[Chicago] \welcome Scientifc SIG

[Mark Mandel]

Hi Loren,

Sheila’s links look great for substantial projects. If you (or other folks) might be interested in having a significant impact and shaping the direction of a new project I would put in a plug in for the work I talked about at ChiPy last week: https://github.com/mandel01/pyinseq

We are a small local lab, and right now I am the only one working on the software side. We are looking to build resources and would love help. If there are steps I could take to describe our objectives and ambitions more clearly I’d be happy to do so in whatever manner is most useful. We are at very early stages, but looking ahead are eager to incorporate into larger projects and maximize the impact of the work.

Regards,
Mark

There are communities around both that result in projects like the Open Science Framework or communities of practice where people with devops skills can look at how researchers are learning to do "reproducible deployments" for their papers. The classical concept of literate programming comes from people writing reproducible papers. Mozilla Science Lab runs events where people get together to work on projects. Software Carpentry focuses on training scientists in learning enough programming and techniques to do research well.
