RSE Melbourne Meetup (Aug 2018)

This page holds the various topics we discussed at the RSE Melbourne meetup. Goal would be to have the discussion in github issues and then transfer them here for posterity.

How can we build the RSE community in AU/NZ?

How can we get more funding for RSEs?

What are the benefits (opportunity costs) of supporting RSEs?

How well do academic specialists-type roles fit with RSEs?

What should be the KPIs for RSEs?

Are software papers the solution for measuring RSE productivity?

Should training researchers be part of the RSE job description?
