We couldn’t do it without you. +On behalf of the Executive Director and the Steering Committee: **we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re so grateful for everything you do.** +Here’s to you — our amazing volunteers! 🎉 👏 ⭐️ + +— [Sandra](https://us-rse.org/about/staff/) + + + +-------- + +# 🛞 **3. Steering Committee Updates** + + +In March, the Steering Committee looked at financing for the US-RSE'25 conference, particularly in light of the current funding climate and the balance between organizational memberships and conference sponsorships, and tentatively approved the conference attendance fees. We followed up on the action items from our strategic planning meeting in February, assigning subcommittees for the areas of focus we identified there. We discussed the potential impacts of hiring a new part-time community manager; expect to hear more on this soon. Finally, we assisted our Executive Director in applying for (and being granted) a no-cost extension to our Sloan funding and also worked with her to debrief the first Organizational Member meeting that took place in late February. + +-------- + + + +# ✈️ **4.

+ + US-RSE Unicorn + +

+ They came as a herd, packed together in a carton, just like how research software engineers come together to build a stronger community. But now, these unicorns are ready to set off on their own journeys—finding new homes with RSEs, allies, and supporters like you. +

+ +

+ This year’s edition proudly wears a red shirt featuring the US-RSE logo integrated with 2025, symbolizing another year of growth, collaboration, and impact. Just like our community, these unicorns remind us that while we each have our own paths, we are part of something bigger—a movement dedicated to advancing research software and supporting those who make it happen. +

+ +

+ By adopting a unicorn, you’re not just getting a fun desk companion—you’re also supporting US-RSE’s mission to strengthen the RSE community, advocate for recognition, and create more opportunities for collaboration. +

+ +

+ 📦 Limited supply—once they leave the herd, they’re gone! +

+ +

+ 🚚 They’ll ship for free within the US! 🚚 +

+ +

+ If you're from another country and want to get your hands on a unicorn, reach out to us, and we'll find out whether we can arrange shipping for you. +

+ +

+ Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of US-RSE magic and donate to get your Unicorn 2025 Edition today. This edition will be available while supplies last until December 10, 2025 ✨🦄✨ +
