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办为期 1.5 天的研讨会，将 SI2 获奖者社区聚集在一起，其目的是：1）通过晚间海报会议，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中出现的主题，向与会者通报新兴的最佳实践，并激发对实现可持续发展和确保SI2 奠定的基础将保留到未来； 3) 收集经验并分享最佳实践的感觉，从而形成一份已发表的研讨会报告。该研讨会将汇集 NSF 开源软件开发者原型社区的研究人员。会议将审查社区的特征，并考虑是否可以通过为社区提供新的身份和看待自身的新方式来增强该计划的产品。会议还将讨论引用、归属和可重复性，这三个相关主题经常在数据背景下讨论，但在软件背景下讨论较少。与会者将考虑可采取的实际步骤，以提高软件引用和科学可重复性。最后，软件的可持续性是 NSF 和 SI2 PI 的主要主题。会议将重点介绍思考软件可持续性的新方法，借鉴该领域的专家以及最近 SI2 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 SI2 PI 制作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；由获奖 PI 制作的经验报告（根据知识共享许可授权），通过研讨会网站分发，通过电子邮件分发给参与者，参与者将被要求在项目同事和同行之间传播，并通过存档存储库分发可通过持久 ID 进行访问；以及活动期间以公共 Google 文档和公共 Twitter 流的形式发布的与会者新闻。
