Funding Information:
WSSSPE4 included multiple mechanisms for participation and encouraged team building around solutions. It strongly encouraged participation of early-career scientists, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, early-stage researchers, and those from underrepresented groups, with funds provided to the conference organizers by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Software Sustainability Institute (SSI) to support the travel of potential participants who would not otherwise be able to attend the workshop. These funds allowed 29 additional attendees (of 44 applicants), including 11 students and five early-career researchers. WSSSPE4 also included two professional event organizers/facilitators who helped plan the workshop agenda, and who engaged with participants during the workshop.

N2 - This article summarizes motivations, organization, and activities of the Fourth Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE4). The WSSSPE series promotes sustainable research software by positively impacting principles and best practices, careers, learning, and credit. This article discusses the code of conduct; the mission and vision statements that were drafted at the workshop and finalized shortly after it; the keynote and idea papers, position papers, experience papers, demos, and lightning talks presented during the workshop; and a panel discussion on best practices. The main part of the article discusses the set of working groups that formed during the meeting, along with contact information for readers who may want to join a group. Finally, it discusses a survey of the workshop attendees.
