@revodavid PS: Great to finally meet you last night.
@revodavid oddly enough NYT's graphics department uses R extensively to generate their pre-polished infographics.

DataONEorg RT @DataUpCDL: DataUp blog post on DataONE: finding data is getting easier dataup.cdlib.org/?p=1012 cc @DataONEorg
nceas What's big deal about @DataONEorg? Will allow scientists to deal with tons of ecological data in one-stop shop 1.usa.gov/NJNpur

Fantastic! MT @DataONEorg: And we're up: DataONE Goes Live: bit.ly/M5LtPN. Join us in a search for data.

A social network whose sole purpose is facilitation knowledge production, invention, and collaboration. 7fff.com/2012/07/14/the… . So true.
forestdim Great new reference book for theoretical ecologists. It's kind of a big deal. amzn.to/Mx7VB7 #Ecology
Quick and dirty markdown blog post.
1. Write a public gist in md

@ethanwhite Indeed. and I am glad we are able to keep the discussion open to get these outdated publishing policies changed.
@ethanwhite Such a shame about their policy.

@KTInvasion Thanks! We totally missed that registration is not required for free workshops. So yes, you can just show up. cc/@rOpenSci
@ESA_org @labroides @carlystrasser @LizNeeley Pro tip: The cool ecologists also put a bird on their ESA tote bags.
Attending #ESA2012 this year? There is still time to register for our R data workshop. esa.ropensci.org cost = $0
@MiriamGoldste @carlystrasser @labroides @LizNeeley @jebyrnes we’re gonna make this happen! /puts a bird on this tweet.
@briandoll @matthewmccull Sure thing, I'll write one up shortly.
@recology_ I <3 tweebot for ios and am glad it is finally available for osx.
Slides from my talk on R and open science from earlier tonight. inundata.org/R_talks/BARUG/ #rstats #openscience Comments and feedback welcome.
@datatelling Bummed I'll miss your talk since I'll be talking simutaneously about open science at another meetup.
The awesome folks are Oak Ridge are using my data to parallelize distributed ggplotting for large data. #rstats cc @hadleywickham
