Recently the CRAN team lead by Kurt Hornik has made available some more information about the process of CRAN. The information is gathered now at posteriority via analyzing emails they have archived. Previously I was given access to some data (what I call actions) but there is more that was made public. This fell right within the project I had embarked to create a package to retrieve and ease…
Recently I was pointed to Volunteer Responsibility Amnesty Day and given my situation and recent behavior I decided to re-evaluate my participation in at least one project: Bioconductor: Responsibilities : CAB member: Enabling productive and respectful participation, empowering developers at all levels of experience. What I’ll keep : answering developers’ requests/questions by email. Next steps :…
For the last 2 years I served as part of the Code of Conduct (CoC) committee of Bioconductor. I partially served to learn how these committees worked, as it was unclear from outside what they did. The following is a blog post with my observations and opinions on the Code of Conduct committee (CoCC) I saw. This content has been reviewed by the current serving committee. Volunteering I volunteered…
In the blog post of CRAN files, I initially explored the database (mostly around CRAN_package_db() ). On the second post I moved to analyze the archive around CRAN_archive_db() . Recently at useR!2024, Kurt Hornik offered to export data from CRAN. After an email several new functions were exported and introduced to base R. In that presentation and in a previous exchange with Kurt, he explained his…
Sunday I was a bit down before going to Salzburg, as I was considering if spending my monthly salary in a week for useR!2 024 was worth it. While I was looking to some talks and content I was mainly interested in meeting people. I cherished soon, as I met with Emilio López Cano on my flight to Salzburg 1 . Once on the flight, we met with more people going to the conference from Appsilon, a sponsor…
After the previous post collecting information about repositories I want to collect here my thoughts on adding a package in a repository and how repositories are recognized. As in the previous post this is built on the assumption that one already has a package or more and wants to distribute it. This is meant as a reflection of what is an R repository and not intended for R package developers.…
I write this post after several weeks/months of consideration of why I am feeling a burden when I contribute to the FOSS community, mostly the R community. I want to make public some rules I set for myself for future references and in case it helps others. How I end up here I use R for my work and I realized I could use it for my interests. With the creativity of a computer language that I know…
This presentation was in Spanish. I shared the history of my involvement with rtweet and what is happening with the package and Twitter API.
This is a brief announcement of rtweet version 2.0.0. This major version changes signals the move from the API v1.1 to the API v2. There haven’t been many changes since 1.2.1 but this is to signal that the API v1.1 is deprecated. The previous release was a bit of a rush to meet with the requirements of CRAN maintainers to fix an error and it wasn’t polished. Some users complained that it was…
