We would like to apply, as the 'R-Spatial' community, to become an OSGeo affiliated organisation.

We are a diverse group with a shared interest in developing free and open tools for the reproducible analysis of geographic data. R is a popular and rapidly growing language for statistical computing and 'data science'. It is already part of the OSGeo ecosystem: R ships with the OSGeo Live distribution, integrates with established OSGeo projects such as [GRASS GIS](https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics), and (now slightly dated) tutorials listed on OSGeo's [old website](http://old.www.osgeo.org/educational_content). We would like to update and create new OSGeo-affiliated tutorials for using R-Spatial software.

After a discussion on our GitHub Organisation at [github.com/r-spatial](https://github.com/r-spatial), it is clear that closer links could be mutually beneficial. Collaboration is at the heart of open source software and the R community has a long history. The history of R-GRASS GIS bridges, for example, covers more than [20 years](https://doi.org/10.1016/S0098-3004(00)00057-1) and goes in both directions. R interfaces enable a wide range of people to access OSGeo-supported software from a reproducible command-line interface.
