Git and GitHub are key tools for sharing your work reproducibility and the greater good 🌱 However they are often seen as too 'hardcore' or developer-focussed to be used by researchers and data analysts. That's a misconception! Great vid to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dd7KRpKeaE

I've been using Quarto for over a year now and I fully endorse it for technical writing, a game changer that can help get your work out there 🚀 If you're new to this space and want to get involved I highly recommend this as a starting point: https://youtu.be/_f3latmOhew?si=VxcMut5INSgK4pyP #DataScience

🔥 Thrilled to receive the MSCA Fellowship for my project, PRISM🔥

Over the next two years, I'll be based at the University of Münster, collaborating with Hanna Meyer to incorporate understanding of spatial patterns into machine learning algorithms.

Looking forward to this experience (starting in August).

Before @geopandas 1.0 is released, let's take a moment to revisit some of the common patterns that may not provide the best performance anymore. Starting a 🧵 with a few tips from our workshop from last year (all available as a notebook at https://github.com/martinfleis/efficient-geopandas-workshop/blob/main/GeoPython2023.ipynb).

Let's start with the creation of point geometry from coordinates. This is a common operation, but it's not always done in the most efficient way.👇

Request for testing/comment: can any #rstats users out there give the #wip {styler.equals} package a spin and kick its metaphorical tires 🚲 ? Install with remotes::install_github("robinlovelace/styler.equals") and see more at https://github.com/Robinlovelace/styler.equals Especially for those who prefer typing = over <- due to laziness or any other reason! Not intending to start a flame war 🔥 arrows are great too ⬅️ Any comments/suggestions welcome 🙏 #rspatial #DataScience #style

So many rewarding things about building in the open. One of the biggest is the sense of "Wow I did it" you feel when new contributors get involved. I remember the first time I contributed to an open source project and it felt amazing, built by the community, for the community.

Request for help from anyone with #rstats package development experience or knowledge of time data, especially if you've worked with .ical files before: checks failing in the {calendar} package preventing updated on CRAN and I'm not sure why 🤷 . Thanks to new contributors for reviving this package after ~5 years dev hiatus! Please spread the word @rOpenSci and anyone in this #foss for #DataScience (or at least dates) space! Details: https://github.com/ATFutures/calendar/issues/50

Excited to announce the release of {stplanr} v1.2.0, on CRAN and beyond 🎉
Key feature: new implementation of rnet_join(), allowing fast+flexible merging of route network datasets, leveraging {rsgeo} which has a fast (~1000x faster than {lwgeom}) #RustLang backend 🔥
