### Agenda
- Discuss how to improve the release process
- Guidelines for introducing existing pipelines to nf-core (Igor)
- Note in the "workflow specificity" guideline
- Anywhere else?
- nf-test improvements from our side
- Topic channels
- new CI for nf-core/test-datasets repo (@mashehu)
- Delete sarek and eager! +1
### Minutes
- nf-test improvements from our side
- 4 people from the nf-core team have write access to the nf-test repo: Edmund, Sateesh, Nicolas, Maxime
- What are the priority changes?
- Being able to exclude tags
- Topic channels
- Compatibility with strict syntax
- Local storing of downloaded files/containers/conda environments
- Discuss how to improve the release process
- Trunk based development (https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/49)
- Means potential lack of traceability as most beginners run without -r TAG, so will just run the most recent
- No way to deal with this?
- Hard to get reviews still, even if you have little PRs
- A lot of personal pestering/guilting often required
- Especially for pipelines that are less well connected to the maintainers/core team
- People don't feel confident to judge scientific accuracy
- Maintainers/core team should only be worrying about the Nextflow, not the science.
- Dev -> Master release should only be checking the overall guidelines, not the individual PRs
- Can we get AI to automate this checking the overall guidelines? Help decrease the burden
- Better linting?
- Can we have some kind of automated linting report pushed to repo issue/PR?
- Try and get the linting issues dealt with sooner rather than when we get to the Dev -> Master release
- Should we have any expectations on new pipelines as to how long they are committing to maintaining them?
- new CI for nf-core/test-datasets repo (@mashehu)
- Now warns on deleting files
- Topic channels
- Now all merged and able to be used
### Action points
Famke volunteered to try and make a permanent monthly Zoom link that doesn't require her present to start it.

### Agenda / Minutes
- How did the hackathon go?
- From the regulatory group: Collect stats on pipelines to get an overview of pipeline maintenance
-
- Topics channels in modules:
- Starting conversion to use topics channels. First modules are adopted now
- At the moment topics are pushed to a separate branch. Why? Follow up with Nicolas.
- This is waiting for a tools release (planned for next week!)
- After tools is released, both branches should be merged asap to avoid divergence
- + documentation on how to adjust pipeline code to collect topics channels
- example on how to include topics: https://github.com/nf-core/rnavar/blob/dev/main.nf (experimental with nf-core-utils: https://github.com/nf-core/rnavar/pull/252/files)
- --> Maxime to chase Nicolas
- We know from rnavar that we can mix&match topics and versions channel
- nf-test is not supporting topics channel now, so modules are exposing emit and topic
- How long are we waiting to implement the now-stable workflow outputs? (Jon):
- NOW if you want. enforcing around March 2026: https://nf-co.re/blog/2025/retreat-2025#adopting-new-nextflow-syntax
- Helpdesk:
- APAC: Chris & Arthur
- We need to be better at advertising it and organizing it in general:
- Needs to be automated -> talk to the outreach team about this (Rike to ping Fran)
- Can Seqera promote this as well? Repost? -> Rike/jon to ask Lizzie
- US seems pretty abandoned
- Can we merge Europe & US?
- 3pm CET / 2pm British / 9am ET (?) -> Simon
- How to improve release process
- https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/49
-
- https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/85
- Template updates make it challenging
- Lots of pestering to get someone to review
-
- RFC board in general
- Should maintainers votes count for changes beyond pipelines
- Mostly about chasing the core team
- Some people are not engaging because their votes don't count
- people who create RFCs need to actually put in content and not just "landgrab"
- Can people that approve, put in actual reasoning?
### Action points
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT THE RELEASE PROCESS TO LOOK LIKE!

### Agenda
- Last month's action points follow up
- [ ] Edmund: Activate git lfs on test-datasets already (to make it faster for cloning)
- [x] James: Add decisions as proposals
- RFC: https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/70
- [ ] Edmund: enquire costs of hosting modules on cloudflare
- [x] James: contact special interest groups to find out what minimum information they want for documented
- Test data follow up
- See [thread](https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/C07B5FK9GKA/p1753970916859429) from Matthias/Phil: summary, AWS S3 probably most secure (very long history of support) and we shouldn't have egress costs because our modules tests now run on AWS (run-on). Local runs are fewer and small data files so not much
- General approval for AWS: biggest Q is submission/review process - ideas?
- Further thoughts?
- Survey: https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/C070369GP7T/p1755679519083569 and [results](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17iagyRS3myBIS_m4-fDhmu-_016yQmqRT3gkFHbg9M4/edit?usp=sharing)
- nodefaults:
- {%preview https://github.com/nf-core/modules/issues/8847 %}
- {%preview https://github.com/nf-core/modules/pull/8250 %}
- Helpdesk start up again in Septmeber! Prepare [new schedule](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c1Pz97W5azlPph9iiORAxRCLc6q4KBQRfK4M0h127KM/edit?usp=sharing) - please sign up!
### Minutes
- test data
- stored on cloudflare should be cheap
- plans for migration
- language server and automatic nextflow lint and format
- on hold until harshil alignment is fixed
- but we could at least run it
- how about just running it and comment warnings and errors (and maybe fail?)
- topics
- should be in template first before we can start putting it in
- with nf-core-utils we can mix topic and legacy versions channels
- seqera containers
- arm build
- automation
- how to handle the container definition
- pain points
- process.success and process.failed should be before assert
- nft-utils

### Agenda
- Let's 'burn nf-core/testdatasets to the ground' - _@edmundmiller June 2025_
- [Slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1M4VDIsTI_Vy0WPjTfIFuny2DektvIxmLQsbMJ7cnNn0/edit?usp=sharing)
### Minutes
- Structure
- Maxime: chaos, no structure (s3 style)
- Jon: Write once (immutable) - point to the hash URL instead, because some people have modified the contents of a file and now it doesn't work
- Simon: GitHub is the wrong place?
- Edmund: GitHub is OK, we can lint for usage of hash
- Famke: we need more metadata, how to link to the original data (if derivative); which chrs in there? Not documented and some tools need specific
- Anabella: same issue, have a way to visually inspect contents of files without downloading?
- Louis: idea -> stricter way of naming files; mega metadata table to describe each test-dataset; filename should be descriptive enough to know what is inside (no test.vcf).
- James: one mega file won't work, some generation is too complicated -> one README next to each file
- Famke: meta.yaml for each
- Edmund: we should use git lfs not git because every line change makes it huge (so checking out hte repor is massive)
- Example from xeniumranger because all test-datafiles were bigger than 10mb
- Hugging face we have up to 5GB per file; and unlimited free
- Simon: Any drawbacks of hugging face
- Edmund: separate team managemnet (not a free for all); on different system
- Edmund: another benefit is can put on s3 - but also nf-core s3 usage will cost something (or use cloudflare r2(?) which should be free - but would need to ask someone for credits etc.)
- Jon: what is huggingface?
- Edmund: Basically just git repo but using git lfs
- Jon: Why not git lfs on normal git?
- Simon: can we activate git lfs on existing repo? Yes!
- Famke: current structure of `master` being empty makes it too easy to forget to docs
- Simon: we should move to split modules and test-data
- Louis: the GitHub file size limit isn't necessarily a bad thing, enforces people to think about things -> GENERAL AGREEMENT
- Louis: maybe just have a spillover when something absolutely can't fit in ? Either same location or seaprate location (Reduce costs)
- Famke: is there a way of tracking what datafiles have been used (and delete stuff not used)... no-one knows?
- Simon: are we discussing modules or pipelines? Lets just focus on modules (biggest issues)
- DECISION: start from scratch with an new repo for modules (aand archive old one, slowly move stuff)
- Jon: all the test files are already on s3, just use that instead? But what would the process be for uploading.
- Costs? S3 cahrgers you moving outside of region (i.e. ingress/ingress)?
- Oh wait GHA...
- Cloudflare R2 for free (only charge for hosting, not ingress/egress)
- Benefit: don't have to archive -> **we want a directory compatible filesystem**
- 42basepairs? You can attach public buckets, and use it to navigate and can look inside: https://42basepairs.com/browse/r2/genomics-data?file=variants_CHM13.vcf.gz (open s3 viewr)
- Questions: how stable/longevity? How compatible with non-bioinfromatics data? Can just ask for 'free support'
QUESTION: Who actually likes to clone the test-dataset repo 4/12
Location:
- Much faster to download
- Supports directories
- Free (or cheap) -> doesn't charge for ingress/egress
Metadata
- Famke: yaml file? Too restrictive?
- What we want:
- Keywords?
- Organism?
- Whole genome?
- Chromosomes embedded?
- Individuals ?
- Is it real or simulated data?
- Is it a tool specific file vs a generic file?
- What command(s) was used to generate
- What version of the tool was used for generation?
- Source location of any upstream files?
- Genome version
- Panel
- Support 'grouped' files (e.g. pairs-end reads, ped/bim/fam, bam/bai)?
- Who created (author)
- We need subgroups for each discipline to find out which groups need what (Genomics, imaging)
- Could we use special interest groups?
- Specifications
- Should we copy over test-data from a tool that already has gt their own
- Igor: Julia,
### Action Items

- [x] James: Add decisions as proposals
- [ ] Edmund: enquire costs of hosting modules on cloudflare
- [x] James: contact special interest groups to find out what minimum information they want for documented

### Agenda
- NO wg-taskforce-test-data takeover, but a Maxime takeover
- nf-test migration progress report
- @maxulysse will present the RFC proposal
- We will look into this from time to time, but Maxime is assuming that most of the RFCs will come from our side anyway
- Anyone that cares enough to do an RFC should be a maintainer
- [CODEOWNER proposal](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/40)
- [`pipeline/main.nf` file for workflows instead of `pipeline.nf`](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/39)
- References proposal
- nf-core/tools release happening next week (monday?) - includes pipeline level nf-test
### Minutes
- nf-test migration almost over
- 1 module left -> need to specify CPU number for repro
- 1 subworkflow left -> https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/C043UU89KKQ/p1748441535247279
- RFCs presentation
- nf-core tools release
- megatests should be fixed for good
- discussion about nf-test pipelines tests conversion
- bamtofastq squash-merge from dev to master
- DON'T DO THAT :D
### Action Items
- [ ] Maxime to create a recurring zoom link for the meetings

### Agenda
- [x] Welcome to new maintainers: Anabella, Louis, Pontus
- Goodbye now alumni: Anders, Anders, Carson, Christopher, Lili, Sofia, Rob, Gisela, Harshil
- [x] @maxulysse: Can we set up for some pipelines a CODEOWNER, so that the actual pipelines maintainers can check up the PRs being merged, and help them actually maintain pipelines cc @emiller
- @FriederikeHanssen Use prefix in output directive: https://github.com/nf-core/modules/issues/7792
- [x] @famosab: I am all for module wishlists (on Issues) I just think we need to do them differently than now - some people also responded that they completely forgot about the issue and do not need the module or it was implemented somewhere else and so on
- [ ] @FloWuenne: I propose to include resource optimized configs for `test_full` profiles for all nf-core pipelines. Many orgs run these pipelines with full test profiles regularly for infrastructure tests etc. Default resource configurations are unnecessarily wasteful in most cases! I did some work to generate optimised configs for all pipelines that had succesfull runs since beginning 2024 here : https://github.com/FloWuenne/megatest-resource-optimization/tree/main/optimized_configs
- [ ] @jfy133 comments on improvment of use of test-data?: https://github.com/nf-core/website/pull/3327
- @jfy133: take over next meeting for wg-test-data?
### Minutes
- Welcome to new maintainers (everyone on holiday unfortunately 😅)
- CODEOWNER
- Some people want better information when PRs are being reviewed/merged in -> now allowing other groups coming in and reviewing amongst themselves
- Two places: modules and pipelines
- Opt-in? So not in templates
- Have a fallback for core or maintainers (but we already have those rights)
- But shouldn't protected branches help with that (you can set restrictions on pipeline repo level stuff)
- Add to guidelines that you CAN use them if you want?
- What if we autopropgate CODEOWNERS with `maintainer` tag of contribtuion in nextflow.config manifest?
- Prefixes: this seems to be a Nextflow bug
- https://nextflow.slack.com/archives/C02T98A23U7/p1745528754489099
- Modules wishlishes -> there a TOO MANY ISSUES, to they make sense?
- Famke's Idea: have a meta-issue to collect 'wishlist' modules for thoes who want to a module but don't want to implement themselves?
- James: label with 'wishlist' and auto-close after 1 year if no-one takes it up (but only if no-one assigns themselves)
- Label gets removed if someone assigns themselves (as it shows interest)
- Can we re-add label if someone unassigns themselves
- Can we ping assignees if they've not done the module after X amount of time
- Florian's suggestions: James summarised (but Florian is not there)
- Interest in automating?
- Firstly test these optimised configs manually in their `test_full`
- Maybe initially requiring in first release to add this (After the pre-release run)
- James forced everyone to review his PR regarding test-data messiness
- Júlia tools updates:
- Probably a small patch release prior the bigger one to include the fixes to AWS and the `latest-everything` issue (likely next week ™️)
### Action Items
- [ ] Maxime: write a RFC adding codeowners to certain pipelines to test if it upsets people
- [ ] James, Jon, Lorena, Jonas, Rike, Nicolas -> add a CODEOWNERs file with their current maintiners -> see if any pushback from any of their co-maintainers
- [ ] Revisit in 2 months?
- [x] Rike to report Nextflow bug of captured input files in output patterns:
- Ben already replied on the issue. It's a limitation of the scratch directive.
- [ ] Famke (+ Edmund) to investigate wishlist labelling system
- [ ] James/Lorena/Sateesh: try manually Florian's manual configs
- [ ] Reivist in 2 months
- [ ] James to speak to Simon about a agenda for wg-taskforce-test-data takeover of next meeting

### Agenda (Don't edit, only append!)
- Spring cleaning date decision
- (final point:) Did we scare Famke off?
- Question from Maxime: Who actively use the igenomes.config in their pipeline?
- Proposal: Arthur Gymer for maintainers (again(?))
- Proposal: echo commands rather than removing args (IN STUB)
- Proposal: remove latest-everything from _required tests_ on release PRs (still run, but not block releases)
- Question from Florian: How can we get people to join the North American side of helpdesk?
- Default prefixes in modules (https://github.com/nf-core/website/pull/2608)
### Minutes
- Spring cleaning date decision
- Week 11 (03-10 -> 03 -14)
- We haven't scared Famke yet
- Maxime is given free rein with igenomes.config
- He will hopefully present references soon
- Maxime will ask Arthur about maintainer
- STUB? args? Let's think more and raise the question later
- We're removing args in stub due to language server
- We don't mind echoing the args, but we don't print them, so it's kinda useless
- Let's comment on the static types PR and see if we can do something there
- Let's remove latest-everything from REQUIRED TESTS
- Florian + Lorena have been almost alone in AMERICAS helpdesk
- He worked on stickers, so it's still a win
- Simon wants us to talk again about the default prefixes
- Simon wants us to do pre-spring cleaning
- Edmund informs us that seqera containers are in progress
### Action Points
- [x] @jfy133 give @maxulysse and @FriederikeHanssen co-hosting rights
- (not possible as on different paid 'accounts' - maybe switch to a Seqera )
- [x] @jfy133 Figure out how to get the Zoom meeting on the calendar invite
- See above...
- [x] @maxulysse asks Arthur about being a maintainer (even in Autralia)
- [ ] DECISION FOR STUBS
- [ ] echo args for now instead of removing
- [ ] Capture stdout in stub test?
- [ ] Talk with Ben and maybe Lukas and see how we can improve
- [ ] Testing stubs with a plugin instead of writing stub tests
- [ ] Let's do it and remove latest-everything from REQUIRED TESTS
- [x] Helpdesk AMERICAS
- [ ] Change time?
- [ ] Rebrand as Happy Hour?
- [x] Communicate more about the questions that can be asked
- [ ] See with outreach team and see if we can pump on ads
