E95 - Jonathon Love - A Free & Open Statistical Spreadsheet for the Masses

Sharing is caring.


That’s a line you usually hear when you’re a child - probably to
share your new toys or maybe even give your parents a bite of
your breakfast.


You likely don’t hear it as much as an adult unless it’s coming
out of your own mouth.


But you do still share, don’t you?


Do you share your knowledge and findings and analyses?
Meet Jonathon Love

Jonathon’s Role as an Software Leader at jamovi


Jonathon Love is the Co-founder of jamovi. The jamovi project was
founded to develop a free and open statistical platform that is
intuitive to use and provides the latest developments in
statistical methodology. Community-driven scientific software is
at the core of the jamovi philosophy, where anyone can develop
and publish analyses and make them available to a wide audience.


jamovi aims to be a neutral platform, taking no position with
respect to competing statistical philosophies. The project was
not founded to promote a particular statistical ideology, instead
wanting to serve as a safe space where different statistical
approaches may be published side-by-side and still consider
themselves first-rate members of the jamovi community.
Jonathon’s Other Work in Software Development

Besides his work with jamovi, Jonathon is currently a Software
Developer and Researcher at the University of Newcastle. He
completed his studies with Andrew Heathcote at the University
Newcastle, Australia, and has over 15 years experience in
software development. Jonathon's interests are promoting the use
of liberated (free and open source) software in science, and
developing software which bridges the gap between methodologists
and applied researchers. He was the original designer and
developer of JASP.
