Warning

This page is redundant with the unified docs in biocypher/documentation. Community docs will be maintained there.

Welcome to the BioCypher community! We follow open-source principles and encourage any sort of contribution. We communicate on GitHub, where we also organise our projects. For more informal discussions and updates, we have a Zulip channel. Everybody is welcome!

Our Community Zulip Channel

Some channels are public, others can be seen after joining the Zulip community (free of charge).

  • #announcements: Stay informed about seminars, workshops, and other events.
  • #help: Ask questions and get help related to BioCypher ecosystem projects.
  • #general: You can introduce yourselves, discuss ideas and share your work.
  • #development: Exchange ideas about development of BioCypher ecosystem projects.

Why Zulip? We chose Zulip because it is a modern, open-source alternative to Slack. It is organised by topics, which helps in keeping the discussions focused. It also is free of charge for open-source and academic projects, which means that they sponsor the cloud hosting for our channel (as for many other open-source projects) - thanks!
