    Dear all,
    I’m delighted to share the link to the official results of the first
    french national open science awards for free software in research, that
    were unveiled this saturday February 4th, during the track dedicated to
    software in open science :
    – original french version on the website of the ministry of research

    – automated english translation

    The variety and depth of these contributions (some started as early as
    1984!) is an inspiration for us all.
    In due time, we will publish more details about the organization of these
    awards, which has required a considerable amount of work, and we hope to
    see more countries follow the example set by France.

    Dear Paula,
    thank you so much for sharing.
    I do not necessarily agree with everything that is written therein (in
    particular, I strongly disagree on the statement about patentability of software
    in the companion “Research Software Guidelines” [1]), but I like these documents for
    several reasons:
    – the key policy is stated clearly in the introduction
    – it provides a decision diagram (technically, it’s not a tree ;-))
    – the drafting committee involved a variety of expertises and put researchers in the loop
    – they are approved by the board of the University
    – they are public
    It is a great example to follow.

    Roberto Di Cosmo
    [1] despite the existence of 30.000+ software patents delivered by the EPO, and
    repeated efforts from lobbys to alter Article 52 of the European Patent
    Convention (https://fsfe.org/activities/swpat/status.en.html), the legal
    value of a software patent in Europe is far from established. The experience
    I am aware of with software patents is that they cost a fortune, their
    legal value is uncertain, and they are mostly useless in practice for
    performing technical transfer around software.

    Dear all,
    similar discussions have been taking place about software (that is not just a
    special case of data), and the following short summary may be of interest for
    your work in this area.
    Of course, Bib(La)TeX entries are not meant to contain all relevant metadata
    about software, there are other standards for that (like CodeMeta): for example,
    we do not expect to find individual author roles or affiliations recorded there.
    Nonetheless they are extremely useful when it comes to citing software in
    publications, creating bibliographic reference lists, producing activity
    reports, etc.
    Hence the importance to have proper support for software entries in BibLaTeX,
    but, like for @dataset, the @software entry in the stock BibLaTeX is just
    another name for @misc, and does not fit the bill at all.
    A significant amount of work has been done to determine:
    – the fields needed to describe software in a bibliography
    – the kind of entries needed for capturing the software facets
    (@software alone is not enough)
    – the best way to make these new fields and entries supported in existing stlyes
    This has led to the development of the biblatex-software package, included in
    all recent TeXLive distributions, and also separately available from CTAN at
    https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-software
    This package is a /style extension/, that can be used to add to any existing
    BibLaTeX bibliographic style support for the folloing four entries:
    @software
    @softwareversion
    @softwaremodule
    @codefragment
    Biblatex-software supports inheritance between these entries, and provides a
    broad set of parameters that allow to tweak the rendering of bibliographies as
    desired, see the extensive documentation at [1] for more information.
    It would be great to see a similar work done for @dataset, and I hope this
    information about what we did for software (not only the technical
    implementation, but also the process that led to it) may be of help
    All the best

    Dear Brigitte,
    thank you for your interest in the work done in the Software Source Code
    Identification Working Group, that led to the report you mention.
    Morane Gruenpeter, from my organization, did the heavy lifting of structuring
    and coordinating this effort: she is in Cc: of this mail, and I am sure she
    will be delighted to give a lightning talk.
    I take this occasion to attract your attention to these other works that

    Hi Tovo, all,
    this ended up being the week we announce in Italy the creation of the
    first institutional mirror of Software Heritage, among other things, so
    unfortunately I cannot be in Helsinki this time 🙁
    Nonetheless, we did a great amount of work at the Research Software
    Hackaton in Edinburgh last week, and Morane will post an update with the
    outcomes as soon as the material is sorted out.
    I believe that Martin and Neil are there, so you can surely catch up with
    them a bit 🙂
