[WSSSPE] WSSSPE4

[ilian.todorov at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi Dan,

Having WSSSPE4 in the fall is a good idea.

I like the best practices demo idea.  At least my project, DL_POLY, in my group is having a good stab at this (continuous integration and testing, cross OS building system, code coverage, etc.) and we can present.

Having other demos, non-HPC and non-Computational Chemistry, will be fun to have too.  Best practices exists but how they are improved and applied are interesting questions to be answered.  Whether these are followed and whether a research software engineer has the time, resources and infrastructure at their disposal to follow is a different matter.

Regards,

Ilian

Hi Dan,

I think the existing features of the past WSSSPE workshops are fine. If some new components are to be considered for the WSSSPE4 program, then I would suggest the following:

(1) short, hands-on course/demo of sustainable practices such as software citation, benchmarking software quality, etc.;

(2) a poster session to engage undergraduate or graduate students;

(3) follow-up reports from various WSSSPE3 working groups.

Hi,

Please let me know your thoughts about a WSSSPE4 meeting, probably in the fall/autumn.

What would you want such a meeting to accomplish, thinking of what we’ve done previously and what new topics might have come up.

Where should such a meeting take place?

Should we do this along with any other event?

Thanks,
Dan
