<p>After Stefanie’s recap of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://ropensci.org/blog/blog/2018/06/05/unconf18" target="_blank">unconf18</a>, this week the blog will feature brief summaries of projects developed at the event: each day 4 to 5 projects will be highlighted. In the following weeks, a handful of groups will share more thorough posts about their work.</p>
<p>In the spirit of exploration and experimentation at rOpenSci unconferences, these projects are not necessarily finished products or in scope for rOpenSci packages.</p>
<p>Let’s dive into today’s 5 projects in focus!</p>
