Open ecosystems help science storm the cloud
This document discusses how open ecosystems can help science by storming the cloud. It argues that making data, software, and computing resources open through cloud-based platforms removes barriers and allows for more collaborative and interdisciplinary research at larger scales. This approach broadens participation in science and can accelerate progress by building on others' work.
FOSS4G 2021: Open source science
This document discusses the benefits of open science over closed or proprietary approaches to data, software and publishing. It argues that open approaches remove barriers, allow for broader collaboration and participation, accelerate the progress of science, and avoid issues like redundant efforts, high costs and restrictions to access associated with closed models. Specific benefits mentioned include easier data sharing, reproducibility of results, more interdisciplinary research, and the development of better tools through an open and collaborative process.
Building Data Ecosystems for Accelerated Discovery
Large federated data ecosystems require diverse teams that can design, build, and integrate a broad range of services to support scientific workflows. Our collaborative team operates at the intersection of science, technology, and data to assess, implement, and teach the key capabilities and capacities modern healthcare and life science needs. Learn the data management techniques, tools, platforms, and frameworks that are proven to be effective at solving complex problems at scale.
2016 nov-ieee-sdn-wiki
The document discusses the creation of a wiki catalogue to catalog open source toolkits and testbeds related to software defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), mobile edge computing (MEC) and 5G technologies. It notes that there are many toolkits and testbeds but a lack of visibility among researchers. A wiki is proposed to provide a centralized place for researchers, students and developers to discover relevant tools and testbeds. The wiki is being developed in phases, beginning with data collection and developing the initial structure, then opening it for community contributions and updates.

Supporting Software
The document discusses expanding support for software users by providing multiple avenues of help including email lists, FAQs, tutorials, a public issue tracker, and chat rooms. It emphasizes being honest about quality of service commitments like response times, supported platforms and issue scope, as well as types of support offered such as general help or tailored solutions. Alternative resources are suggested to help users help each other through a public archive and code drops while still ensuring individual requests are addressed.
Governance for Software
The document discusses several key aspects of project governance, ownership, exploitation, and funding for software projects, including:
1) Governance models can range from a single leader to a meritocratic model, and the level of control needs to balance the originator's vision with expanding contribution.
2) Ownership is usually defined by copyright, but gets complicated with many contributors; contribution agreements and a single custodian can help define ownership and accountability.
3) Exploitation considers how the software can move forward commercially or as open source, targeting current and potential new users as well as integrators and partners.
4) Funding can come from grants, donations, services, licensing, or spin-
Managing Code in Repositories
The document discusses code repositories and recommends hosting code online for open source projects. It describes how code repositories provide a safe place to store code, manage changes, and collaborate. It then discusses local versus internet repositories and recommends internet repositories for open source projects to avoid hosting burdens. Several popular online repositories are described, including SourceForge, Google Code, and GitHub.
Ssi maintainers
The document discusses enabling smooth transitions between software maintainers. It suggests that when inducting a new maintainer, an experienced maintainer should discuss the software's design, develop code together, and walk through the code. For self-guided learning, documentation like user docs, tests, design docs and commented source code can help navigate understanding. When inheriting a large codebase, inspecting the code, documenting assumptions and designs, and writing tests and user docs creates resources to help future maintainers. Well structured code with tests that demonstrate functionality form a minimal effective handover.

Issue Tracking
Issue tracking allows organizations to manage changes and bugs in an ordered way. An issue can represent any query, occurrence, or task that may impact a project, such as a software bug, request for change, or action item from a meeting. When an issue is reported, it goes through a typical workflow of being assigned, accepted, worked on, and eventually closed or reopened. Popular open source bug trackers include Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA, with Trac being a good example of a lightweight yet powerful option that allows cross-referencing with wikis and version control systems.
Adopting Open Source Software for Longer-term Reuse
This document provides guidance on carefully selecting open source software for adoption and long-term reuse. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating several key factors, such as whether the software meets functional requirements both currently and for the future, has an active user and developer community, provides good documentation and support, remains up to date and interoperable with standards, and has a development roadmap that indicates ongoing support. The document advises asking the developer community questions and provides an example of thoroughly evaluating the Taverna workflow system based on these criteria.

Better software, better service, better research: The Software Sustainabilit...
Ever spotted some great looking software only to discover you can’t get it, it doesn’t work, there is no documentation to help fix it and the developers don’t have the time or incentive to help? Ever produced some software that you want to be widely used or have folks contribute? What’s the sustainability of that key platform/library/tool /database your lab uses day in and day out? Are you helping the providers? The same issues stand for Data (or as we now say “FAIR” Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable Data) and its metadata. Is anyone looking out for Europe’s data services– the datasets and analysis systems you use and you make – the standards they use and the curators and developers who make them? Or is FAIR just a FAIRy story? I’ll tell how two organisations with quite different structures and approaches - the UK’s Software Sustainability Institute and the ELIXIR European Research Infrastructure for Life Science Data – are working for the common goal of better software, better service, and better research.

Aspects of the sustainability of software
Sustainability in software development refers to both the preservation of software over time and the ongoing provision of software as a service. There are two main approaches to sustainable software: 1) Bundle software and dependencies together into a single deployable package. 2) Abstract important algorithms and store as documentation, while abandoning other parts. Sustainable development requires better engineering practices through training and support from the beginning of the development process. The sustainability of software must be addressed at the outset.
Project On-Science
The document describes the first phase of developing the OnScience portal, which involved designing the architecture and schematics. Key points:
- The team split into groups based on skills to work on different phases. Phase 1 focused on architecture.
- Modules like a researcher rating system were planned to make the portal more useful than existing sites. The rating system considered factors like publications.
- Developing a robust e-commerce platform was a challenge to balance user and business interests.
- A dummy platform tested the rating system algorithm by having users create profiles before the public launch.
- The main page layout was designed using interface tools to optimize the user experience. PHP and JavaScript were selected for the technical
Software Sustainability Institute
The Software Sustainability Institute (SSI) provides services to help research groups sustain their software over the long term. It collaborates with groups in various fields to improve key software through advice, training, and partnerships. Case studies describe projects in fields like fusion energy, climate modeling, geospatial data, and computational chemistry. The SSI aims to promote best practices and change perceptions so software is recognized as a valuable long-term asset, not just for initial research. Sustaining software requires support for both technical aspects and community engagement over decades.
Webinar - Design Thinking for Platform Engineering
This document discusses approaching platform engineering with a design thinking mindset. It begins by outlining challenges with existing approaches, such as tools being difficult to use and responsibilities being blurred. It then defines platform engineering and describes design thinking, which integrates user needs, technology possibilities, and business requirements. The design thinking process involves empathizing with users to gain insights, defining opportunities, ideating solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing assumptions. The document argues that applying a human-centered design thinking approach helps focus on outcomes rather than just technology, surfaces conflicts, identifies new opportunities, and involves frequent testing with users. It concludes by recommending getting started with design thinking for platform engineering by identifying and prioritizing problems, engaging stakeholders

Planning your project
Planning is essential for any project that produces software, even if it is research-oriented. Development plans should be detailed enough to provide guidance but not constrain the project. The plan should be useful to the project team and use tools that work best for the individuals involved. The plan should set regular milestones to release work in progress and review progress without locking in scope too early. A product-based approach to planning breaks work down into components that can be estimated, and the plan should include testing, integration, documentation, and release tasks.

Preserving software workshop - Community engagement workshop
- 1. Software preservation Matt Shreeve 7 July 2010 Developer community engagement workshop
- 7. ‘ Classic’ preservation Image courtesy of RGB Kew – not for reuse
- 8. ‘ Active’ Preservation = Cultivation
Editor's Notes
- Classic preservation : ‘putting in aspic’ where the software lies dormant once or more, and the benefit of preservation comes in the future
- Living or active preservation : ‘cultivation’ where software continues to be developed, and the benefit of preservation comes mainly now
