DESCRIPTION:The “ELIXIR Software Deployment Group” is one of the six wo
 rking groups of the ELIXIR tools platform. It has been recently formed to 
 support bioinformatics software deployment efforts including packages and 
 containers. At the moment this group is sustained by ELIXIR Nodes sharing 
 a common interest to work together on a harmonised strategy. The activitie
 s of this group are extremely relevant to other two groups within ELIXIR T
 ools platforms: “Workflows &amp\; workbenches” and “Software develop
 ment best practices” because it represents the starting point for the de
 velopment of reproducible pipelines and workflows in bioinformatics. \n\n
 This group would like to accelerate and consolidate the Containers Platfor
 m as a Service\, and the integration with other groups like Workflows &amp
 \; workbenches and Software tools (Bio.Tools). To do so we proposed to ha
 ve a 2.5 days hackathon. In practice the hackathon will give us the opport
 unity to work on three different topics:\n\nImprove the current metadata a
 nd definitions for BioContainers and increase the number of containers in 
  Biocontainers. \n\nIntegration of Biocontainers (https://biocontainers.
 pro/) and other initiatives Bioshadock (http://bioshadock.genouest.org/)\
 , BioConda.\n\nConnect better the containers registry (http://biocontainer
 s.pro/registry) with Bio.tools and Workflow systems such as Galaxy and CWL
 .\n\nDefine a strategy (Metadata) for “Training Containers”\, design a
 n infrastructure for hosting containers in ELIXIR and engage the training 
 community to create containers for training purposes.
