Code for Thought

In dieser Sonderausgabe berichte ich von der Unkonferenz des deutschen RSE Vereins, die zwischen dem 26. und 28. September in Jena stattfand. Ca 60 Teilnehmer*innen trafen sich, um über Themen zu diskutieren, die sie in ihrem Alltag bewegen. Im Rahmen dieser Veranstaltung traf ich mich mit mehreren Organisatoren und Teilnehmern um über ihre Eindrücke und Beiträge zu sprechen.https://un-derse23.sciencesconf.org Der link zur Veranstaltunghttps://theconversation.com/re-designing-the-conference-46894 Ein Artikel aus dem Jahr 2015 zum Thema Unkonferenz (Englisch)https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-05155-0 Das Buch das in der Folge erwähnt wurde: Agile the good, the hype and the ugly von Bertrand Meyer. https://project.software-metadata.pub/index.html Helmholtz Hermes Projekthttps://the-turing-way.netlify.app/index.html The Turing Way - vom Alan Turing Institut in London, UKhttps://www.dfg.de Webseite der deutschen ForschungsgemeinschaftGet in touchThank you for listening!

In this second report on research software archives and directories I am talking to Jason Maassen from the eScience Centre in the Netherlands and Christian Meessen from the Helmholtz Association in Germany. The eScience Centre developed the Research Software Directory (RSD) to show the impact software has on research. Researchers who code can register their software with the directory from all over the work. Helmholtz has adopted the RSD platform to produce a Helmholtz specific version and use that to monitor and track development from within the various research centres within Helmholtz.Here some links:https://research-software-directory.org/ The portal to the RSD from the eScience Centre in NLhttps://www.esciencecenter.nl  The eScience Centre https://helmholtz.software The RSD Helmholtz siteGet in touchThank you for listening!

The HiddenRef https://hidden-ref.org in the UK is an initiative to push for considering a wider range of research outputs than publications, e.g. software and data. The members of the initiative organised an event on 21 September 2023 to bring together academic institutions, funders and publishers. The aim is to increase the amount of non-publication output for the next research assessment in the UK in 2028. https://hidden-ref.org/festival-of-hidden-ref/ The HiddenREF festival pageIn this episode I spoke to a number of participants and presenters.

F1000 works in partnership with many research funders, institutions and societies across the globe, including the European Commission, Wellcome, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the American Nuclear Society, to develop bespoke publishing solutions to help them to achieve their open research ambitions. F1000 also has its own portfolio of open research publishing venues available to researchers from across all disciplines who wish to publish all research outputs openly, including F1000Research, Routledge Open Research, Open Research Africa and Health Open Research.

Julian arbeitet an der Universität Swansea in Wales in Grossbritannien. Zusammen mit Kollegen bemüht er sich darum, Ergebnisse von Simulationen und Berechnungen reproduzierbar zu machen. Erstaunlicherweise, sind wenige der Papers und Ergebnisse auch heute noch reproduzierbar und Julian und das Team bemühen sich darum das zu ändern. In unserem Gespräch geht es auch ein wenig um den Physik Zusammenhang - der sogenannten Quantenchromodynamik (QCD).Dazu ein paar Einführungslinkshttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantenchromodynamik Quantenchromodynamik (QCD)https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gittereichtheorie Gittereichtheoriehttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantenfeldtheorie QuantenfeldtheorieGet in touchThank you for listening!

I had the great pleasure to meet with Morane Gruenpeter and Benoît Chauvet from Software Heritage in Paris in 2023. Software Heritage aims to help preserve and archive software, not only for research but also for the private sector. Unlike research software directories (from whom we will hear later this season), Software Heritage archives the actual code. Morane and Benoit take us through what's involved in that. Links:https://www.softwareheritage.org/ the main Software Heritage portalhttps://archive.softwareheritage.org/ Link to the actual archivehttps://archive.softwareheritage.org/save/ Save code now featurehttps://archive.softwareheritage.org/add-forge/request/create/ Add forge now featurehttps://www.softwareheritage.org/2023/08/08/swh-technical-roadmap-priorities/ Presentation of the 2023 technical roadmaphttps://archive.softwareheritage.org/?guided_tour=0&guided_tour_next=https://archive.softwareheritage.org/add-forge/request/create/ Interactive guided tourhttps://www.softwareheritage.org/howto-archive-and-reference-your-code/ How to archive and reference Research Softwarehttps://docs.softwareheritage.org/ DocumentationGet in touchThank you for listening!

Despite the fact that Fortran has been around since the 1950s, it remains a very relevant programming language today and has an active community of keen engineers. In this episode I'll take a sweep from the origins of Fortran, how to deal with legacy (Fortran 77), how the language evolved to modern day use cases of Fortran. In the course of the episode you'll hear from Thomas Clune (NASA, US), Wim Vanderbauwhede (Uni. Glasgow, UK), Milan Curcic (Uni. of Miami, US) and Ondrej Certik (GSI Technologies, US). Fortran-lang website: https://fortran-lang.orgFortran-lang GitHub: https://github.com/fortran-langLFortran website: https://lfortran.orgLFortran GitHub: https://github.com/lfortran/lfortranMilan's book: https://www.manning.com/books/modern-fortranNeural-Fortran: https://github.com/modern-fortran/neural-fortranFastGPT: https://github.com/certik/fastgptUS Fortran Standard Committee: https://j3-fortran.org/Ondrej's website: https://ondrejcertik.com/Milan's website: https://milancurcic.com/Tom Clune's site at NASA: https://sciences.gsfc.nasa.gov/sed/bio/thomas.l.clune Wim Vanderbauwhede's site at Uni Glasgow https://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wim/pFUnit testing framework https://github.com/Goddard-Fortran-Ecosystem/pFUnit gFTL template library: https://software.nasa.gov/software/GSC-17742-1 Wim's paper (Journal of Supercomputing 2021): Making legacy Fortran code type safe through automated program transformation https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11227-021-03839-9 Get in touchThank you for listening!

Dr Uwe Konrad von der Helmholtz Forschungsgemeinschaft stellt den neuen Preis für Softwareentwicklung vor. Obwohl der Preis im Moment nur für Helmholtzprojekte (oder solche mit hauptsächlicher Beteiligung von Helmholtz) zur Verfügung steht, hofft Dr Konrad dass der Preis Schule macht. Denn schliesslich wird es endlich Zeit, dass Software (und deren EntwicklerInnen) ernst genommen wird und als gleichwertiger Beitrag von Forschungsprojekten anerkannt wird.Die Frist für Bewerbungen ist der 30. September.  Die einzelnen Helmholtzinstitute haben interne Fristen auf die im Gespräch nochmal hingewiesen wird.Der Link für den Preis ist hierhttps://os.helmholtz.de/en/newsroom/news/article/helmholtz-incubator-software-award/Get in touchThank you for listening!

Peter Steinbach leitet eine Gruppe von Consultants am Helmholtz Institut in Dresden-Rossendorf. Die Gruppe ist Teil der Helmholtz AI Initiative und beratet WissenschafterInnen bzgl KI, Machine Learning usw. Neben Fragen über KI in der Wissenschaft hat mich auch interessiert wie Datenwissenschaft mit Software Entwicklung zusammenhängt. Schliesslich sind mehr und mehr Research Software Engineers mit KI und ML Themen beschäftigt. Links:https://www.helmholtz.ai Helmholtz AI Home Pagemailto:consultant-helmholtz.ai@hzdr.de die Kontaktadresse für Helmholtz AIhttps://twitter.com/helmholtz_ai Helmholtz AI auf Twitter (oder X wie es sich jetzt nennt)https://fosstodon.org/@helmholtz@helmholtz.social Mastodon Konto von Helmholtzhttps://twitter.com/psteinb_ Peter Steinbach´s Twitter Kontohttps://fosstodon.org/@psteinb_@beta.birdsite.live Peter´s Mastodon KontoKonferenzen im Herbst 2023https://rsecon23.society-rse.org UK RSE Conference in Swansea, UK, 5-8 September with satellite eventshttps://hidden-ref.org/festival-of-hidden-ref/ Hidden Ref Festival in Bristol, UK, 21 Septemberhttps://un-derse23.sciencesconf.org German Unconference in Jena, Germany,  26-28 Septemberhttps://us-rse.org/usrse23/ First ever US RSE Conference in Chicago, USA, 16-18 OctoberGet in touchThank you for listening!
