This award will support a 1.5 day workshop in Arlington, VA to bring together the community of SI2 awardees with the aims of: 1) serving as a forum for focused PI technical exchange, through an early evening poster session; 2) serving as a forum for discussion of topics of relevance to the PIs from topics emerging both from within NSF and from the broader community, by informing the attendees of emerging best practices, and stimulating thinking on new ways of achieving sustainability and of ensuring that the foundation laid by SI2 is preserved into the future; and 3) gathering experiences and a shared sense of best practice that results in a published workshop report. The workshop will bring together researchers who are a proto-community of NSF open source software developers. The meeting will examine the characteristics of the community, and consider whether the products from the program can be enhanced by giving the community a new identify and new way of looking at itself. The meeting will also address citation, attribution, and reproducibility, which are three related topics often discussed in the context of data, but less so in the context of software. The attendees will consider practical steps that could be taken to advance software citation and science reproducibility. Finally, sustainability of software is a major topic for NSF and for the SI2 PIs. The meeting will highlight new ways of thinking about software sustainability, drawing on experts in the field and on recent SI2 EAGER funded projects that are studying the community to help the workshop attendees in their thinking about sustainability.The community outputs of the workshop will be: posters developed by the SI2 PIs that will be shared amongst the attendees and shared more broadly on the workshop web site; an experiences report (licensed under a Creative Commons license) produced by the award PIs, distributed via the workshop web site, via email to participants who will be asked to disseminate among their project colleagues and peers, and via an archive repository through which it will be accessible through a persistent ID; and attendee journalism during the event in the form of a public Google doc and public Twitter stream.

该奖项将支持在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的为期1.5天的研讨会，将SI 2获奖者聚集在一起，目的是：1）通过傍晚的海报会议，作为重点PI技术交流的论坛; 2）作为一个论坛，讨论与PI相关的主题，这些主题来自NSF内部和更广泛的社区，通过向与会者通报新出现的最佳做法，并激发对实现可持续性和确保SI 2奠定的基础在未来得到维护的新方法的思考;以及3）收集经验和对最佳做法的共同认识，从而发表研讨会报告。研讨会将汇集研究人员谁是一个原始社区的NSF开源软件开发人员。会议将审查社区的特点，并考虑是否可以通过给予社区一个新的身份和新的方式来增强该计划的产品。会议还将讨论引用、归因和再现性，这是在数据背景下经常讨论的三个相关主题，但在软件背景下讨论较少。与会者将考虑可以采取的实际步骤，以促进软件引用和科学再现性。最后，软件的可持续性是NSF和SI 2 PI的主要主题。会议将强调思考软件可持续性的新方法，借鉴该领域的专家和最近SI 2 EAGER资助的项目，这些项目正在研究社区，以帮助研讨会与会者思考可持续性。研讨会的社区成果将是：由SI 2 PI开发的海报，将在与会者之间共享，并在研讨会网站上更广泛地共享;经验报告（根据知识共享许可证授权）由获奖PI制作，通过研讨会网站分发，通过电子邮件分发给参与者，参与者将被要求在他们的项目同事和同行中传播，并通过档案库，通过永久ID可以访问它;和与会者新闻在事件期间以公共谷歌文档和公共Twitter流的形式。
