We started the community process to develop an RSE curriculum in spring 2025. Even though we organized a technical pipeline and some modularization, we have not progressed to the point where you should place too much weight on the current state of the prototype in terms of content.
If you want to be part of the community, join our mailinglist https://www.listserv.dfn.de/sympa/info/rse-master.
The current version of the generated curriculum can be found here. This is built with Github Actions.
You can edit the texts that are going to be the foundation of the publication. You can contribute text to the static markdown files:
In parallel to the main publication, small teams are working on particular components. These are the people leading the elaboration of the respective modules so far:
- Scientific (High Performance) Computing: @jpthiele
- Advanced Software Engineering for RSE: @juliandehne
- RSE Nuts and Bolts (Tooling): @captainsifff
- RSE Management (and Communication): @majatoebs
- RSE & Society: hopefully, students of the Digital Changemaker Initiative by the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung
- RSE Philosophy: ?
- RSE Thesis: ?
If you are interested in joining any of the teams, we will be happy to hear from you!
- go to components
- examine files in gen_programming
- copy cat the structure
- add components (modules) from your university to the list of components or add them as mappings in the sources.yml of existing components
- create a new [profil_name].yml in generation/profiles
- run the generation from the generation folder with python generate_all.py --profile cs
- add the profile to _quarto-website.yml as a new tab
- general: contains texts that do not apply to target groups or disciplinary focus
- generation: scripts for combination and generation of quarto project
- root_dir: contains the basic quarto structure files, as well as design elements for html/latex rendering
- components: contains detailed texts and the datastructures for the different templates, here you can add new didactic ideas in a structured format
- event contains the input for the community events etc.
- presentation contains a presentation of the existing concept
- thesis contains ideas for ba/ma theses situated in the project
- ds_thesis submodule is optional. If you don't have access, you can skip initializing it and still work with the main repo.
- external/bibliography is a submodule for the common literature from deRSE
initialize with
git submodule init external/bibliography
