Recently had a discussion about #researchSoftware. After delving into its definition, the conversation shifted to whether software initially created for research always remains as research software, or how one addresses the software's maturity. The answers lie in the same paper as the definition: "The evolution of it being RS might depend on version x.z and if this version is also born RS. " Thus, it's dependent on the version, not the software itself. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5504016 #rse

We’re at the Open Science Festival (#OSF2023) at
@erasmusuni hosting a couple sessions on national infrastructure for sustainable #researchsoftware & collaborative lesson development.

Stop by our booth to learn about our calls, #eScienceFellows programme, free training & more! 👋

Save the date: #DHBerlin - der Stammtisch findet am 1.9.2023, 18:00 Uhr, statt. @dighum_berlin @msiemund und ich freuen uns, mit Euch über Themen wie #openscience, #fairdata, #researchsoftware, #nfdirocks oder #forschungsdatenmanagement - aber auch alles nicht-Arbeitsrelevante ;) zu sprechen. Wo teilen wir Euch rechtzeitig mit. :)

We set up this account for all you lovely (future) #RSEng s out there to get you started 💪 . We will provide information to help those of you who are not computer specialists to get started in the world of software development. #openscience #researchsoftware

A conversation about Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) in the
#researchsoftware engineering (RSE) community: reflections on successes and challenges

12th Sept 09:00-10:00 UTC, online

@ellakaye (University of Warwick)
and Malvika Sharan (Alan Turing Institute) will converse about their experiences with the RSE community and
the challenges and successes they’ve encountered when working to improve EDIA

"The urgent need to make the value of open source visible and quantifiable to university leadership" by @Carlos has a nice statistic: 32,000 is the estimated number of public GitHub repositories that UC San Diego faculty and students have contributed to https://deploy-preview-202--ucsc-ospo.netlify.app/post/20230801/ #researchsoftware

Watching towels dry for science (and television): https://rolfhut.nl/2023/07/29/its-like-watching-towels-dry-for-science/ is a great read (well, I read the Dutch version).

Including #OpenSource #ResearchSoftware

Heerlijk stukje om te lezen: wetenschappelijk onderzoek over het drogen van handdoeken, met thermische camera, gedegen methodiek en #ResearchSoftware (#OpenSource) voor de analyse. En eerlijke bespreking van beperkingen en het nut van het onderzoek.

DH-Stammtisch goes Bierbörse. Am 4.8.2023, 18:00 Uhr, findet unser nächster DH-Stammtisch statt. Wir treffen uns dieses Mal in der Berliner Republik https://www.die-berliner-republik.de/, um über Themen wie #openscience #fairdata #researchsoftware oder #forschungsdatenmanagement zu sprechen. @msiemund , @dighum_berlin und ich freuen uns auf Euch!

ReSA welcomes the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as our latest Organisational Member. Members support us financially to bring #researchsoftware communities together to collaborate on the advancement of the research software ecosystem.

NWO is the main #research funder in #Netherlands & encourages the transition to #openscience, incl open #software. Each year, NWO invests close to 1 billion euros in curiosity-driven research, research related to societal challenges and research infrastructure.

We received 200+ applications for the Sage Concept Grants and currently reviewing them. This is twice what we previously had, and it's terrific, but it also means we need more time to review! :) #ResearchSoftware #research #Grants

.@emckiernan13 &co provide recommendations for policymakers to maximize research equity, transparency, & #reproducibility, ensuring that #ResearchSoftware is openly accessible & reusable @LorenaABarba @pebourne @eSayeed @danielskatz @bplale #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Y2cBp9

Another #arXiv paper I came across related to #ResearchSoftware and #RSEng (Also relevant to DOE labs)

Pls. spread the word. #researchsoftware

DiveRSE Seminar 11 July 09:00 UTC online

Numbers Game, with Mariann (Maz) Hardey, Prof of Digital Culture, Technology and Business at Durham University. Mariann is also a member of Advanced #Research #Computing at Durham, where her role supports widening participation and accessibility.

Mariann will focus on the ‘Whoddunit’ behind #Equality, #Diversity and #Inclusion (EDI/DEI) in #tech workplaces.

A 🧵 [1/n]

So, I was thinking about FAIR data. I wanted to start cataloguing our lab's data and make it FAIR, even just locally (with the idea that in the future we can start uploading somewhere). So I wanted to find some software that can bind metadata and data in some way. I found a series of LIMS software that seems to do what I want (e.g. makes protocols, data types, authors, instrument pages and links them all together) [...]
