[Rd] R for the US Air Force
Hello, The US Air Force used to have R available on our main network, but now those who need to accept it back are being very particular about what they're accepting in terms of official documentation. Would you be able to help me with this endeavor? I'm attaching a pdf that shows what documentation they'd require for us to re-establish R as being acceptable on the network here. I understand if you're too busy or if it's a pain. Haha Thank you so much for your help and consideration!

Hey Doug, R is not a product that is provided by a company or any vendor that can be procured through a vendor e.g. something on a GSA schedule. Seems like you're caught in the bureaucracy hell hole. I used to help the USAF, and other DoD members use R when I was at RStudio (now Posit). I recommend you find someone in your organization who is doing Data Science. They'll likely have charted a path and you can follow in their footsteps. For example https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-couse/. Jeremy Allen has since taken over my role at Posit since I've left. I'm sure he knows a plethora of people in the USAF who are using R and can help you out. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-allen-data/ On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 2:57?PM ADAMS, DOUGLAS L CIV USAF AFMC OO-ALC/OBWA via R-devel <r-devel at r-project.org> wrote:> Hello, > > > > The US Air Force used to have R available on our main network, but now > those who need to accept it back are > being very particular about what they're accepting in terms of official > documentation. > > > > Would you be able to help me with this endeavor?

Years ago, there was a commercialized version of R from Revolution. It was bought by Microsoft, and turned into Microsoft R. Their version of CRAN was called MRAN. It's discontinued I believe, but the last Microsoft R version was already on the 4.0 major version. ________________________________ From: ADAMS, DOUGLAS L CIV USAF AFMC OO-ALC/OBWA via R-devel <r-devel-bounces at r-project.org> on behalf of ADAMS, DOUGLAS L CIV USAF AFMC OO-ALC/OBWA via R-devel <r-devel at r-project.org> Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2024 8:11:30 PM To: R-devel at R-project.org <R-devel at R-project.org> Subject: [Rd] R for the US Air Force Hello, The US Air Force used to have R available on our main network, but now those who need to accept it back are being very particular about what they're accepting in terms of official documentation.
