The election period for the US-RSE Steering Committee has ended. 61 US-RSE members voted in the election.

Last week, US-RSE held its monthly community call. For a topic, we chose “Conducting Constructive Code Reviews”, as suggested on GitHub. Judging from the number of new faces that registered for the call, the US-RSE community is very interested in this topic.

As part of an international effort, the US-RSE has worked with RSE organizations in other countries to develop the 2021 RSE Survey. You don’t need to be called an RSE to complete the survey. Your formal job title does not matter: we want to hear from you if you develop software for academic research as part of your work. The survey provides considerable detail about the RSE role: a person’s route into the role, the type of work they conduct, their working practices, job satisfaction and demographics. This means it takes around 20 minutes to complete. We appreciate that this is a significant amount of your time to donate - and we thank you for it!
