The theme for this year’s Collaborations Workshop (CW14) and hackday is "software in your reproducible research".
It takes place on 26-28 March in Oxford and is organised by the Software Sustainability Institute.
To register for CW14 or the CW Hackday, visit the registration page: http://software.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=628ee3fc74b8ef3497e3a7b66&id=6839f6fc3d&e=3e08e1c7f7
Here's just a few reasons why you should attend... GitHub and Microsoft Research will be on hand with the latest advice on using the cloud for research and open-source collaborative tooling for your research software.
There will be prizes! The top team of the hackday win tablets! Other prizes, mentions on the website - things for your CV - can’t be bad either.
A good tranche of our Fellows will be attending. Not only are they leaders in their fields, they also have a particular interest in research software and its promotion in their domains. Even if you are not from the same domain, the Fellows have learnt some valuable lessons about using software in research.
You will get a chance to hear lightning talks about a huge range of fascinating subjects, and perhaps you could promote your own work, highlight a particular bugbear or make a pitch for the hackday.
We will have a keynote from from Professor Carole Goble on her thoughts on reproducible research!
We will be in the lovely Oxford e-Research Centre (OeRC) and you will be well cared for with coffee and tea, lunch and most importantly digital oxygen: Wi-Fi that can even handle you bringing along a laptop, phone, tablet, Raspberry Pi and smart watch. We will also be having the conference dinner in the historic - and rather fancy - hall at St John’s college.
The Software Sustainability Institute team will be on hand, so if you are interested in our Open Call for projects, would like some ad hoc consultancy, or are interested in running a Software Carpentry bootcamp.
The hackathon will have a pizza evening where you can pitch ideas, form or join a team, and get underway with potentially 24 hours of coding... and the chance of winning prizes.
You will be interacting with funders, researchers, developers, publishers, managers and administrators; the whole spectrum of people dealing with software in research. You will gain an understanding of how people are working effectively together and come home with an up to date understanding of how people are approaching software to support reproducible research.
So learn from other people, promote what you do, come up with ideas and maybe win prizes, but most of all have an enjoyable and informed time. I hope to see you at CW14!
