The Stars, Milky Way, and Local Volume (SMWLV) LSST science collaboration covers a wide range of astronomical topics in the (at least relatively!) nearby universe, in both the static and variable skies, all of which the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is set to provide vast amounts of information for. However, as with most science cases in the "era of LSST", we will be challenged more by our own algorithms, both to reduce the data the telescope will provide and to interpret the resultant analyses, than with the data themselves. After a brief overview of the science collaboration, its members and its scientific interests, I will highlight a few of the areas at the forefront of software development within the science collaboration, such as the challenges around analysis in crowded Rubin stellar fields, large-scale classification problems, and in the treatment of systematics in analysis of the inter-stellar medium and galactic structure.
