Thanks to their (volunteer!) work, the more than 2 million R users worldwide
can seamlessly access the CRAN collection of over 10,000 R packages.
Thank you for your invaluable work.

I'd like to make a shout-out to the people who run the
CRAN (central R repository)---
especially Kurt Hornik, Uwe Ligges and Brian Ripley.
They are doing a tremendous service
for the scientific community, enforcing and maintaining the
quality standards for R packages.

You can't earn money with #FreeSoftware. #Copyleft is bad for your business. Do you think this is true? Then you should come to my #CopyleftConf talk "Using strong copyleft to build a sustainable business", organized by @conservancy 2019.copyleftconf.org/schedu… #Nextcloud

BH 1.69.0 release candidate for CRAN
A blog post describing the reverse depends tests done so far, the three regressions and simple fixes. With this the BH subset of Boost 1.69.0 should be ready for CRAN "shortly".

I would not describe my position as preferring copying and sourcing. I was simply stating some clear costs to dependencies. But "it's complicated" and I am not selling silver bullets either.

Good reminder but also don't completely discount mailing lists which are easy enough to setup at places like @groupsio or Google Groups -- and may help to create a more lasting group of supporters than one may get via @StackOverflow or @Github.
Helpful reminder: if you have a question about how to use an open source library, try stackoverflow. Keep github issue trackers for folks who believe they have found a bug or would like to make a feature request.
