Meetups
Hacky Hour UQ
RCC supports Hacky Hour, held on UQ’s St Lucia Campus. Hacky Hour is a weekly meetup for UQ researchers to ask research-related technical issues to do with:
- high performance computing
- cloud computing
- virtual machines
- data storage
- data security
- data cleanup
- automated workflows
- data pipelines
- virtual desktops
- Python
- R
- Linux
- Software and Data Carpentry.
Experts from RCC and QCIF will be at the Hacky Hour to answer your questions, and researchers can also help each other. All UQ researchers are welcome to attend.
When: Hacky Hour UQ occurs each Tuesday, 3–4pm. Occasionally it is cancelled if no RCC and QCIF experts are available that day. For updates, follow Hacky Hour UQ on Twitter (@HackyHourStLuc) or check the blog.
Where: Hacky Hour UQ is currently being held at Café Nano, near AIBN, on the St Lucia Campus (view map).

Genomics focus
- First Tuesday of the month: Bioinformatics Hacky Hour — come and ask bioinformatics analysis, software and pipeline questions.
- Last Tuesday of the month: BioLab Hacky Hour — to answer your experimental design and technical sample processing questions to get you started in the lab.
During these special Hacky Hours, all researchers are welcome to attend and ask for help with all the usual research-related IT issues, such as HPC, Python and R.
