Miscellany


A loosely-organized jumble of links and information.  

Slides from talks


» Some modest advice about open-source software development: Slides prepared for a 2017 workshop organized by WHOI’s Ocean Informatics initiative. Includes some advice on development of R packages for submission to Bioconductor, based on lessons learned from development of the LOBSTAHS package. Final few slides contain links to some Internet resources that cover package documentation and best practices for open-source software development. I’ve also posted slides from a newer version of this talk, which contain results of a brief survey on open-source development practices among postdocs & grad students at UW’s eScience Institute.
