Café Guix - Reproducible software environment, in what timeframe?

Nov 21, 2024

Visio

26 november from 1pm to 2pm

This session will be led by Simon Tournier (Université Paris Cité) on this link.
The question of Reproducible Research implicitly raises the question of time. It’s not just a question of being able to redeploy exactly the same software environment just now. The issue of the software environment for Reproducible Research is about the ‘later’ of this redeployment.

This raises two questions: firstly, can we already talk about a reproducible software environment? And if not, when? What’s missing? Then, what are we doing today to prepare for ‘later’? Can we evaluate this later? 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, more? Here, through the prism of Guix, we propose to discuss some of this.
