For the 54th time the German Computer Science Society is celebrating the INFORMATIK Festival, an event dedicated to networking and the exchange of information and skills between people working in computer science. This year’s event is hosted by the Hochschule Rhein-Main in Wiesbaden. The DKZ.2R will be taking part in the “Data-Science-Community Workshop” on the last day of the festival. The overarching goal of this workshop is to build bridges and lay the groundwork for sustainable connections between different data-science related projects like the newly founded Data Literacy Centers and other projects receiving permanent funding such as the different NFDI consortia.

Status Meeting of the German Data Literacy Centers

From September 19th to 20th the BMBF is inviting representatives of all eleven Data Literacy Centers in Germany to come together in Berlin and discuss the progress and the difficulties of the projects. There will be two days of workshops with topics ranging from discussions of domain-specific data literacy to strategies and concept for stabilizing data literacy projects. Furthermore, there will be plenty of time for networking with the other Data literacy centers, as well as invited speakers from other data literacy and research data management initiatives such as the NFDI. Our main coordinator, Alicia Janz, and Lukas Bossert from RWTH Aachen University will represent the DKZ.2R at the meeting. We are looking forward to gaining insights into the work of other data literacy centers and learning from their experiences and the measures they are taking to support scientist in their work with research data.

Upcoming!

The Data Literacy Center Rhine-Rhur is issuing a call for participation in its “rent-an-expert” project! This is a great opportunity for PhD students and early postdocs who are working on research projects that involve data science, artificial intelligence, high performance computing and simulation, to get free support from our expert consultants.

Support can take the form of short- or long-term consulting, depending on the needs of the project. More info will be available shortly!

Documentation From User Experience

Documentation From User Experience

This post is a condensed version of a talk at our Data Compentcy College

If you regularly use scientific software written by others, or tried to replicate interesting research that relies on software, you have probably also invested weeks of work to solve a software problem or even given up on a software because of missing documentation. Finding a project that might be the solution to your problem and then failing to run the code is frustrating. Being unable to run a project you have built yourself years ago is even worse. Having experienced all those setbacks myself in the past I want to use this post to channel that frustration to fuel solutions for better documentation for our current and future projects.
