Just last week we organised the 2nd rOpenSci ozunconference, the sibling rOpenSci unconference, held in Australia. Last year it was held in Brisbane, this time around, the ozunconf was hosted in Melbourne, from October 27-27, 2017. We brought together 45 R-software users and developers, scientists, and open data enthusiasts from academia, industry, government, and non-profits.
