What is new since the first meeting#
The First Developer Meeting explained why ESA is opening the BioMASS Processing Suite and what was already live. This second session moves from intent to practice. It walks through the contributor path step by step: forking the repository and opening a draft pull request directly from the GitHub web interface, how branches and releases are governed (CI/CD tiers and branch protection), and how to use a GitHub personal access token on MAAP Coding. A live demo shows the full loop end to end, and guest speakers from SERCO and ESA introduce MAAP access and how BPS runs on the platform, with a pointer to the MAAP hackathon repository.
Slides#
The published deck is the BioPAL GitHub overview (40 slides, four parts: introduction and intent, what is live today, how you contribute, and how to join). The slides of the guest speakers are only visible in the recording.
