<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>You may remember that last year we discussed the influential FAIR
Data Maturity Model developed by the RDA Working Group of the same
name. Another Working Group common to the RDA, FORCE11 and the
Research Software Alliance, FAIR for Research Software (FAIR4RS),
is working to define FAIR for Research Software, as shown by its
name <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>:-)</span></span>. It
would be very useful that knowledgeable people from the
astronomical field have a look at and participate in their
activities.</p>
<p>To join the Group, you can go to the Group web page and push on
the Join button on the right (you have to be logged in with your
RDA credentials to do that). When you have joined you will get the
emails sent to the Group. You can check the email collection in
"Posts".</p>

</p>
<p>The Group organises a Town Hall meeting on 2 February 2021 at
20:00 UTC to discuss the next steps of their work. They will
likely release a set of preliminary documents soon. Registration
to the Town Hall meeting is <a

<p>Cheers</p>
