Mon Aug 26 05:59:41 CDT 2019

The next webinar in the HPC Best Practices (https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf2456f6ec49ebfbf&id=93073a34bb&e=b9db70c2a7) series is:
Discovering and Addressing Social Challenges in the Evolution of Scientific Software Projects
1:00-2:00 ET
Wednesday September 11, 2019
Presenter: Rene Gassmoeller (UC Davis)

Description: In recent years scientific software projects have increasingly incorporated state-of-the-art technical best practices like continuous integration into their development cycle. However, many projects still struggle to create and maintain an active and welcoming user/developer community, and there exists little documentation on what makes a scientific software community successful. In this webinar I will introduce my work — as a Better Scientific Software Fellow — typical social challenges and potential solutions that arise during the evolution of a scientific software project. Aimed at current and prospective software maintainers and community leaders, I will discuss topics such as building and maintaining a welcoming community atmosphere, overcoming skepticism of sharing science and software, mediating between users working on conflicting topics or publications, and providing credit and growth opportunities for community members. Finally, I hope to initiate a conversation among
project and community leaders about what makes communities successful so that we can learn from each other and improve scientific software development together.
Participation is free, but registration is required.
