Give a short description of your contribution:

I want to ask the participants about what kinds of services or activities they would need to help their lives as technical professionals in academia (which RSEs are). What can we do to make their lives easier, or more fun?

I don't have a lot of suggestions myself.

• Workshops (software carpentry): are these aimed at our members or someone else?
• Conference / local hub events?
• Local (city level) communities?
