We are pleased to announce the opening of a new call for applications for the rOpenSci Champions Program in Spanish , which will begin in 2026.

rOpenSci’s activities and spaces are supported by a Code of Conductthat applies to all people participating in the rOpenSci community,including rOpenSci staff and leadership.It applies to all modes of interaction including GitHub project repositories,the rOpenSci discussion forum, Slack, Community Calls, Co-working and social sessions, training and mentoring sessions,and in person at rOpenSci-hosted events, including affiliated social

🔗Maintaining Community Trust and Safety The rOpenSci community is supported by our Code of Conductwith a clear description of unacceptable behaviors,instructions on how to make a report,and information on how reports are handled.

We refactored the R-universe CI workflows to make it possible to run the exact same workflow from your own GitHub repository. This allows you to test or debug the build and check process on your R package, exactly as it will happen on R-universe, but without actually deploying to https://r-universe.dev.
