## Thoughts and Ideas

* find interested people and set up a core team (probably the most difficult issue)
* make the RSE concept explainable to interested people, e.g. by writing a manifest
* identify crosscutting topics in the RSE and R communities (e.g. Open Science/Data)
* invite R users to RSE events and vice versa
* starting with user stories or "episodes", like here: http://us-rse.org/rse-stories/about/
