FOSDEM is the annual event for all things free and open source software in Europe happening over the 1st weekend in February in Brussels. In this episode I want to talk about one "dev room" (developer room) in particular: the one on Open Research, that has been running since 2020. 

Over the course of a day, we heard from a variety of speakers on topics ranging from climate change to human choreography in computing. 

Curious? Have a listen

I met Deborah at the Research Software Engineering 2024 conference in Newcastle, UK, where she gave an impassioned speech about her drive to carve out a new career and new opportunities in STEM. Here she talks about how she got here and the obstacles she faces.

Happy New Year and Welcome to Season 9 of Code for Thought. The season opens with a ByteSized RSE session - the short online courses with companion episodes for all of you who do science and write code. ByteSized RSE is sponsored by the Universe HPC project. 
Subject for this episode is data visualisation and how you could use the perception features of our brain (see Gestalt psychology) to tell a compelling story with your data. My guest is Kirsty Pringle from the Software Sustainability Institute in the UK.

English Edition: In this last episode of 2024 I want to remember David Mills and his work on the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The tool that keeps our machines in sync. David Mills worked closely with Harlan Stenn from the Network Time Foundation on NTP and I was very fortunate to grab some of Harlan's time to talk to him about NTP and David Mills' contribution. 

Some links (by far not an exhaustive list):

• https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ David Mills homepage at the Uni. of Delaware (which still exists). There are a lot of links to his work on NTP
  • https://eecs.engin.umich.edu/stories/remembering-alum-david-mills-who-brought-the-internet-into-perfect-time
• https://www.ntp.org/ The Network Time Protocol homepage with tons of details and specifications on how it all works
• https://www.nwtime.org The Network Time Foundation
• https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/brief/arch/arch.pdf a presentation on how NTP works
• https://www.nwtime.org/bio/harlan-stenn/ Harlan Stenn's Bio
• https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc778 I think this is the first RFC of the early version of NTP 
• https://www.ntp.org/reflib/rfc/ This contains a list of all RFCs related to NTP

English Edition:  Arnaud Legrand, Christophe Pouzat and Konrad Hinsen, three French researchers, who went through the pain of making research data and software reproducible. Out of that pain grew a set of online courses. I met with them to discuss how they developed the courses, the steps they had to go through and what the courses cover.

English edition [EN]: Niklaus Wirth is one of the computing pioneers and his work inspired many other technologies and a generation of engineers. In this episode I discuss one of his many contributions: the programming language Pascal. And we hear from 3 people who worked and learnt with Pascal in their career: Irving Reid, Todd Jacobs and Charles Forsythe.

[EN] English Edition: "Green computing" had a strong showing at the annual conference for Research Software Engineering in Newcastle, UK, early September 2024. I talk to the presenters, poster creator and organisers of the birds of the feather session on the subject. In addition you hear from Charlotte Pascoe and Poppy Townsend from the UKRI on their project to get us to net zero. And finally, from the platinum sponsor of the conference: CloudKubed https://www.cloudkubed.com.

Also note https://eng.ox.ac.uk/netdrive/ from UKRI, who work towards a sustainable, digital research infrastructure.

ENGLISH EDITION: There are a lot of "large" things at CERN, including the amount of data produced and the software needed to manage and analyse them. In this episode I talk to Laura Promberger and Jakob Blomer from the CERN virtual machine/file system VM/VMFS project about how this set of tools is helping researchers. 
And not just physicists, as CERN VM/VMFS is also used in other areas of the high performance computing community.

My guest for this episode is Dr AJ Lauer. AJ has been working hard to make the HPC workplace a more open and welcoming environment. She was inclusivity chair at SC21 in St Louis, US and worked with other groups such as Women in HPC. Lately, in 2023, she created her organisation 'Thriving Ibis' to work with senior managers and leaders in the field.

In the second part episode on the Turing Way, I meet with contributors like Patricia Herterich and Sarah Gibson - who were part of the original team - as well as Malvika Sharan and Anne Steele who joined later.
Through these conversations I hope to show how the Turing Way transitioned from being an online guide for reproducibility and open science to a thriving community with members across the globe.

What a fun day that was: the National Research Software Day in Hilversum on 23 April 2024. It was organised by the eScience Center in the Netherlands and in the course of this episode you will hear from one of the organisers, Lieke, a keynote speaker - Jenny Bryan, members of a panel discussions on research infrastructure.
But also from 4 artists - because the organisers added an art exhibition to the one day conference.

The Turing Way was created 5 years ago and during the Collaborations Workshop 2024 at the University of Warwick, UK, we had a big birthday party to celebrate the occasion.

In this episode, part 1 of 2 episodes on The Turing Way, I sit down with the founder of The Turing Way, Dr Kirstie Whitaker, who is also the Programme Director for Tools, Practices and Systems at the Turing Institute in the UK. 

You also hear a moment when a new chapter was merged into The Turing Way during this recording, done by Sophia Batchelor.
