Good science builds on and improves the work of others.
But to do so, we must know what others are doing. In solar physics, we have journals, meetings and newsletters such as this one … but they are primarily for scientists.
There are a large number of people who support science, but aren’t scientists themselves, who could benefit from similar information sharing.
As such, we are announcing the ‘code4solar’ mailing list, for programmers, sysadmins, webmasters, DBAs and other IT & IS professionals who support the solar physics community. The mailing list will be project and language agnostic.
In its first week, 36 people joined from 14 different institutions, including information technology and information science professionals and solar physicists involved in our community’s major software projects.
