GROMACS polls

Hi,
We have discussed within a group of core developers the idea to organize activities on learning to code in GROMACS. I will appreciate your feedback on the initiative.
Below I try to summarize the discussed points.

The aim of the activities will be to provide a bridge to better contribute to the developers community of GROMACS. The targets are both new and experience developers (with mentoring role). We think that a background in molecular dynamics simulations and basic knowledge of programming (better in C++) will be a requirement and better if attendees has a clear “plan” (project) to contribute to GROMACS.

Topics:

  • Software structure and interfaces in GROMACS
  • Use of GROMACS GitLab - version control (including how to do an issue and MR)
  • GROMACS CI and testing
  • Best practice in GROMACS developers community (including expectation, communication channel, update documentation)
  • Soft Skill (software development in teams and communication)

Format: lectures, open discussion, guided hands-on with mentoring.
Period: Spring 2023
Setting: a 2-3 day physical workshop or 4-5 half-day topic-based distance workshops ?

If you think, it will be of interest for the community, please do the poll at the end before 16-12-2022.
