How can we document software and computational analyses in such a way that others can convince themselves of their validity, and build on them for their own work?

Most regular readers will know about DinoCon, a two-day semi-technical/semi-popular conference being run by SV-POW!’s own Darren Naish.

The first ever DinoCon will be this summer — Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th August at the University of Exeter.
