Reminder to upload publications to XSEDE User Portal
We are quickly approaching the end of the second quarter of XSEDE Project Year 10. If you’ve published anything during the past few months, please remember to upload those to the User Portal. Also, if you haven’t already done so, please upload any papers or posters you presented at PEARC (or any other conferences) to the XSEDE User Portal. The XUP offers the option to import using the DOI which makes it pretty effortless. Don’t forget to choose “XSEDE Staff Publication” from the Related XSEDE Projects dropdown.

The quarter ends on Oct. 31, so please try to get your pubs uploaded before then! This will help us meet our goal of having at least 50 publications by XSEDE staff during PY10!
XSEDE Cyberinfrastructure Integration (XCI) Updates
XSEDE now enables individuals or organizations to manually publish their own software or digital services so that it is discoverable via the Research Software Portal using a new Software and Digital Services Registration Interface. The initial friendly user release of this interface is available to select science gateways, XSEDE service providers, software partners, and to XSEDE Operations. Those interested in testing this capability and willing to provide feedback on how to improve it can contact help@xsede.org and request "Research Software Portal Manual Software Registration access".

Software development best practices include distributing copyright and licensing information with software. As an NSF funded project, XSEDE is committed to developing open source software; however, it can't hold a copyright or enforce licensing. Most software is developed collaboratively by persons from multiple institutions, complicating the normal approach for distributing copyright and licensing information. In consultation with the legal department at XSEDE's lead institution, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, XSEDE is releasing guidance that XSEDE funded software development efforts are encouraged to review, and template files that should be distributed with XSEDE funded software. Please see https://github.com/XSEDE/LICENSE-template for more details.
Submit content to Inside XSEDE
This newsletter is produced by XSEDE staff, for XSEDE staff. It's sent on the last Thursday of every month. If you or your team have something to share with the rest of the project, or something you'd like to see in the monthly newsletters, please contact XSEDE's External Relations team at er@xsede.org.
