Steph Locke notes that the R Consortium has agreed to support satRdays:
I’m very pleased to say that the R Consortium agreed to the support the satRday project!
The idea kicked off in November and I was over the moon with the response from the community, then we garnered support before submitting to the Consortium and I must have looped the moon a few times as we had more than 500 responses. Now the R Consortium are supporting us and we can turn all that enthusiasm into action.
This is great. I’m looking forward to this taking off and being a nice complement to SQL Saturdays in cities.
