Software Working Group Activities:
Canvas software tools in use as well as under development within GBA biofoundries, and software whose functionality / source code the GBA could access/benefit from
Identify existing freely open-source software projects the GBA could collaboratively contribute to
On an annual basis, prioritize new features for freely open-source software projects the working group will focus on
Sub-working group activities focusing on software standards that are coordinated with these new feature developments
Prioritized freely open-source software features for collaborative development in 2020:
SynBioPython – General low-level API
Connect multiple pieces of software to complete DBTL workflows
Genedeals – Skyscanner for DNA
Non-GBA contributors (e.g. those from companies or biofoundries outside of the GBA) to the Software Working Group:
1. Have no decision making authority/no influence on the prioritization/ranking of prospective working group collaborative activities
2. Can be informed of what the Software Working Group is actively collaborating on (e.g. via this page)
3. Can suggest new features / report bugs through existing ticketing systems (e.g. via github); or contact working group co-chairs with suggestions
4. Can contribute along with GBA members to freely open-source software projects
