour around the CERN!

But, of course, work was done, too! On cvmfs support for software deployment, many core features, improved metadata reporting, more stable SLURM executor, etc. etc. etc. Soon you will read more. 😉
