Together with Kate Mullen and Achim Zeileis I am on the board of the Foundation for Open Access Statistics (FOAS), a nonprofit public benefit corporation registered in California. We have applied for federal tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue Section 501(c)(3). FOAS has a worldwide mission to promote free software, open access publishing, and reproducible research in statistics. Currently financial donations are used exclusively to support the Journal of Statistical Software (JSS). FOAS, however, also has a number of affiliated projects that we promote and may support in the future. Our current affiliated projects are useR! 2014, OpenIntro, Journal of Environmental Statistics, Spatial Demography, Project Mosaic, RKWard, knitr, RStudio, Shiny, and R-bloggers. See www.foastat.org for more information. Donate, become a member, become an affiliated project, join the mailing list or Facebook group.
