Save the Dates: WSSSPE2.1 & WSSSPE3

WSSSPE2.1 will be at SciPy in Austin on July 10, from 1:30 – 4:30. This was a lot of fun last year, with good discussions from existing projects in how they were working towards sustainability, and I think it will be good again this year. Matt Turk and I will be organizing the event.

WSSSPE3 will be in Boulder, CO, on September 28-29, for 1 1/2 days (exact times to be determined) with at least part of the following day used by the organizing committee to work on a report. Gabrielle Allen, Neil Chue Hong, Sou-Cheng (Terrya) Choi, Sandra Gesing, Lorraine Hwang, Manish Parashar, Matthew Turk, Colin Venters, and I will be organizing.

The web pages on https://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk will be updated as more information is determined.

WSSSPE2.1, WSSSPE3

Progress in scientific research is dependent on the quality and accessibility of software at all levels and it is now critical to address many new challenges related to the development, deployment, and maintenance of reusable software. In addition, it is essential that scientists, researchers, and students are able to learn and adopt a new set of software-related skills and methodologies.

Established researchers are already acquiring some of these skills, and in particular a specialized class of software developers is emerging in academic environments who are an integral and embedded part of successful research teams.

WSSSPE provides a forum for discussion of the challenges, including both positions and experiences, and a forum for the community to assemble and act.
