<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">Hi All</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> a vigorous research community continues to
grow and engage, around the R data environment.</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">Today there is a link to a well-written
article about "Open Source Project Governance" which may</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">be of general interest. [0]</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> Secondly, specific to R and geospatial
data.. the "rocker" project has a Docker setup for the sf</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">module, which is very active and increasingly
popular. Why? Its easy to startup, based on open standards,</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">and still very fresh. What is not to like?

<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> As OSGeoLive gets started on the next
development cycle, we would like to reach out to the R community,</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">and especially rOpenSci, to collaborate where
possible.</p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> best regards from Berkeley, California</p>
