por Alexander Gutiérrez Becker El México del siglo XIX vivió décadas de intensos debates en torno a la forma de gobierno que convenía adoptar a la nación tras su separación de España. Entre los conflictos más fuertes que tuvieron lugar en esas décadas estuvieron los provocados por la definición de la relación que debían tener la Iglesia Católica y el Estado.

It’s April Cools! Last year I wrote about friendship bracelets and the year before about cocktails. This year it’s parenting. Parenting articles are a dime a dozen and always bury the lede behind a long story. I’ll skip that. How to think about your child and your role as a parent These are framing devices. Concrete things to do to work toward these are in the next section.

Last week I attended the Open Science Retreat (#osr24nl) in a quite and relaxing region in North-Holland. The meeting was how I like all meetings to be (and I count myself lucky many of my meetings are like this): open, welcoming, constructive, diverse, and intellectually challenging. Not all scientific meetings are like this and it is easy to end up going to obligatory meetings where the discussions are of a different level.

I think of a community as a state (-ity) of having a purpose in mind (mmun->mean) together (co-), not as an endurable space. I think of a forum as an endurable space, as a doored (from the Latin fores , i.e. door) space of focus (from the French foyer ). How many makes a community? I don’t know.

This is one of those things that has been sitting in my brain, gradually heating up and getting denser, until it achieved criticality, melted down my spinal cord, and rocketed out my fingers and through the keyboard. Stand by for caffeine-fueled testifyin’ mode.

Dear rOpenSci community, This is a bit of a bittersweet announcement… After nearly 13 years, it’s time for me to step down as the Executive Director of rOpenSci. In the summer of 2011 I co-founded rOpenSci alongside a group of dedicated colleagues. What began as a casual collaboration among open science enthusiasts quickly evolved into something far more meaningful.

Estimada comunidad rOpenSci, Este es un anuncio un poco agridulce… después de casi 13 años, es hora de que me retire como Director Ejecutivo de rOpenSci. En el verano de 2011 cofundé rOpenSci junto con un grupo de colegas dedicados. Lo que comenzó como una colaboración informal entre entusiastas de la ciencia abierta evolucionó rápidamente hacia algo mucho más significativo.

I am pleased, excited, and humbled to announce that I am stepping into the role of Executive Director of rOpenSci starting April 1. First, let me give my gratitude to our outgoing Executive Director and friend Karthik Ram for his leadership and mentorship running rOpenSci the past decade. He’s been a steady hand and visionary that helped our community accomplish so much together in this time.
