Hello everyone, Our Research IT Reading Group topic next week will focus on a two-day Knowledge Exchange workshop in Berlin in October 2015, specifically on the recently-published report out of that workshop, *Research Software Sustainabilitiy: Report on Knowledge Exchange workshop <http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/6332/1/Research_Software_Sustainability_Report_on_KE_Workshop_Feb_2016_FINAL.pdf>* .
*When:* Thursday, March 24 from noon - 1pm *Where:* 200C Warren Hall, 2195 Hearst St (see building access instructions below). *Event format:* The reading group is a brown bag lunch (bring your own). This session will be a discussion of the report linked above and below, and will not include a presentation. We will discuss the findings and recommendations in this report, comparing them to experience that Berkeley staff and researchers have had and are having in research-oriented software projects, from the domain-specific to broad, consortially-supported efforts. There will *not* be a presentation at this meeting. Please review the report (linked again below) prior to the meeting: - *Research Software Sustainabilitiy: Report on Knowledge Exchange workshop <http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/6332/1/Research_Software_Sustainability_Report_on_KE_Workshop_Feb_2016_FINAL.pdf>* (PDF) We'll proceed with the discussion assuming that participants have familiarized themselves with the report. ==== *Warren Hall access*: *For those who do not have keycard access to the building, please take the elevator to the second floor (stairwell door requires keycard). Before noon, let the receptionist know you're joining the Reading Group in 200C and s/he will let you in and show you the way. After noon, look for a sign next to the receptionist window to the right as you exit the elevators. We'll post a note with a phone number that you can call or text, and someone will come out to open the locked doors.* Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday of next week, ~Steve P.S. *For those of you who attended last week's meeting or who noticed a different topic in the original bCal event for this meeting, we did need to change topics due to a late-notice scheduling conflict. We hope to invite Robert Miller, CEO of Lyrasis <http://www.lyrasis.org>, to a reading group meeting in the not-too-distant future.* -- Steve Masover Research Information Technology (Research IT) http://research-it.berkeley.edu [email protected] 510-642-8488
