RSH 20: Data preparation and release About data management plans, tidy data format, and FAIR data release
Research Software Hour is an online stream/show about scientific computing and research software. It is designed to provide the skills typically picked up via informal networks: each week, we do some combination of exploring new tools, analyzing and improving someone's research code, and discussion.
Watchers can take part and contribute code to us which we analyze and discuss on stream.
We broadcast on Twitch Thursdays at 20:30 Oslo time / 21:30 Helsinki time. Convert to your timezone.
Follow the Twitter streams @__radovan or @SciCompAalto for updates.
Starting from Feb. 4, 2021, our plan is to have a show every other week. The off weeks may have more advanced but less planned shows. We plan to go through the following topics, roughly from top to bottom (but we will readjust as necessary):
