In this last (English) episode of Season 6, I'll be talking to Sara Petti and Evgeny Karev from the Open Knowledge Foundation. Sara and Evgeny work on a project called Frictionless Data, which aims to make working with (open) data easier and more seamless. Like many organisations around open source and open data they invite contributions from engineers.Some links for the Open Knowledge Foundation and others mentioned in this episode:https://okfn.org Open Knowledge Foundation home pagehttps://github.com/okfn GitHub of Open Knowledge Foundationhttps://frictionlessdata.io Homepage of the Frictionless Data projecthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CKAN the CKAN project https://csvw.org CSV on the Webhttps://datadryad.org/stash Data Dryadhttps://zenodo.org ZenodoSupport the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.

I met Ghislain Vaillant for our interview at the Brain Institute at the Pitié Salpetrière Hospital in Paris. Ghislain has an interesting career path that took him from an RSE role in the UK to the private sector and back to academia (in France) again. Our conversation touches on differences in RSE roles between countries (e.g. UK/France) and how big events shape our careers.

In the second part of the diversity in the RSE community series, I am talking to Mariann Hardey. Mariann is an associate professor at Advanced Research Computing of the University of Durham, UK. She also published a book called 'The Culture of Women in Tech' in 2020. In our conversation we don't only talk about the barriers women and other underrepresented groups in tech still face, but also what is and can be done about it.

I met with Nathan Cassereau and Hatim Bourfoune from IDRIS, a national computing centre for the CNRS (the national research centre in France). Nathan and Hatim work on the Bloom project, an open source large language model, which was created using the Jean-Zay supercomputer. Thanks to Nathan and Hatim I had the chance to take a look at the machine after our interview. LLMs and AI/ML in general have created a lot of excitement. Hatim said he got into AI/ML himself, and he highlighted a Coursera course run by Andrew Ng.

Finally! After a failed attempt in 2022, I managed to visit Simon Pinches and Olivier Hoenen at ITER this time. ITER is the international thermonuclear energy reactor - and its aim is to build a nuclear fusion reactor that produces a surplus of energy in a sustainable manner. And can be used as a blueprint for future power stations.Simon and Olivier gave me the grand tour before we sat down and discussed their work. It was a truly impressive tour - in every way. No less impressive is the work that Simon and Olivier are doing on the software side to help put it all together.Linkshttps://www.iter.org the main portal for ITER.https://www.iter.org/mach more details about the ITER tokamakhttps://www.iter.org/jobs/IPA ITER project associates scheme - as mentioned in the interviewhttps://ccfe.ukaea.uk/fusion-energy-record-demonstrates-powerplant-future/ the record breaking JET tokamak in Oxford, UKhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak a good Wikipedia summary of tokamaksSupport the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.
