What an inspiring talk! The last slide bring me some tears because it resonates so much with our work and #TheTechWeWant innitiative.

The R Community is what I miss the most since my career took me on a different path. We are deeply thinking about our communities at the OKFN so I've learned a lot!

Not an open challenge, but in our visualization course we had the “ugliest chart” contest.
The students really enjoyed it 🤭😁. Here some contest’s plots:

I love watching short #rstats screencasts so have been making tips and tricks videos and sharing them on YouTube recently. Many of my videos showcase my favourite R packages. I am talking about data viz today so the package of the day today is ggeasy.

6/ Communities aren’t just numbers, they’re connections 🤝

They grow through shared stories, mutual support & creating spaces where people feel safe, welcome, and empowered to take responsibility.

We can only build these communities with diversity, equity, inclusión and accesibility at the center.

There’s great concern about the sustainability of open source software — and who will maintain it when the founders step back.

I believe part of the answer lies in how we enable people to become active and Successful participants in these movements.

We talked about different ways people participate:

🔹 Convey / Consume

🔹 Contribute

🔹 Collaborate

🔹 Co-create

Another framework. This one by @thecscce.bsky.social

And why moving toward collaboration & co-creation builds stronger, lasting communities.

I love frameworks to reflect on procress and I shared the “Pathway to Inclusion”, 6 steps from “never heard of this” to “this is my thing”:

1️⃣ Awareness

2️⃣ Understanding

3️⃣ Identification

4️⃣ Access

5️⃣ Belonging

6️⃣ Ownership

Grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to another @nature.com article. This one, about spreadsheets. While there is often distrust surrounding them, they are still a ubiquitous tool that, if used properly and for the right reasons, can be effective.

Final day of #useR2025 started with an incredible keynote by Frauke Kreuter followed by a rich Q&A, more awesome talks before and after lunch, and we're soon going to be wrapping the whole thing up with what I'm sure will be yet another must-see keynote, by Will Landau.

Last but very definitely not least in the #useR2025 ⚡️talks: @vincentab.bsky.social showing us the power of {tinytable}!

IMHO: {gt} is king for fancy reproducible html tables, but {tinytable} should be the go-to for quick formatting and other file formats.
