(This article was first published on R – AriLamstein.com , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) Next Tuesday (August 8) I will be giving a talk at the Bay Area R Users Group (BARUG). The talk is titled Beyond Popularity: Monetizing R Packages . Here is an abstract of the talk: This talk will cover my initial foray into monetizing an open source R package. In 2015, a year after publishing the initial version of choroplethr on CRAN, I made a concerted effort to try and monetize the package. In this workshop you will learn: 1. Why I decided to monetize choroplethr. 2. The monetization strategy I used. 3. Three tactics that can help you monetize your own R package. I first gave this talk at the San Francisco EARL conference in June. The talk was well-received there, and I am looking forward to giving it again! The talk is free to attend, but requires registration. Learn More Here The post Upcoming Talk at the Bay Area R Users Group (BARUG) appeared first on AriLa...
