# NeIC AHM poster session

This document: https://hackmd.io/@coderefinery/poster-session

The text below will later be turned into a poster.
Context and more details [here](https://indico.neic.no/event/237/page/86-poster-session). But before we put things on a AO poster, we can first draft the text part.

pass: `CR@ahm2023`

Please add new stuff also to the conceptboard

## Questions

Something about the project activities, goals and people
- CodeRefinery supports scientists by teaching good-enough practices for computational research
- It does this by:
- It's main tools workshop
- Sharing other workshops among partners
- Developing and sharing world-class online teaching practices

What are you working on that should be relevant to all e-infrastructure projects?
- Methods for collaborative online training
- ~~Most projects produce something for use by others~~
- Without good outreach - including teaching - the impact of that work may be small
- Our teaching methods are perfectly suited to other types of e-infra projects
- Methods of sharing work across organizations

What will be your legacy in 10 years?
- A generation of researchers producing better computational work
- ... leaving a secondary legacy of a generation of better research software
- Open and reused teaching materials, even if our teaching no longer is happening
- Hopefully, better teaching by a generation of other teachers.
- A generation of Research Software Engineers eager to keep our legacy of teaching and mentoring ongoing
- ~~They helped putting focus on research software as a valuable and useful research output and they taught us how to make that output more useful.~~

What are your most challenging problems? (PESTLE?)
- Explanation PESTLE: political, economic, sociological, technological, legal, environmental
- The legal and fiscal challenges of turning this into a legal entity
- Keeping volunteers and volunteer organizations engaged

What in the project are you most proud of?
- The community and training network
- That we work in public

What problem will have been tackled and solved when the project ends?
- Huge amounts of research software which is wrong, not reusable, or lost
- Teaching for the new age: beyond sitting in a classroom, requiring travel + time.
- There is an answer to the question: what to do after attending a novice Carpentries workshop
- There is experience and expertise in how to run a collaborative online event

What will still not be solved after the project ends? What is the reason for this: is it due to politics, missing technology, time limitations, etc?
- The one platform for Nordic academic software hosting: universities prefer to each provide and maintain their own.
- Training in research software engineering will still be needed, and requires someone to do it. Training in training will still be needed. It will take time for the new approaches to become establishment. This needs an operational budget from somewhere, not a project budget.

## Points we want to make
- How people can teach with us?
- How people can reuse our materials?
- How to collaborate etc.

## Other remarks
- Samantha's pics are so cool they need to be included here
