Month: 2026-04 Key accomplishments: - Implemented FluSight Data CSV Integration: a new CSV data source for influenza patterns and predictions, enabling the FluSight forecasting hub to ingest up-to-date data. - Created 2026-04-25-UNCID D-InfluPaint.csv as part of the integration (commit: 77bec61f3687de72c70d76252898190192f4e36c). - Preserved compatibility with the existing ingestion pipeline and forecasting hub. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs reported this month. Impact and value: - Improves forecast relevance and data freshness by reducing data latency between updates and forecasts. - Strengthens data provenance and reproducibility via explicit commit artifacts. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - CSV data ingestion, Git-based versioning, data source integration, and collaboration within the FluSight project (cdcepi/FluSight-forecast-hub).

June 2025 highlights for HopkinsIDD/flepiMoP: completed migration of data access and processing pipelines from covidcast to epidatr across code, CI workflows, and build scripts, ensuring uninterrupted access to epidemiological data while modernizing dependencies. resolved post-migration installation and NAMESPACE issues, restoring package integrity and addressing missing imports. introduced installation tooling and updated imports to include epidatr and remove covidcast, improving setup, reproducibility, and onboarding. enhanced the development environment by adding libgit2 to environment.yml to support Git operations and streamline workflows. these changes reduce maintenance burden, improve CI reliability, and reinforce data access stability and developer productivity.
