For the second time, I teach "Introduction to Open Data" at HES-SO / Haute école de gestion de Genève this semester. Since it covers both Open Research Data and Open Government Data, it made sense to... make the course materials open.

I've rebuilt the site using #Quarto: julsraemy.ch/intro-open-data

It's a 16-hour course for Information Science undergrads. Yes, that's also a bachelor's degree in some countries in Europe! 😉

When mentioning the R programming language in a quarto document do you use some specific font/formatting?

I'd appreciate knowing what you do. Thanks.

Entre las cosas que he hecho en #Quarto, está la página del grupo de investigación al cual estoy vinculado #GEOBOTAUdeA.

Hace poco se publicó un artículo sobre #Heliconia y he escrito un post hablando de ello.

En las próximas semanas espero escribir más cosas, hay varios artículos publicados recientemente y tengo otras varias ideas.

¡Novedades en mi Quartoverse personal! 🎉
Después de mucho pensarlo (y procrastinarlo 😅), finalmente he creado una plantilla de #Quarto para las presentaciones de trabajos de grado de la Universidad de Antioquia #UdeA.

Just wrote a new blogpost on the progress we've made with our open-source flow battery, check it out and let us know what you think! (ideally in our forum so that we can kickstart our community 😁 )

Como experimento, veamos si en el blog puedo hacer interaccionar los comentarios con lo de este toot.

He actualizado una entrada del blog explicando detalladamente cómo he creado un blog con #Quarto en #Codeberg, todo en local, software libre y servicios no corporativos.

En un rato aparecerán los comentarios y, si funciona, añadiré una explicación de cómo lo he implementado en el blog.

Help with #Git

I have a web project folder with #quarto with the following structure:

mypage/
index.qmd
_site/
index.html

I would be interested in just keeping track of the contents of the _site folder but it autogenerates every time I make changes and re-renders the site again.

The problem is that by adding the _site folder to git, the folder goes in the push and I want only push the files in the folder to the repository root.

Is it possible to do it only using git?

Ayuda con #Git

Tengo una carpeta de proyecto de una web con #quarto con la siguiente estructura:

mypage/
index.qmd
_site/
index.html

Me interesaría sólo hacer seguimiento del contenido de la carpeta _site pero ésta se autogenera cada vez que hago cambios y reenderizo de nuevo.

El problema es que añadiendo a git la carpeta _site, en el push va la carpeta y sólo me interesa que los archivos de la carpeta vayan a la raíz del repositorio.

¿Es posible solucionarlo sólo con git?

Data Science

If you use Quarto to make presentations for a professional setting, it is important to choose the right theme, e.g. github.com/EmilHvitfeldt/quart #rstats #quarto #design #theme @Emil_Hvitfeldt

We are thrilled to announce that Quarto 1.6 is out! 🎉

We are particularly excited about:

• Support for brand.yml
• RevealJS updates
• A new contents shortcode
• Landscape blocks
• Improvements in how you can specify subpanels of cross-references from code blocks

@gaborcsardi @njtierney in case you or someone else is interested:

For {betareg} and {crch} we integrated the vignettes in #quarto websites.

This can be combined nicely with the pkg documentation via {altdoc} by @etiennebacher & @vincentab

Example: topmodels.R-Forge.R-project.or

I'm running a reserach lab session tomorrow and I am planning to spread the good word of #quarto to the team. Does any have or can anyone recommend a short slide deck that is accessible for folks who mostly use MS office and may be quite new to programming? I've found a lot of great resources but many assume a fairly high level of understanding... any ideas are most welcome!

I hadn't heard of that, it sounds very interesting.

I'm a regular #RMarkdown user, and haven't found the time or motivation to jump to #Quarto. It looks like a combination of removing the rough spots of RMarkdown, but also expanding the features in a way that adds to my mental overhead.

We have a *really* hard time embracing the elegance of a truly minimal system for writing. At this point I'd love to have the absolute minimum set of features beyond basic markdown for academic writing. Maybe #litedown is that?
