Ceci est le deuxième article de notre série d’entretiens “Rencontre les stars de l’univers R”.Notre objectif est de présenter les groupes de travail et les personnes qui se cachent derrière le développement des logiciels et des paquets que nous utilisons et qui sont disponibles dans le R-univers.Nous voulons mettre en avant et explorer différentes équipes et projets du monde entier, le travail qu’ils font, leurs processus et les personnes qui

This is the second post of our interview series “Meeting the stars of the R-universe”. We aim to introduce the working groups and people behind the development of software and packages many of us use and which are available through the R-universe. We want to highlight and explore different teams and projects around the world, the work they do, their processes and users.

The Champions Program got off to a great start in 2023! We’re happy to report on the first couple of months in our first run of the rOpenSci Champions Program. In September 2022, we launched the program, advertising for both mentors and mentees to apply. We received a total of 102 applications from 31 different countries. Seventy-four applications were for champions and twenty eight for mentors.

We are excited to announce that, with the support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, NumFOCUS, and the R Consortium, we have begun the process of translating rOpenSci’s materials on best practices for software development, code review, and contribution to open source projects into Spanish.As part of this effort, we are also developing guidelines and tools for translating open source resources to reach a wider audience.

The rOpenSci community is supported by our Code of Conduct with a clear description of unacceptable behaviors,instructions on how to make a report, and information on how reports are handled. We, the Code of Conduct Committee,are responsible for receiving, investigating, deciding, enforcing and reporting on all reports of potentialviolations of our Code.

This report presents our annual review of the rOpenSci Code of Conduct, reporting process, and internal guidelines for handling reports and enforcement. Updates Changes to the text, including addition of greater detail about acceptable and unacceptable behaviors in online settings. Added a new language, through doing the first translation of the text to Spanish. Changes to the committee.

In today’s community spotlight, we talk to Nami Sunami (he/him). Nami is a maintainer of ResearchEquals and is author of over 110 proposed changes and bug reports to the project! Who is Nami and what motivates him in his work? Let’s find out by asking him a few questions. Why do you contribute to ResearchEquals? In 2019, I was at the University of Delaware as a PhD student in social psychology, looking for ways to make my research more open.

I really enjoy using targets for all of my data analysis projects, especially because it helps me structure all of the projects nicely in the same folder.For targets projects, I often produce several figures using ggplot2.However, there are no formal recommendations for saving ggplot2 objects (as opposed to static images) in a targets workflow.

rOpenSci is very excited to announce our first peer-reviewed statistical Rpackages! One of rOpenSci’s core programs is software peer-review, where we use bestpractices from software engineering and academic peer-review to improvescientific software. Through this, we aim to make scientific software morerobust, usable, and trustworthy, and build a supportive community of practitioners.
