There should be multiple videos. And they should not be too long, each with a motivating take-home message. And the first one should address even Windows users, I suggest. Ideas: n^th: Explain Bioinformatics and Open Source, how larger biological groups/universities maintain their service/research-mixes, how technological advancements keep pushing boundaries on what data one gets access to and how the data are processed. o^th: Brew+Conda+Distros+Cloud+Docker - differences, competition, how they help each other, how they are not p^th: Debian packaging - unpacking a .deb manually (ar, tar, [bgx]z(ip)?(2)?), apt-get source, dpkg-buildpackage q^th: Debian Med infrastructure - task lists, salsa, links from and to bio.tools, d/watch files r^th: Routine-update - show a smooth update, show a less smooth one (as in quilt -f push, vim), show how to feed a patch to upstream that is not Debian-specific s^th: Show how a package is uploaded to the distribution, and how sponsoring works via salsa, follow it on tracker.debian.org t^th: Show how to pigx-rnaseq (presumingly this is the first RNA-seq workflow package making it into our archive) to (re-)investigate a CoViD-19 dataset (and compare the findings with what the paper states). u^th: Show how to use the same dataset to find something new, confirm that in another CoViD-19 dataset and write a paper about it. Submit it. Discuss comments from reviewers. Revise and resubmit. The story kind of implies some half-order n<o<p<q<r<s<t<u but I would suggest to have every video stand on its own. Video u is what keeps me up to contribute to Debian as video+distro together bring science into regular homes. And maybe this should be the first video to start working on. I have some ideas for videos > u but these would not need to be discussed on a Debian list. Best, Steffen
