 ## MongoDB in R and mongolite
 
-I started working on mongolite in September 2014, and it was first announced at the rOpenSci [unconf 2015](https://twitter.com/_inundata/status/581605601882480640/photo/1). At this time, there were already two Mongo clients on CRAN: [rmongodb](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rmongodb/index.html) (no longer works) and [RMongo](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMongo/index.html) (depends on Java). However I found both of them pretty clunky, and the MongoDB folks had just released 1.0 of their new C driver, so I decided to write a new client from scratch.

 Mongolite aims to provide a *simple* R client for MongoDB, based on the excellent [mongo-c-driver](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver) combined with super-powers from the [jsonlite](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/jsonlite/index.html) package. Simple means insert and query data in R using data-frames with a single command:

 JS: I started learning on my own. I’m geographically somewhat isolated because I do not live in really a big tech hub. But I spent about six months taking every single MOOC that exists. In the process of doing this, one of my goals was to develop a portfolio. I pictured myself applying for jobs, and I wanted this portfolio to be something that would demonstrate that yes, I’m worth considering for this job. So that’s when I [started blogging](https://juliasilge.com/). I have been astonished to see that the blog has had a much richer impact on my professional life.
 
-The first iteration was a Jekyll blog. I was trying to figure out how to write in Rmarkdown and I found Dave Robinson’s script that he used to do it. When I published my first blog post, I [mentioned him on twitter](https://twitter.com/juliasilge/status/674286699216703488) like, “hey thanks for doing this!” He retweeted my blog post, and then [Hadley [Wickham]](https://twitter.com/hadleywickham) saw it and Hadley retweeted it. This was my first blog post ever! My phone was exploding with notifications. I was like, _what is going on!? This is amazing!_

-That year I went to [rOpenSci’s unconference](https://unconf16.ropensci.org/); this was in 2016. It was the first time I had met anyone in the R community at all. I remember getting a twitter DM from [Karthik [Ram]](https://twitter.com/_inundata) and he said, _“Hey you don’t know me, but we have this unconference…”_ And I was like, gosh I don’t know these strangers from the internet! But I guess it’s the way to go. That’s what you do now, you go and you meet strangers from the internet.

 When I showed up at unconference the first day, Dave Robinson was also there. We were deciding what issues to work on, and people were putting ideas on post-it notes. Dave turned to me and said, _“Hey, do you want to build a package for text mining?”_ And I said, _“Yes! That sounds amazing! I would love to do that.”_ And so we sat down and started working on it.

 [rOpenSci](https://ropensci.org/) brings software developers and users together to innovate on creating new coding tools and promoting open science. It does this by deliberately creating a friendly, positive environment where folks with different backgrounds and expertise feel welcome and comfortable to learn, share ideas and innovate together. rOpenSci exists primarily online, through its extensive staff- and community-developed and ever-growing ecosystem of [R packages](https://ropensci.org/packages/), [Community Calls](https://ropensci.org/commcalls/), [discussion forum](https://discuss.ropensci.org/), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ropensci,) and Slack. It also catalyzes relationships and strengthens community through in-person "unconf" events, bringing community members physically together to collaborate on specific projects of their choice.

 The [2015 rOpenSci unconf](https://unconf15.ropensci.org/) ("runconf15") was transformative for someone like me, so new to coding. Beforehand, I was pretty scarred by my experience coding, and really thought that software was a static, untouchable, and unalterable thing, sort of like a refrigerator that did Its Purpose and Too Bad if it doesn't work quite right or limits your imagination of could be possible. Honestly, my closest inkling that I could interact with software or software developers was through [Clippy](https://jules32.github.io/useR-2019-keynote/#59).  
 
 But at runconf15, I learned not only that software developers were real people, they were kind people. They were kind people who would take time to talk to a new user/marine ecologist like me, and be interested in my use cases, questions, needs, and learning process. My colleague Jamie and I were able to talk with RStudio's Joe Cheng about our pitfalls and limitations of working with raster map data in R. And then we were blown away as Joe began coding a package to make rasters faster right before our eyes, in dialogue with us as we sat together.

 Having these kind people (note: "kind people" not "kind of people") all together ready to innovate does not happen by accident. It takes deliberate intent and attention to bringing us together and setting the tone in a comfortable space to interact. And this was the vision of rOpenSci. This runconf15 was the first time I heard a [Code of Conduct](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_conduct). And it was the first time I had experienced a large setting without hierarchy, and felt like I belonged and could contribute in a way that was welcomed. 
 
 I've been thinking back to rOpenSci's runconf15 event five years ago. My interests, time investment, and [career focus on kinder science](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/open-software-means-kinder-science/) was definitely catalyzed by runconf15, and then reinforced by other's efforts from this very same event. Those  runconf15 participants who were already #rstats influencers...were they catalyzed as well? [Hilary Parker](https://hilaryparker.com/about-hilary-parker/) and [Roger Peng](http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~rpeng/) said that their [NSSD podcast](http://nssdeviations.com/) idea came out of rOpenSci's event. How about [Tracy Teal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy_Teal), who became executive director of [The Carpentries](https://carpentries.org/), [Gabriela de Queiroz](https://k-roz.com/) who had created and then turned [RLadies](https://rladies.org/) into a global movement, [Arfon Smith](https://www.arfon.org/), who went on to lead the [Journal of Open Source Software](https://joss.theoj.org/), and [RStudio](https://rstudio.com), who increased their team and customer base by an [order of magnitude](https://rstudio.com/slides/rstudio-pbc/#32) in five years and who launched [rstudio::conf in 2017](https://blog.rstudio.com/2016/06/30/join-us-at-rstudioconf-2017/)? 
 
 rOpenSci made concerted efforts to continue building and nurturing this community after runconf15. This means leveraging the power of the internet, where conversations ignited at runconf15 was continued with enthusiasm and innovation.

 But rOpenSci is all about welcoming more and more people into the rOpenSci and #rstats community, as is evident in part from [runconf16](https://unconf16.ropensci.org/), [runconf17](https://unconf17.ropensci.org/), and [runconf18](https://unconf18.ropensci.org/), and the [28.2K Twitter followers](https://twitter.com/rOpenSci) (as of February 2020). rOpenSci has created a friendly watershed of innovation, with a growing network of diverse people and skillsets contributing in myriad ways, like streams joining a ever-stronger flowing river. 
 
 And what I am trying to do with Openscapes is to connect additional tributaries to this rOpenSci watershed. I think that the most important thing I do here with Openscapes is to pass forward what I've learned from rOpenSci leadership and community, and welcome additional scientists to join. When we talk about the awesomeness of R communities in our mentor sessions, it's not only to encourage them to become a part of them, but also to extend its ethos and kick-start [kinder science](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/open-software-means-kinder-science/) around them.
