Monday, February 23, 2026 From rOpenSci (https://ropensci.org/blog/2026/02/23/forum-closing/). Except where otherwise noted, content on this site is licensed under the CC-BY license.
As of this week, we are closing our forum at discuss.ropensci.org.
The forum has become largely inactive in recent years, so we are consolidating our conversations to our other online spaces to reduce maintenance and moderation burden.
We’re not putting our community building aside or behind a wall! We remain committed to our values and to maintaining an open community. We’ve migrated the most active part of the forum, the use cases collection, to our website, and we will continue to collect them via GitHub discussions. Don’t forget that there are still many other ways to be part of the rOpenSci Community:
We look forward to a continuing collaboration with our evergrowing community.
