Dear firedrakers,

apologies if you have already received this, but this was sent round on our Bath HPC list and I thought it might be of interest:

I just signed the petition "Everyone in the research community: We must accept that software is fundamental to research, or we will lose our ability to make groundbreaking discoveries." on Change.org.

It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the link:

Thanks!

Eike
