⬡ Today, we become the Institute for Research Software. For 15 years, we've worked as the Software Sustainability Institute to make research software more sustainable and properly recognised.

It's the last day of August, and this month, we wish to express gratitude to every community member who contributed in any way over the years to Data Carpentry's recently retired curricula. 🌟 Check out more news in our August newsletter and subscribe: us14.campaign-archive.com?u=46d7513c79...

It also hurt to have to push back the launch date for @hpc-carpentry.bsky.social. Most of the work is already done, but the HPCC community deserve a launch that we can devote our full attention to, and that simply isn't possible right now. Their time is coming soon! [4/4]

I am eternally grateful to all the community members who contributed to the Data Carpentry Geospatial and Astronomy curricula over the years, helping countless learners develop vital skills to advance their research. I hope they will keep working on these lessons and making a difference [3/4]

For the Curriculum Team, that meant retiring some curricula & pausing my beloved Collaborative Lesson Development Training program. It also forced me to finally admit defeat and close down peer review in The Carpentries Lab – something that TBH I've not had capacity to coordinate in some time. [2/4]

This was a difficult blog post to write, but an important one. With the impending reduction in Core Team capacity, we had to make tough decisions about what work we put down. [1/4]
