Project Description This project that will engage with all the other NE cyberteam projects. It would aim to catalyze open sharing of artifacts (software and/or practices) that are produced in those projects. Primary activities would be interacting with the other projects to help them make their outcomes into reproducible and reusable artifacts (for example github code repos, readthedocs howtos etc...) that can help others benefit from whatever the project itself learned in tools and techniques. Aside from practical benefits, this would create a more distinctive dynamic for NE cyberteam than just be a source of tax payer subsidy for individual PI research. It would could help cement a set of core practices/recipes across projects that would benefit the trainee students too. It would help the NE cyberteam project understand how the specific activities of the scatter of projects can be proactive connected to the broader landscape of cyberinfrastructure tooling and workforce development/professionalization.

What will the student learn? How to be a professional cyberinfrastructure community participant.
What will the mentee learn?
What will the Cyberteam program learn from this project? How much the disparate and eclectic community can be molded to provide some common, mutually beneficial outcomes. How to encourage PIs not to simply consider projects done because they had a poster, but nobody can benefit from their technical/methodological learning etc....
HPC resources needed to complete this project? This should probably be headed "cyberinfrastruture" resources
github, discourse, readthedocs, software carpentry tools, open source catalog publishing sites, growing (maybe) US research software engineering network.....

also email and visits with the other projects to understand what they are/aren't in a position to contribute.
