Voting! by RSE Asia Australia Unconference 2022 https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting [Pls note, post-conference this page has been set to read-only except for vote counts as there isn't a setting to freeze them.] On this page you can vote on the topics shown, and also add a topic. If there is something you think the community should discuss, click the big plus icon under the section heading and write it up! Then everyone else can vote on it too. Note that you can add your name to your post, or you can leave it as anonymous - up to you! Take advantage of the unique opportunity. There’s a special mix of experience and opinion in the room and that’s the unconference magic. Throw questions to the floor often, probing for expertise is in the room: “ It could be something that you know a lot about, or it could be a question that you want to learn more about. en-us 2022-09-07 23:12:05 UTC 2022-10-19 01:54:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Authentication and Authorization rse2022 https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287221705 [REQUIRES DETAILS]]]> 2022-09-07 23:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287221705 Mentoring rse2022 https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287222175 [REQUIRES DETAILS]]]> 2022-09-07 23:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287222175 Image Analysis rse2022 https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287222593 [REQUIRES DETAILS]]]> 2022-09-07 23:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287222593 Tips and tricks for pangeo/zarr/xarray workflows rse2022 https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287223368 Do you use these workflows?

What are some good examples of this that you have come across in your experience? How would you even know if another field has also implemented a solution that your field has? How could we increase transparency or promote visibility so that we can learn from each other and not have to lose time, and resources?

]]> 2022-09-07 23:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287235862 Should we create an annual RSE award? Or something along those lines? rse2022 https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2287236467 This would demonstrate that RSEs have value and could raise the profile of RSEs (e.g. by asking researchers to nominate or getting it into newsletters).

It could also demonstrate value of the projects RSEs are on and raise those project's profiles too.

What exactly does the most senior RSE look like?

I feel that if I could understand what that means to the community, it would make more sense when we talk about career progression more generally.

There is a need for fit-for-purpose domain-specific research workflow solutions within an organisation. 

These workflows should be developed at an international level.

This session could help to explain why this project might be of interest to the RSE community, and the research community.

Research infrastructure positions should help with this in theory, but in practice it can still be difficult to justify maintenance time when the university still wants you to get involved in as many grants as possible. How are people managing this tension? How can RSEs as a group communicate the importance of maintenance?]]> 2022-09-14 02:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2295528132 Hosting research software https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2295617932 Do you practice Devops or CI/CD?

How do you get non-technical researchers to participate in hosting their research projects? How do you provide funded, sustainable, long-term support?

What tech do you use for hosting? Static sites, K8s, VMs, Serverless, Bare Metal?

Do you use AWS/GCP/Azure, IaC? Who's paying for it? How much access do you give to researchers in Cloud accounts?

Do you host on-prem? What are the advantages & disadvantages of Cloud vs on-prem?

How do you 'productionise' research software? How do you get from a script on your machine, to an HPC job, to a hosted service?]]> 2022-09-14 03:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2295617932 What is your career progression as a non-code RSE or Compensated Open Source Contributor? https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2295623306 Code contributor -> Software Developer pathway is clear, but what about for artists?

Feeling tied because of niche recognition of RSE pathway. Other sources of funding, grants? https://padlet.com/rse2022/voting/wish/2295626706 For Open Source Projects, there are 
  • Community Funding
    • NumFOCUS, OpenCollective (like Patereon)

    • Sloan, Moore, NASA

  • Not just a hired developer throwing code from a client to an open source project and then a researcher picking up the optimized code down the line.
  • A lot of open source starts and used in research, but not all.
