US-RSE is a community driven organization, but do you know all the groups in the community? You may have heard someone talking about a “working group,” but do you know what that means?

The US-RSE Association has grown to become a major resource for RSEs and people in RSE-like roles. A primary area of support is in organizing meetings including monthly community calls and working groups. Because of the distributed nature of the research software engineering community across the United States, exaggerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to remote work, most US-RSE activities now take place online. However, co-location and face-to-face meetings have certain advantages for local community building and fostering social connections.

In this monthly newsletter, we share recent, current, and planned activities of the US-RSE Association, and related news that we think is of interest to US-RSE members. Newsletters are also available on our website alongside the growing resources and information on the US-RSE Association. To receive our newsletter, join US-RSE here.
