Remodelling The Software Development Lifecycle (workshop 4) 'We aim to unpack and remodel the software development lifecycle (SDLC)'

Workshop 4 of 5 on remodelling the software development life-cycle from a feminist perspective, coming up this Friday. If you didn't get a chance to attend previous ones, don't worry, we will start with a recap before starting the next iteration of our proposed feminist life-cycle.

Remodelling The Software Development Lifecycle (workshop 3) 'We aim to unpack and remodel the software development lifecycle (SDLC)'

Today we are hosting our 2nd forum on 'unpacking the software development life-cycle'. Following on from these sessions we are hosting 3 workshops in March (feel free to attend all or pick & choose) in which we "remodel" the life-cycle from a feminist perspective www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/remodellin...

A reminder of this event in two weeks, come talk to us about what you think a 'full stack feminist software development life-cycle' might consist of? What elements of the user testing, software design, requirements, deployment, might be improved through intersectional feminist methods or approaches?

This forum is an open discussion, exploring the potentials of foregrounding the software life-cycle from a feminist perspective to see whether rethinking elements of the life-cycle - how they are performed, operationalised - through a feminist lens may result in more inclusive, less harmful tech.

Unpacking the Software Development Lifecycle If you Google "software development lifecycle" (try it!), you'll get a number of different, but similar, models.

We are hosting a second forum to help inform the development of a "full stack feminist software development life-cycle" #feministsoftware #feministdigitalhumanities

Did You Yahoo? · Full Stack Feminism Exploring the Ethical Challenges of Preserving Dormant Platforms. Peer reviewed by Sharon Webb (Sept. 2023)

'Did You Yahoo?' (2023) In their contribution to the FSF-Toolkit, Avery Dame-Griff uses Yahoo Groups as a case study to explore some of the ethical considerations in preserving content from dormant platforms. #digitalpreservation #transhistories #internethistories #bulletinboardhistory

My new journal article, "Digital Scholarly Journals Are Poorly Preserved: A Study of 7 Million Articles" has now been published in JLSC. If our findings are correct, there is a serious preservation deficit in the digital scholarly record.

Google "software development lifecycle" - you'll get a number of different, but similar, models.

We are exploring what a feminist software development lifecycle might look like. This is an online session to start the conversation- pop along if you can or document your thoughts here #digitalhumanities #feministsoftware
