BIG THINGS HAPPENING

  • This week’s Code Club will be our first installment of a 3-hour time window for coding. You can think of this as a monthly hackathon now instead of our weekly sessions. We will work on (1) reviewing the outstanding Pull Requests to dev, (2) writing a log statement for the newest version that is about to be released, and (3) updating the cheat sheet given the changes to the R interface. Breakout rooms will allow you to work on things in a quiet space or in small groups if desired.
  • With the shortened week because of the holiday, I am not certain we will be able to get a release out but we will at least work towards that goal.
  • Now that the ICES Methods Group Working Group is over, we will resume forward progress on the Surplus Production Model, which will be our second release from now.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Happy 🦃Thanksgiving Day🦃 to you and your friends and family this holiday season.
  • The FIMS CIE Review has been rescheduled to April 21–23, 2026.

A few months ago, Posit introduced Databot to help explore your data. This is not really of direct interest to FIMS but I think the concept is. Our figures and tables should with a FIMS data object should be relatively similar where we build a command such as summarize() to give similar summaries.

Collaborate and automate with Databot.
