Our forum is closed but our community is not!
Creators & Contributors
As of this week, we are closing our forum at discuss.ropensci.org.The forum has become largely inactive in recent years, so we are consolidating our conversations to our other online spaces to reduce maintenance and moderation burden.
We're not putting our community building aside or behind a wall! We remain committed to our values and to maintaining an open community.We've migrated the most active part of the forum, the use cases collection, to our website, and we will continue to collect them via GitHub discussions.Don't forget that there are still many other ways to be part of the rOpenSci Community:
- Your contributions to our R packages, infrastructure, projects such as the Champions Program and software-review, are always welcome!
- You can meet with us at events including coworking and community calls.
- You can also reach us at info@ropensci.org and to hear from us, subscribe to our RSS feed or our newsletter!
- Check out our contributing guide for more ideas!
We look forward to a continuing collaboration with our evergrowing community.
