Stanford University Research Software Engineer Community

This is the community site for the Stanford University Research
Software Engineers. It is a part of the usrse
GitHub organization, and serves as a portal to grow community around
research software engineering at Stanford.

• How Does it Work? or specifically, what features does the page offer?
• Creating Your Community comes down to creating a clone of the respository in the usrse GitHub organization.

How does it work?

The site offers the following features:

• A site wide search, and “Find an RSE” search to help users find support they need.
• An optional Twitter feed if your group shares an alias.
• Individual pages for your site members. Each individual can share a biography and areas of expertise to better offer support to users.

Additionally, all repositories in the usrse GitHub organization that begin with “community” serve
a json data structure that is used to search across the sites from a common page.
This means that any user can visit this page, and get directed to support at your institution.

community-template site.
