About our meetups
We hold online meetups, over Zoom. These will usually be on the the 4th Wednesday of each month, at 5pm UK time (i.e. 4pm UTC in the summer, 5pm UTC in the winter).
We usually promote meetups a couple of weeks before they take place. The best place to hear about them is on Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn or via our mailing list, which you can opt in to when you join.
These are friendly, informal gatherings, to connect with fellow community members and chat (mostly about R).
Each meetup starts with a round of introductions, followed by any updates from the rainbowR team, e.g. discussing initiatives for the group, community organisation etc. The majority of the meetup is usually spent chatting about R. We invite participants to ‘show and tell’ – they can share something related to R or Quarto. It could be something they’re working on, or a resource/package they’ve found that they’re enjoying using. It’s also a chance to ask R-related questions – there’s probably someone on the call who can help! Of course, you don’t have to show something – there’s no pressure to do so!
We require registration in advance. This helps keep the meetup safe.
