I've had a good few days at #FOR2026 (https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/), where I was on a panel, saw a bunch of people I know, and met even more people I didn't know, and then went to the bi-monthly meeting of the Munich RSE #RSEng chapter followed by a nice dinner, and am now ready to go home

At #FOR2026 yesterday, I learned from Carole Goble that

Trust (in another person or organization) can be defined as their:

(Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy) / Self-Orientation

which is from Cathrin Stöver - Chief Communications Officer GÉANT (and in turn, is from Charles H. Green)

I learned about OpenREL (Rights Expression Languages for Open Science, https://www.openaire.eu/community/blogs/highlights-from-osfair-2025-openrel-and-the-future-of-rights-in-open-science) at #FOR2026. I also learned, while searching for this, about a subreddit that shares the same name but has a very different meaning and NSFW content 🙂

It's interesting to me that no one yet (of the first 5 speakers at #FOR2026, a conference on open research) has provided a link to their slides. There's a bunch of interesting things here, but it's hard to follow-up on non-published (non-open?) slides

During #FOR2026, I learned that I should read "Thinking like a business: Reconfiguring relationships to sustain open data infrastructures" by Kathleen Gregory and Dorothea Strecker (https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.27580), which takes a political economy-based look at Dryad

I'm here for #FOR2026 as well - it's just starting and is already interesting in terms of the framing and the upcoming talks.

We're now starting #SERS2026, the 1st International Workshop on Software Engineering and Research Software (https://conf.researchr.org/home/icse-2026/sers-2026?#About), at #ICSE2026 in Rio

If you are interested in any aspect of #ResearchSoftware, including #RSEng, #funding, #publishing, #training, #metascience, #policy, etc., please consider submitting a proposal to and/or attending #IRSC26 (immediately before #RSECon26 in Sheffield, UK, in Sept). We're trying to bring all elements of the #ResearchSoftware community together

ChatGPT as a pirate talking about #RSEs:

Arrr matey! An RSE be a rovin' software engineer, chartin' the high seas o' research and discovery! They be codin' up new tech and keepin' the ship afloat with their mad skills in code and project management. They be a valuable member of the crew, always ready to set sail on the next adventure!

An interesting view of #RSEng tasks at #EPCC from William Lucas and Eleanor Broadway at #SC22 RSE-HPC-2022 workshop. I like the idea of the two arrows on the left
