We know there&#8217;s dragons there, don&#8217;t know what they look like, but we&#8217;re planning to kill them anyway.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Need data management policy and a national solution. And if going to invest all this money in research don&#8217;t want to delete all the data so need to work on preservation too.<\/li>\n<li>Good to see REANNZ looking at service level and tools. Lots to learn from Australia about where we need to put our efforts.<\/li>\n<li>There is a policy direction from government around access and reuse of data. Challenge is around how to most effectively implement this. Especially re publically funded research (cf commercially sensitive) there&#8217;s an expectation that there&#8217;d be access to the results and, where possible, the data. But still work to do.<\/li>\n<li>Users who don&#8217;t get help can get something out of the system; but users to do get help can do a whole lot more. Hence software carpentry sessions. [Cf <a href=\"http:\/\/datapub.cdlib.org\/software-carpentry-and-data-management\/\">this blog post about software carpentry<\/a> I coincidentally read today.]<\/li>\n<li>Peer instruction becomes very important &#8211; need someone who&#8217;s doing similar things to come in and teacher researchers and students.<\/li>\n<li>Can embed slides, photos, etc into &#8216;abstract&#8217; pages linked from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eresearch.org.nz\/event\/eresearch-nz-2013\/programme\">conference programme<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Many tools and skills great to instill in people but don&#8217;t always fit with packages &#8211; eg version control doesn&#8217;t really work with MATLAB. \ud83d\ude41<\/li>\n<li>Therefore &#8220;the less software researchers write, the better&#8221;. There&#8217;s a limit to how much we can afford to maintain.<\/li>\n<li>Benefit to software carpentry is so people can collaborate on software rather than write your own. The best software is what lots of people work on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selected notes from the audience inspired by today&#8217;s sessions: Synergies between sectors, between Australia\/New Zealand.
