Software developers wanted!
by Simon Hettrick, OMII-UK
Are you a software developer interested in providing a long-term future
for your work? Do you have the time to attend an expenses-paid, one-day
JISC workshop in London on 7 July 2010?
Developers can spend years creating software only to see their efforts
lost because their software's future wasn't adequately planned. We
intend to find the best methods for achieving a long-term future for
software. We will refine these methods with help from developers, and
publicise them so that the whole development community can benefit.
The outcomes of the workshop will shape both the JISC's guidance given
for software development and the work of the newly formed Software
Sustainability Institute. By attending the workshop, you will have a
chance to guide software policy and ensure that it reflects the needs of
developers.
