We are announcing today the R Consortium activities at this year's Open Source Summit North America, being held August 29th - 31st, 2018 in Vancouver, BC. This year we have two activities at the event:

• R-Ladies is a community sponsor, and will be giving a BOF talk entitled 'Inclusion, Diversity, and Community: the R-Ladies initiative', with Gabriela de Queiroz and Augustina Ragwitz showcasing the work they are doing. R-Ladies will also have a table in the expo hall where you can meet and learn how to get an R-Ladies chapter going locally.
• John Mertic will be presenting on 'Sustainable Community Investment in Action - A Look at Some of the R Consortium Funded Grant Projects and Working Groups', giving insight on how the R Consortium Funded Projects program and Working Groups are bringing together the R community and ensuring it's sustainability.

We encourage all of you to attend the event this August. You can use registration code OSSNA18COM15 to save 15% on your registration costs.
