It was a pleasure meeting you all for the lightning talks! Thanks for the presentators and the public for the questions. We had the following talks:
- Carine Dengler: Local LLMs for fun, profit and nonesense
- Nicolas Richart: Spack - a package manager for HPC that can be use on any machine
- Uwe Schmitt (ETHZ): pytest-regtest - a pytest plugin for snapshot testing
In addition, we also discussed new projects for the RSEs at EPFL and beyond. Here is a non-binding list of ideas we had:
- Workgroups
- RSEs and CDD / CDI
- Survey of RSEs (contracts, other activities, preferred days)
- ch-rse.org website
- Environmental impact of our IT projects
- Book clubs (ETHZ is doing one on Pragmatic Programmer)
- Other social activities (joining the existing ones)
- Annual CH-wide meeting
- Training sessions, also with PhD students
- RSE exchange between groups
