Hi All, I had meant to send this email to the Physics Computing Committee last night rather than the DUGS but didn't check the autocomplete, so my apologies to to Carl and I would welcome any feedback from the committee.

It looks like Friday 12->13:00 is the winner. On the agenda so far I have: - ICT ticketing - RSEs - FAIR data needs I will also ask for a general update from ICT. If you have more items then please let me know (apologies if you have sent something this afternoon - I have been in meetings).

Departmental computing meeting
by David Colling 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Dear All, There will be a FoNS Research Computing Meeting next week and I would like us to have a Physics Departmental Computing meeting before this if at all possible. As we normally have these at lunch time I have set up a doodle poll with 12:00->13:00 and 13:00->14:00 for the rest of this week. You can find the poll at: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/7axxy0ra Two of the things that I would like to discuss in particular (as well as several other things) are: - Research software engineers - how many people in your research groups spend more of their time writing code, often for more than one research area than anything else? If there was a way of pooling this effort that provided employment continuity and a promotion stucture would this be of interest to groups? - FAIR data - how are groups fulfilling their commitments to FAIR data? We mentioned this last time but there is a college wide discussion being had here and I want to make sure that physics' needs are catered for. Best, david
