[Apologies if you received this information more than once] Dear GAP Forum,
The Software Sustainability Institute (http://www.software.ac.uk/) had recently initiated the petition to show that software is fundamental to research: research software should be treated as part of the research infrastructure, and if the fundamental role that software plays in research would be overlooked, then an ability to conduct research will be jeopardised. Some more motivation behind the petition is explained here: http://www.software.ac.uk/blog/2014-10-31-researchers-both-rely-software-and-overlook-it I suggest you to have a look, and if you agree, then please consider signing it too. The petition could be signed here: http://bit.ly/SoftwareIsFundamental Please also help to spread the word about the petition by forwarding this email to anyone who may be interested. If you use Twitter, then you may also retweet this tweet: https://twitter.com/gap_system/status/529576262332063744 Thank you, Alexander _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
