Feb 27, 2023
Visio

This session will be moderated by Simon Tournier, research engineer at the Université Paris Cité and Inserm at the Institut Saint Louis, on this link.
In a context of reproducible research, one of the challenges is the ability to «capture the computational environment» for redeployment or inspection. And so there is an underlying dimension: the passage of time. Servers are no longer reachable, sources are no longer available, etc.
In this Café Guix, we will present the problem, the archiving solution Software Heritage and how Guix is positioned.
Our aim is to introduce the question of «how to do again later and there what has been done today and here ?» and to initiate a discussion around another corollary question: how to quote a software?
You will find all the information concerning the “Cafés Guix” here.
