Do you handle sequencing data and its metadata? We are looking for your input!

On behalf of the @NFDI4Microbiota@nfdi.social FlexFund project MIxS-UX and the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC), we are running a short 2–7 min anonymous survey on MIxS metadata standards to boost FAIR, reproducible genomics.

The survey is open to all (even if MIxS is new!).
Prize draw: 1 of 3 small prize packs.

Survey: https://tally.so/r/obGWPM

Deadline: March 20. (Please share!) #MIxS #FAIRdata #metadata #bioinformatics

@keyboardpipette@genomic.social @Lluis_Revilla@fosstodon.org haha, me too me too 🙄. Yeah I'm curious about it. Increasingly matrix/element is becoming popular for the anti-commercial/data retention. But honestly, the interface(s) of the clients are terrible. I actually pushed a community towards it and I'm half regretting it because so many non-techy people find it hard to understand/navigate, and it is less rich (limited custom emojis, GIFs, etc) - both which make it less attractive. So I think that there is a niche there

@keyboardpipette@genomic.social @Lluis_Revilla@fosstodon.org Hijacking thread slightly - nextflow forums are actually open: https://community.seqera.io/tag/nextflow (and the Slack is being wound down) nf-core remains on slack though. Conceptually: because (my opinion/feeling/impression) most (younger?) people don't like communicating via forums. They like the more 'human' interaction you get from real time chat. And unfortunately (also in my experience) there are no truly good alternatives UX wise to Slack etc that have open indexing
