Tech Talk: Researchers who code
Topic:
Recognition for Researchers who Code — update on the RSE (Research Software Engineer) community in Australia / New Zealand.
This is a Tech Talk focused around the community of Recognition for Researchers who Code. This is a part of the Researcher Software Engineer (RSE) international community.
This Tech Talk aims to build awareness of and to identify volunteers for the RSE community. If you are an academic/researcher who codes but are lacking recognition and metrics needed to progress your academic career; a 'generalist' who brings communities together and can engage with both researchers and technical staff; or a professional software engineer working in the research space; you should think about attending this meeting.
Speakers:
- Natalie Myers, eResearch Librarian at University of Notre Dame (Special Guest): RSE's Intro to software curation, credit and retention, including special concerns of female researchers who code.
- Ariane Mora, The University of Queensland: Docker — learning curve from beginner to intermediate. Ariane reflects on Docker benefits, and applications for research software.
- Manodeep Sinha, Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, Swinburne University of Technology: Discussing the latest RSE Survey (International / Australia)
- Nick May, Research Software Engineer, RMIT: RSE 2019 deliverables.
ARDC (formerly ANDS, Nectar, and RDS) and RDS nodes (QCIF, Intersect, NCI, TPAC, VICNode, eRSA and Pawsey) have joined forces to organise a monthly Tech Talk virtual and face-to-face meeting. The Tech Talks are a monthly community gathering to showcase uses and discuss the technical side of Australia's research infrastructure.
