Multilingual

Tell me who you hang out with and I’ll tell you who you are: a collaborative analysis using social network analysis.

Communities of practice are spaces where people share knowledge and contribute to individual and group objectives. Knowing the different types of community members, the different ways they can participate, what kind of collaborations exist, and among whom is an important input to understand the community and to be able to take actions to improve differents aspecto of the community, like members' engagement, reach a wider audience, and increase diversity, among other. In this talk, we will present an analysis of rOpenSci networks since its inception to recognize types and themes of collaborations, actors in those collaborations, and sub-communities, among other aspects. We will explain how we collect the information to feed the networks (e.g. blog post authoring, event organization, package authoring, package review, among others), how we process it, and what kind of community management actions we can take based on the results obtained. All the source code and the data that can be public will be shared on a repository.

Multilingual Publishing

Presentation of the tools and work we are doing at rOpenSci to make multilingual publications.

Multilingual Publishing

The Multilingual Publishing project is an initiative by rOpenSci to expand the accessibility and reach of scientific knowledge by translating essential materials on best practices for software development, code review, and contribution to open source projects into Spanish. This effort aims to lower language barriers and make valuable resources available to a broader audience, thus fostering a more inclusive scientific community.

Expanding our Community through Multilingual Publishing

We are excited to announce that, with the support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, NumFOCUS, and the R Consortium, we have begun the process of translating rOpenSci’s materials on best practices for software development, code review, and contribution to open source projects into Spanish. As part of this effort, we are also developing guidelines and tools for translating open source resources to reach a wider audience. According to a recent report from The Linux Foundation, language access is one of the environmental barriers to equity in open source.

Agrandando nuestra comunidad con publicaciones multi-idioma

Nos agrada anunciar que, con el aporte de Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, NumFOCUS y R Consortium, estamos comenzando el proceso de traducir los materiales de rOpenSci sobre buenas prácticas de desarrollo de software, revisión de código y contribución a proyectos de código abierto al español. Como parte de este esfuerzo, también estamos desarrollando guías y herramientas para traducir recursos de código abierto y alcanzar una mayor audiencia. De acuerdo a un reporte reciente de The Linux Foundation, el acceso de lenguaje es una de las barreras a la equidad en el código abierto.
