Maintaining open-source software over a decade
Details
Come join us for the third in-person DMV Research Software Engineers meetup in Washington DC! This is a great opportunity to learn about a new RSE topic, connect with fellow RSE professionals in the area, and make friends!
In this meeting, we’ll hear from Ryan Dale, a senior scientist and Head of the Bioinformatics and Scientific Programming Core at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development who will share insights what it takes to maintain software for 14 years (and counting). Ryan's talk will touch on various hot topics in research software engineering like journal article citations vs. actual usage, engaging with a community of users, working with GitHub and various online providers, building out your online CV, and more.
DMV-RSE is a regional group of the US Research Software Engineer Association.
