The meeting took place, as I reported here: https://twitter.com/edzerpebesma/status/960376392247476227 My agenda is pretty much on-line, and otherwise found in my two R talks of last week(s): https://github.com/edzer/rstudio_conf ; the talk at Bren School @ UCSB gives more details (and some results) for stars. The Bren talk was recorded, and I put it here: http://pebesma.staff.ifgi.de/Spatial-data-in-R--Pebesma--2018-02-07.m4v The RStudio::conf talk was recorded too, and should become available in a few weeks. Whenever there's something substantial to tell about stars, I'll report back here (and/or on twitter), anything about raster you'll have to ask Robert.
