BoF: Bring out your codes
Increasing software visibility and re-use
ADASS XXII, Champaign, IL
Bring out your codes (please!)
Monday’s BoF sought answers to the following seven questions…
Discussion question #1
How do we ensure code release is recognized as an essential part of assuring reproducibility of research?
Discussion question #2
How can the community change the culture so developers will release their programs?
Discussion question #3
What can we do to ensure code authors receive credit for writing and releasing their software, and encourage them to release it even if it's "messy" code?
Discussion question #4
How do we reduce expectations of support when a developer does not wish to (or cannot) take on that role after program release?
Discussion question #5
What role might journal publishers and funding agencies have in furthering code release, and how can the community influence them to take on that role?
Discussion question #6
How can universities be convinced to change policies which prohibit software publication?
Discussion question #7
Can funding agencies and publishers encourage documentation of programs, and if so, how?
The answers…
… are still out there.
