our #IASGE (https://investigating-archiving-git.gitlab.io) survey closes TOMORROW at midnight, pacific standard time

we are ~100 responses away from 500, which is the number we really strove for!!

if you have 10minutes and write/reuse code in academia, I would be so grateful if you could take the survey: https://nyu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5ArtYnx6kWMXYNv

and forward it around to all your coworkers/friends/enemies-you-must-work-with we would be EVEN MORE grateful

holy shit first #IASGE paper submitted for peer review!

Sarah and I are conducting 32 #IASGE interviews in the next 2 weeks and we're expecting more to be added 🤯

I just gave a talk at #csvConf about #IASGE -- my Sloan funded project looking at archiving source code + its contextual ephemera (e.g. issue threads). The talk slides are here for any interested parties: https://zenodo.org/record/3823365

The first of it's kind -- #IASGE Lab Notes

Genevieve starts us off with the first of a series, testing how web archiving tools can help with preserving source code + its scholarly ephemera

this first post looks at Archive-It and future posts will look at tools like Webrecorder & Memento Tracer

anyway, read her post here: https://investigating-archiving-git.gitlab.io/updates/lab-notes-archive-it/

📢 CALLING ALL FOLKS WRITING, REMIXING, PRESERVING, & REUSING CODE IN ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS 📢

Team #IASGE would *love* to hear about how you use version control & code hosting platforms, no matter your level of use or confidence in your skills

Our #IASGE slides are up for #c4l20 even though we are LITERALLY THE LAST PRESO OF THE CONFERENCE!

Now for an actual *researchy* #IASGE blog post 🤓

Sarah follows up on her July post on the notable ways in which scholars use Git hosting platforms (like GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, etc.) to cover Notable Way #5 -- Education!

New #IASGE blog post -- from me! I am making my blog debut to do a short IASGE-centered recap of #iPres2019, going over the poster that Genevieve and I presented and two other related projects that were at the conf 💫

Got my inbox down to 30 after being out for a week and not touching email

My top 3 other to-do's for today:

1. review student's research methods statement
2. write 2 tiny lil blog posts on #iPres2019 for the Data Services and #IASGE blog
3. action items for AUL search committee

my Tuesday at #iPres2019 was B U S Y!

I had a panel discussing some qual research on workplace dissatisfaction in digital stewards *and* a presentation on ReproZip-Web/Saving Data Journalism, and tomorrow I have my #IASGE poster

The #IASGE Team is taking a break from our normal research-y posts to talk about the #sanctions against folks in (or who have been linked to) Iran, Syria, Sudan, North Korea, Cuba, and Crimea w.r.t. #Git hosting platforms, most recently #GitHub

New #IASGE post up ✍️

Genevieve, the research scientist for LIS, continuing her environmental scan, wrote about current approaches to self-archiving source code 👩‍💻

Web archiving source code

In this next update from our #IASGE project, Genevieve explores 3 web archiving tools with examples of how some folx are using these existing tools/approaches for capturing source code 📃
