Background:

This platform, called EPIIC (Ecosystem Prognosis, Impacts, and Information Cooperative), will be an open-source, collaborative effort built on scalable, cloud-based services, to be used by people around the world to help ecosystems around the world in need of protection and restoration.

For this initiative to succeed, it will require lots of data in a timely manner, a robust cloud-based infrastructure, and enthusiastic users of the data who will participate in modeling complex ecological systems

Requirements:

In this challenge, you can pick up issues listed on Gitlab and accomplish them during 12 hours to get the prizes which are mentioned in the issues titles.
  • Select an issue labeled as tcx_OpenForPickup to work!
  • Self-assign yourself to the issue, add tcx_Assigned and remove the tcx_OpenForPickup (if you don't have enough permissions to do this, ask in the issue ticket itself).
  • Follow the instructions in the ticket, work from the latest commit in the develop branch (create a new branch from latest develop branch and name with issue-ID-YOURHANDLE).
  • Once ready, create a merge request, and label the original issue ticket with the tcx_ReadyForReview label.
  • From this moment you may pick-up the next issue and start working on it, but if any problems are detected with your previous pull request, fixing them will be the top priority.
  • Don't hold an issue ticket for too long if you can't fix it in 12 hours. If an issue demands more time to be fixed, comment in the ticket and provide a Merge Request with the work in progress. Otherwise, de-assign yourself from the ticket and label it back with the tcx_OpenForPickup label. If the Merge Request which shows the work in progress is not provided, the extension would not be granted and the issue would be unassigned.
  • If you have any questions regarding a ticket, comment in the ticket itself and don’t use the challenge forums. Use the challenge forum only for generic questions.
  • If you think that some issue has insufficient points, please, ask for a raise before assigning the issue to yourself. Most likely points couldn’t be increased if not confirmed before assigning.
