(This article was first published on <strong><a href="http://www.arilamstein.com/blog/2016/06/21/new-facebook-group-r-maps-open-data/"> R – AriLamstein.com</a></strong>, and kindly contributed to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers)</a> </div>
<p>Today I am happy to announce a new Facebook group: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2dyb3Vwcy8xNzI5NDY4NjUwNjMwMDM4Lw%3D%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=2775">R, Maps and Open Data</a>. If you like this blog, then you should join this group! It’s free to join.</p>
<p>This is my first time creating a Facebook group, and I am viewing it as both an experiment and an outgrowth of this blog. Here are some things I hope to achieve with the group:</p>
<ol>
<li>Have other people share information</li>
<li>Have a discussion</li>
<li>Publish more frequently</li>
<li>Have other people discuss projects that they’re working on (ask for help, share interesting results, etc.).</li>
</ol>
<p>If this sounds interesting, then <a target="_blank" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2dyb3Vwcy8xNzI5NDY4NjUwNjMwMDM4Lw%3D%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=2775">join</a> now!</p>
<p>It’s hard to believe that I started this blog only one year ago. At the time, I didn’t know anyone else who was interested in this niche. Now I realize that there are countless people doing fascinating work at the intersection of these fields. Also, the field is sufficiently interesting, and complex, to warrant a discussion group of its own.</p>
<p>A group is only as strong as its members. I hope that you decide to join and contribute! Click <a target="_blank" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2dyb3Vwcy8xNzI5NDY4NjUwNjMwMDM4Lw%3D%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=2775">here</a> to join the <em>R, Maps and Open Data</em> group on Facebook!</p>
