The Research Software Engineers (RSE)​ hackday on 16 September will focus on the use of activity data to understand mental health issues. To make that work, we need mental health data, so the RSE Committee have stepped up to the plate and will make their activity open to the world - a scary concept. Thanks to Fitbit UK, we're all going to wear Fitbit activity and sleep trackers and make our data openly available.

If you've ever met someone from the RSE Committee, and wondered how they sleep at night, then the RSE hackday is a good place to start! The hackday is associated with the first AGM for RSEs. For more details, see the RSE website.
