ROpenSci turns 15 and I've been a part of this community for a good chunk of that time. As I reflected on those years, a lot of great memories came to mind, and I realized some of them taught me some lessons that I would love to share. 🔗Stretch your comfort zone Early in 2018 I came across this post: In hindsight I was a good fit. I had recently transitioned from academia to my first job as a research software engineer.

ROpenSci cumple 15 años y yo fui parte de esta comunidad durante gran parte de ese tiempo. Al reflexionar sobre esos años, me vinieron a la mente muchos recuerdos lindos, y algunos me dejaron lecciones que quisiera compartir. 🔗Estirá tu zona de confort A principios de 2018 me topé con este anuncio (traducido): En retrospectiva, yo encajaba bien. Recién había pasado de la academia a mi primer trabajo como ingeniero de software de investigación.

The advent of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI tools has changed the nature of software development and of software review.These developments are complex, challenging, and controversial, but require action to maintain and grow rOpenSci's programs and community.In response, we are starting with a preliminary set of policies to clarify our expectations for use of generative AI tools by authors, reviewers, and editors in software

Earth's ecological assemblages are rapidly being driven towards unprecedented, novel states. We know little about ecological novelty in our oceans, limiting our ability to detect, contextualise, and manage substantive anthropogenic change. This is especially true for novel states with altered functional compositions. Here, we provide a quantitative assessment of taxonomic and functional ecological novelty in historical coral communities across the east Australian coast, capturing changes in the composition of coral taxa and their traits over the past 1500 years. Taxonomically novel communities emerged more frequently and often unaccompanied by substantial trait compositional change while functional novelty was commonly observed alongside significant genus turnover. Novel coral communities themselves were rare, context‐dependent, and often associated with transitions in dominant genera. Our preliminary trait‐based community classifications complement classical taxonomic methods to uncover a history of ecological change in east Australian coral communities, helping provide important context for their present states and inform future responses under ongoing and intensifying human‐driven change.

Hace poco Yanina Bellini Saibene nos recordó actualizar el perfil de Slack: Después de hacer eso, decidí actualizar mis fotos de perfil en el sitio web de rOpenSci, y termine aprendiendo algunos trucos de git que voy a compartir acá. Gracias a Maëlle Salmon por motivarme a escribir este artículo y a Steffi LaZerte por revisarlo.

Recently Yanina Bellini Saibene reminded usto update our Slack profile: After doing that I went on to updating my profile photos on the rOpenSciwebsite, which ended up teaching me a few git tricks I would like to share here.Thanks Maëlle Salmon for the encouragement, andSteffi LaZerte for reviewing this post.
