For RSEs around Parkville in Melbourne, I have booked a meeting room with Zoom at 187 Grattan St on the ground floor in the Boardroom.

We should add a recap of the meeting with Auda Eltahla, the new Microsoft Research Engagement Manager, to the agenda

manodeep commented 5 years ago

And thanks @rowlandm for setting this up in the first place

rowlandm commented 5 years ago

Oh yeah! Thanks for remembering Manodeep!

RSE: Difficult as no zoom chat. Tangential Ariane. Software engineering best practices. Feb is good to have Tech Talk. Not techncial enough.

atruskie commented 5 years ago

To write down my spoken comment on the tech talk:

rowlandm commented 5 years ago
  1. Commitment, nomination process, voting process.

Commitment? 2-3 hours per week. Meeting weekly and doing stuff in those meetings.

Gerry and community building eg. face to face meetings. Secretariat. Web presence

Sam - same as ARDC.

Nomination process? Email around community and language is inclusive.Add as a post to the website. Profiles around the nomination process. More research on how to do this.

Voting process? Open it up for voting.

Deliverables 2019. Annual meeting. C3DIS at the end of the meeting.

Meetups.

rowlandm commented 5 years ago
  1. C3DIS 6th to 10th of May. Data Science Week - NCI and Pawsey in that week.

Co-ordinate in the same week. Look at Data Science of Week.

Paragraph of text. 1/2 day, full day. Cost recovery $250 for full day workshop. Sponsorship. Take it to ANU.

ARDC put in a proposal for a 1/2 day around software curation.

Georgie - lots of RSEs from public organisations.

Marketing, personas and profiles. Raise awareness.

Re-use the Aero funding model.

rowlandm commented 5 years ago
  1. Microsoft person.

Regional.

Training as being a separate skill.

rowlandm commented 5 years ago
  1. Jonah Duckles.

Yes, we can get him to talk at next month's meeting.

rowlandm commented 5 years ago
  1. We will need to ensure that job emails aren't the main emails around the Google groups email.

Last website update was in November.

manodeep commented 5 years ago

For the RSE manifesto, I noted this related manifesto on the chat window: https://codeisscience.github.io/manifesto/ The manifesto is here: https://codeisscience.github.io/manifesto/manifesto.html

For workshop funding, sadly none of the funding opportunities from the Academy are relevant to the RSE cause (without being exclusionary to some discipline)

Re: Acknowledgement of Country.

Since we are spread out, it may not be appropriate to acknowledge specific groups. I suggest that we use a broad statement, such as:

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

From the following: https://www.commonground.org.au/learn/acknowledgement-of-country

What about New Zealand? Is there a similar tradition?

rowlandm commented 5 years ago

Good point. I will change it. Thanks Nick
