It would be a pity to not to use the opportunity of being the RoCur to shamelessly promote some #RStats packages 📦 that I have developed 😆
They're all useful for me. Perhaps they'll be useful for you too.
I'd love to hear about packages you've developed - please share in the replies.

I can't talk about contributing to base R without mentioning my favourite R-thing I've ever done, adding the `penguins` dataset to R >4.5.0 🐧
After a journey from Antartica to PLOS ONE to the {palmerpenguins} package, what a joy to help the penguins march into R, immediately available to everyone!

When tracking down bugs in base R code, you may well find yourself coming across some C.
Don't know any C?
No worries! I've got you covered with "C for R Users". The recording from R-Ladies Philly covers a live demo using the R Dev Container.

After a bit of a technical interruption yesterday, I'm now back with more contributing to base R content.
In this thread I want to highlight improvements to R that have been made by R contributors, often the result of work at R Dev Days.
It shows what's possible for us to do!

Recruiters often say many candidates don’t even read the full job description before applying, and that it’s hard to filter them out.
But it goes both ways. I’ve received plenty of recruiter emails and messages where they clearly hadn’t read my profile or qualifications before spamming me.

This is a great way to contribute to the #rstats and #TidyTuesday communities!
I only need *5* more dataset curations (and to review those 5 plus the open PR) to be done curating #TidyTuesday for 2025! I can definitely do at least one myself, so I just need 4 of you to curate a dataset! Check out github.com/rfordatascie... for #RStats instructions.
