July 27, 2024
Dear RSE members,
Have you ever had the feeling that you need way too much time to understand what your code does? Then I am happy to announce the next code review day on Wednesday 28th of August at the HIT building. We’ll be looking at your code and help you to improve it.
Common topics so far were:
- writing unit and functional tests, a simple way to improve your code
- what data structures to use for which problem
- and many more
Write me an email if you want to participate, marco.gaehler@gmx.ch. Most topics are also explained in my book available at https://github.com/gaehlerm/SoftwareEngineering and let me know if you have some feedback on my book.

Illuminating Presentations were done
Our lineup of lightning talks is sure to spark your curiosity:
- Valérian Rousset: WebAssembly introduction: Discover the power of WebAssembly, use cases, language support Presentation
- Bryan Perdrizat: Do you really know git? Presentation
- Reto Trappitsch: Packaging Python CLIs and GUIs for air-gapped machines Presentation
Thanks for the three presenters, and all the people participating in the discussions on these topics.
Our next RSE lightning talks will probably be in September.

Hi everyone,
I’m Marco and would like to organise a book club for the RSE community. The idea is to meet every two weeks to discuss a chapter from my book about Software Engineering.

From GitHub to Zenodo: pros, cons and integration of the two platforms
As researcher engineers, you understand the importance of efficient version control and collaborative development. GitHub has long been the go-to platform for managing and tracking code changes, but it lacks a built-in mechanism for long-term preservation or citation of code as a research output. This is where Zenodo becomes essential: by assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to uploads, Zenodo easily transforms repositories on GitHub into persistent, citable resources, thereby enhancing the visibility and academic impact of your work. Moreover, you can link your Zenodo account to GitHub to automatically publish each new release of a GitHub repository, without manual uploads.
