RThe R Consortium has been founded and recently launched under an Open Source Governance and Foundation model. This is in response to the growing use of R and its communities.

The initial members of the R Consortium include:

  • Microsoft
  • R Studio
  • TIBC Analytics
  • Alteryx
  • Google
  • HP
  • Ketchum Trading LLC
  • Mango Solutions
  • Oracle

The mission statement is listed as:

The central mission of the R Consortium is to work with and provide support to the R Foundation and to the key organizations developing, maintaining, distributing and using R software through the identification, development and implementation of infrastructure projects.

They have also listed a potential number of projects they will be involved with:

  • strengthening the R Forge infrastructure;
  • assisting the Stanford University group running user!R 2016;
  • developing documentation; and
  • encouraging increased communication and collaboration among users and developers of the R language.

One to watch going forward for influencing the R Community.

LiDAR Maps – Open Commercial Use

mapThe UK Environment Agency have been providing free access to their mapping tools for non-commercial means for some time now. This is their LIDAR (Light Detection & Ranging) data. However the non-commercial bit is about to change with the addition of commercial use also becoming free to use in the near future.

The release of data will be through the OGL (Open Government Licence) which itself will see an update in September 2015

The main driver behind this change is to assist with risk modelling and to open up innovation around the environment.

We hope that by removing any cost barriers, our data will improve the quality of flood risk modelling used by businesses and local communities and allow for the development of innovative tools and techniques to further benefit the environment.

If you have been using The Chronodex (I blogged about this back in January) you will soon be coming to the end of the 6 months in the tool. Patrick Ng has now released the next part for the second half of the year.

Download available from here

The format of the Chronodex is meant for the Midori Traveller Notebook style of (http://www.midori-japan.co.jp/tr/english/) but you don’t need one of these to use it.

Chronodex

Upon first glance it looks a bit quirky and hard to use, but once you get used to the format of the Chronodex it does become an interesting tool to use. A bit different from a normal day to a page diary with times down the side.

Using shading, colours or other types of marking you can block out parts of the Chronodex for tasks/appointments and add keys or words alongside the areas filled out.

openOriginally published in 2012 the “Open Data Handbook” has been revamped to inspire Open Data Newcomers.

The new version of the online site allows access to:

  • The Open Data Book
  • Value Stories
  • Resource Library

For those who have not yet been introduced to the Open Data Handbook, the below is a good overview of what its about.

This handbook discusses the legal, social and technical aspects of open data. It can be used by anyone but is especially designed for those seeking to open up data. It discusses the why, what and how of open data – why to go open, what open is, and the how to ‘open’ data.

There are already a lot of “Open” sources of such as Open Source Web Crawlers and Data Sets, which is set to grow in the wake of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other data creation solutions.

The Handbook/Guide provides a good place to start if you are considering making your data Open, however the data created will also be a huge revenue generator for companies who produce the IoT devices.  The amount of data that will made Open remains to be seen more things come online

GrowPuppet Labs are running their DevOps Survey again this year.

The survey takes around 15 minutes to complete.

It will be interesting to see how DevOps has changed over the past 12 months from the 2014 report which found that:

High-performing organizations are still deploying code 30 times more frequently, with 50 percent fewer failures than their lower-performing counterparts.

– DevOps report 2014
