DESCRIPTION:Open-source research software has become a central part of how
  modern science is produced\, shared\, and reused. Yet the work involved i
 n developing\, maintaining\, documenting\, and sustaining research softwar
 e communities often remains difficult to see\, measure\, and value within 
 research institutions.\n\nOpenPulse is an open research data platform deve
 loped by EPFL Open Science in collaboration with the Swiss Data Science C
 enter. It aims to make research software communities and their contributio
 ns more visible and valued through meaningful indicators related to activi
 ty\, collaboration\, maintenance\, and community engagement around softwar
 e.\n\nAt the first OpenPulse event in November 2025\, participants helped 
 us think through what such a platform could make possible. Through a hands
 -on sprint\, they prototyped ideas around open hardware\, reproducible mac
 hine learning\, open education\, data visualization\, and open-source poli
 cy and governance.\n\nNow\, OpenPulse is ready for its community rollout.\
 n\nThis follow-up workshop invites the community to try out the dashboard
 s\, examine research software projects through a first set of CHAOSS-inspi
 red indicators\, share feedback\, and discuss what we can learn from looki
 ng at research software through the lens of community engagement.\n\nWe we
 lcome researchers\, software developers\, research software engineers\, da
 ta scientists\, research administrators\, IT and library professionals\, a
 nd anyone interested in how research software communities are built\, main
 tained\, evaluated\, and supported. No coding experience is required. Tech
 nical\, conceptual\, strategic\, and community perspectives are equally we
 lcome.\n\nProgramme highlights\n\n	Introduction: What do open-source resea
 rch software communities look like\, and why study them through the lens o
 f community engagement?\n	Live OpenPulse demo by the Swiss Data Science Ce
 nter\n	OpenPulse booth & hands-on dashboard exploration\n	Community roundt
 able on OpenPulse governance\, maintenance\, and sustainability.\n	\n		Tog
 ether\, we will ask: How do research software communities grow and sustain
  themselves? How are decisions made? Who maintains pull requests and bug t
 rackers? What kinds of contributions are visible\, and which ones are stil
 l missed?\n	\n	\n	Lunch discussion and closing remarks\n\nSpots are limite
 d. Register Now and be part of the OpenPulse launch.\nFor more informatio
