# Member Email Summer 2022

Dear friends of Nordic RSE,

We have a few big announcements for the spring and for the summer.

 1. We are planning a fall unconference, following the template from last year.
 2. Official due-paying membership in Nordic RSE is now available.
 3. Our annual meeting will be on October 20 2022.


## Fall Unconference
Announcing the next [Nordic RSE unconference](https://nordic-rse.org/events/2022-online-unconference/) online on October 18-19 2022.

Our [Nordic RSE online unconference](https://nordic-rse.org/events/2021-online-unconference) was a success and we are running one again this fall.
We invite anyone who develop software or tools and are driven by research/engineering in either academia or industry.

It is a great opportunity to network, share knowledge and experiences with your peers.

The program will consist mainly of your contributions. We encourage you to submit a short abstract for a discussion topic, talk, demonstration, or any other type of program using our [submission form](https://github.com/nordic-rse/conference-contributions/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=unconference-contribution.md&title=Unconference+event) on GitHub. Note that submissions are public. We will also collect on-site suggestions for contributions. No need to plan ahead!

We will also invite a small number of speakers. We welcome your suggestions on who to invite. Just fill in the [anonymous form to add one](https://forms.gle/f3dFTkBbF22Whnb4A?).

See https://nordic-rse.org/events/2022-online-unconference/ for more details and https://indico.neic.no/e/nordic-rse-2022 to register.




## Membership

Official membership in the Nordic RSE association is now open. See https://nordic-rse.org/about/membership/ for details and instructions for joining.

Note that the membership runs until the end of October. While in the future members can receive discounts for events and get other members-only services, currently the membership fee is only for supporting the association.


## Annual meeting

Our next annual meeting will be on October 20th. The annual meeting is the official highest decision making body of the 
association. In the meeting we will decide on the membership fee, choose a new board, go through and approve our (very short) 
financial statement and discharge the current board.


### Good news about our budget

On a related note, the cost of banking was a concern at our previous annual meeting. We have good news about this, the service we ended up with is much cheaper than we thought then. So cheap, in fact, that we considered lowering or dropping the membership fee. This would have required an additional association meeting, so instead, we encourage you to only sign up and pay the fee if you wish to support some new activities.

These could be local social events, workshops, hackathons or something else. Let us know what you would like us to do.


On behalf of Nordic RSE,
Jarno Rantaharju
