RSE book club

June 4, 2024

Hi everyone,

I’m Marco and would like to organise a book club for the RSE community. The idea is to meet every two weeks to discuss a chapter from my book about Software Engineering.

Zenodo

May 23, 2024

From GitHub to Zenodo: pros, cons and integration of the two platforms

As researcher engineers, you understand the importance of efficient version control and collaborative development. GitHub has long been the go-to platform for managing and tracking code changes, but it lacks a built-in mechanism for long-term preservation or citation of code as a research output. This is where Zenodo becomes essential: by assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to uploads, Zenodo easily transforms repositories on GitHub into persistent, citable resources, thereby enhancing the visibility and academic impact of your work. Moreover, you can link your Zenodo account to GitHub to automatically publish each new release of a GitHub repository, without manual uploads.

Open_source_services_meet_up_202403

April 18, 2024

The Center for Digital Trust (C4DT) was excited to host our first Open Source Services Meet-Up at EPFL on March 12th. The meet-up served as an opportunity for members of EPFL’s open source community to gather and share their ideas and experiences. This sharing kicked off with lightning talks which were followed by break-out sessions encouraging attendees to exchange on the subjects that they had voted for prior to the meeting. An informal lunch where participants continued their conversations over pizza concluded the event.
