While at the conference in Karlsruhe, Germany, I presented one talk and one poster. + +The talk was: Katz, D. S., Clifford, B., Hunter Kesling, K., Chard, K., & Babuji, Y. (2025, February 25). **Research Software Phases, Sustainability, and RSEs.** 5th conference for Research Software Engineering in Germany (deRSE25), Karlsruhe, Germany. Zenodo. + +> Research software projects often are initially funded by a grant that supports development of the software. But when the grant ends, the projects have to shift to another model to support the required software maintenance, if the software is going to continue being used. This talk will look at the Parsl project and its effort to become sustainable, across a set of project phases. It will also look at the different kinds of RSE work that have taken place during the project. These activities, phases, and developer types appear to be useful concepts for planning or studying other research software projects, or research software as a whole. The talk will be partly aimed at finding others who want to collaborate on understanding how general these results are, and how much they can benefit other projects. + +After the talk, a few people came up to me to say that they had similar experiences, and we started discussing a collaborative paper to look at three such projects. + +The poster, which was also presented at US-RSE'24 in Albuquerque, was: Yehudi, Y., Cashman, M., Felderer, M., Goedicke, M., Hasselbring, W., Katz, D. S., Löffler, F., Müller, S., & Rumpe, B. (2025). **Towards Defining Lifecycles and Categories of Research Software.** deRSE25 Conference, Karlsruhe. Zenodo. + +> Research software comes in many forms at various stages of development. Traditional software engineering models often fall short in meeting the unique needs of Research Software Engineering (RSE) projects, confusing users, developers, funders, and stakeholders. +A collaborative effort between software engineering researchers (SERs) and RSEs at a Dagstuhl seminar aimed to address this issue. The group found discrepancies in terminology and definitions, such as varying views on the stage of a software project. +Through their work, they explored concepts like software maturity, intended audience, and future use. This poster presents a working categorization of research software types and an abstract software lifecycle model that can be customized for different projects. The goal is to guide decisions and development standards tailored to each stage and team. +Community input is sought to improve these tools in future iterations. + +There was a lot of good discussion about the poster, and I captured the contributions of others as sticky notes, as seen below. The group of authors is now considering writing a paper based on this to a call open to deRSE25 attendees to expand their presentations into papers. +![Poster with sticky notes]({{ site.baseurl }}/assets/img/post-2025-03-28/poster.jpg "Poster with sticky notes"){:style="display: block; margin: auto; max-width: 600px;" } + +In addition to presenting, I also enjoyed attending. I was also at deRSE last year, so I've gotten to know a number of people in the German RSE community, and it was nice to meet them again and to be able to find out about their recent work. + +A few other random thoughts: + +* I was surprised by the number of talks that had slides decorated with generative AI images. In some cases, the images were helpful in illustrating the ideas, but in many, they were just visual noise that, for me, took away from the actual content of the talk. +* I felt like there were a lot of quite different views of what RSEs are, how they work, how they fit into an organization, and how they work with one or more projects. I guess this isn't much different than the US, though I did feel like there might have been some systematic difference between the experience of RSEs in the two countries, but not in a way I can easily describe. +* Having the RSE and SE meetings co-located, with some common events and common breaks, was useful, and I am envious that this happens in Germany. I wonder if we could get a subset of the US SE community to work more closely with US-RSE, or at least to talk more together? + +Again, I really appreciate the support from US-RSE that enabled me to attend this meeting! + diff --git a/_posts/newsletters/2025-03-28-newsletter.md b/_posts/newsletters/2025-03-28-newsletter.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..294ae697c --- /dev/null +++ b/_posts/newsletters/2025-03-28-newsletter.md @@ -0,0 +1,391 @@ +--- +layout: post +title: US-RSE March 2025 Newsletter +subtitle: March 2025 +category: newsletter +tags: [newsletter, March] +--- + +### 🎊We're back!🎊 + +After a brief hiatus, the US-RSE Newsletter is back in production! + +In this monthly newsletter, we share recent, current, and planned activities of the US-RSE Association, and related news that we think is of interest to US-RSE members.

Our Executive Director Sandra Gesing was at Capitol Hill!**🤵‍♀️ + +> This week, I had the opportunity to visit Capitol Hill for a series of energizing and insightful meetings with congressional staff. The atmosphere was buzzing—with long lines to get into the buildings and not much seating beyond the occasional restroom bench! I met with staff members from the offices of Senator Adam Schiff, Senator Richard Durbin, Representative John Garamendi, Representative Mike Thompson, and Representative Ken Calvert. We had thoughtful conversations about the critical role of workforce development, nonprofit organizations’ impact, and Research Software Engineers’ growing importance. It was a great first step in getting US-RSE on their radar. + +— [Sandra](https://us-rse.org/about/staff/) + +

Starting in January, we welcomed our newest SC member Cordero Core, reviewed our SC roles, and added new internal roles for Conference Liaisons and chairs for the Awards and Community Funds Working Groups. Ian Cosden remains the Steering Committee Chair, and the full list of roles is available on the [website](https://us-rse.org/about/steering-committee/). + +January also brought many changes in the political and research climate, and the SC devoted much of our meeting time to discussing how to address these issues within the organization. Initial community feedback suggested the preferred way forward is to continue with our current policies while keeping an eye on the situation and continuing to listen to community input and concerns. + +Two notable events happened in the first couple months of the year. First, in February the SC and Executive Director held our annual strategic planning meeting; you can read more about what we focused on and future plans in an upcoming blog post on the topic. Second, in support of the Organizational Membership program, a subset of the Steering Committee supported our Executive Director's first meeting with representatives from organizational members, where we received valuable feedback from these organizations. + +In addition to the above, we've been working on a number of other efforts. These include: +* Collaborating with our USRSE'25 Conference Chairs in support of our annual fall conference. +* Acting on updates from our Executive Director about ongoing work with ONet, fundraising, and our Organizational Membership program. +* Defining and documenting processes for governance and administration of the US-RSE organization to ensure smooth transitions of responsibilities in the future. +* Hiring a part-time student to take over some administrative tasks, including compiling this newsletter! + +-------- + + + +# 🎁**4.
