Sometimes it is difficult to just get on with stuff when the war in Ukraine is already lasting two years and there's a genocide going on in Palestine and we're saying things such as post-covid and we can't even get easy things right such as no lemonade tax on plant based milk..
Sigh.

National research software day is starting now! I'll be tooting today under the #NRSD2024 tag! Looking forward to hearing the keynotes by Rogier Kievits and @…, as well as the unconferencing later! Apparently there is also a photo booth and an art display!

Rogier highlighting how the #OpenScience fund in the Netherlands is a great start, but it is also not a lot of funding compared with other programmes that NWO funds, and it is not covering maintenance costs in the future after the project ends.

We're only five minutes into the conference and an image of @… is popping up. It is not just @… that defines reproducibility according to the picture in the slide; this is a community accepted definition :) #NRSD2024

#NRSD2024
Thinking about skills for supporters, researchers to enable reproducible and sustainable #ResearchSoftware in a smaller group.
What do you want them to care about?
What would you like them to know?
What would you like them to do in the training?
@toothFAIRy@scholar.social2024-04-23 10:38:08
#NRSD2024 We need stakeholders to become more aware of the why sustainable and open #ResearchSoftware matters, human infrastructure that needs to be in place to support this, facilitate training and learning in this area, set up appropriate policies, sort out responsibilities between the researchers and supporters, amongst other things.
Sounds like some homework for after the conference...

Coffee break time! I'll join the 'Defining Research Software Skills for Researchers, Research Supporters and Decision Makers' session afterwards!

A question from the audience at#NRSD2024 is whether it should be faculty working on #OpenSource or not. Rogier is highlighting how Faculty is taken more seriously and that permanent contracts are better to reward people in these roles. Interesting discussion to have with different #TIR roles popping up - should these all be faculty in that case? This does force some management roles onto the person as well, which may not be ideal for specialists...
@toothFAIRy@scholar.social2024-04-23 08:50:54
#NRSD2024
Rogier is asking why we can't have #OpenSource faculty positions where the majority of the time is spent on software development. This could look like the new Comenius funding for teaching faculty (who are also still trying to figure out how this works in practice, but there is at least a start :)

personal music stuff
Listened to some Dire Straits and realised that I could get through things without crying - fell into a YouTube hole which led me to a song I never had strong feelings about:
Mike The Mechanics - The Living Years

That one just ffing punches you in the stomach the first time you listen to that after you lost a parent. I did not even have beef with mine and it runs you over like a truck.
