R Consortium Launches 7 Community Projects
The R Consortium, an open source foundation to support the R user community and a Linux Foundation project, today is announcing funding for seven community projects and the formation of two technical working groups. These milestones advance the R Consortium’s mission to support the R community through the identification, development and implementation of infrastructure projects that drive standards and best practices for R code. The R programming language provides an unparalleled interactive environment for data analysis, modeling, and visualization. R is a top-20 programming language (see: TIOBE Ranking Index), and its popularity is expected to grow with data demand.

Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Health Domain Working Group
An ad hoc Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) (http://www.opengeospatial.org) Health Domain Working Group meeting will be held May 31st 2013, from noon until 2:00 p.m. EST. The meeting is being held as a webinar, free and open to all who are interested. Register here. The purpose of the meeting is to review a draft charter for an OGC Health Domain Working Group.
This proposed working group would support collaboration, exchange of best practices, and assimilation of requirements for new open encodings, interfaces, best practices and extensions to spatial standards serving needs in the health care marketplace. Those of us who drafted the charter seek an open spatial standards framework for health mapping, spatial analysis, and hospital planning and operation. See more this recent OGC Blog post. Read More »
