Invite Kara Moraw and Neil Chue Hong to give a tech talk on mining GitHub repos

[llewelld]

At RSECon24 Kara Moraw and Neil Chue Hong from EPCC presented a poster on the topic of Mining RSE repository timelines on GitHub: How long will it live, and who will notice?.

This generated some fascinating results in relation to project success, project lifecycles and how to foster communities; there may also be interesting links with #9.

I'd personally be interested to hear more about the topic so was thinking there might be scope to invite them to talk about their work at a tech talk.

I've emailed Kara and will report back her response.

Although in my action I promised to copy in the repo-analysis team I decided against in the end. Copying in multiple people can look a bit intimidating. If Kara's interested I can introduce people in to the conversation.

Moved to "In Progress".

The talk took place on 12 November and was really excellent. For details, including slides, see the Previous Tech Talks page (internal only).

Closing as completed.
