Welcome to the UBC R Study Group! We are a group of R/Python/Julia/(insert your favourite language) enthusiasts who love data. We are an inclusive group and welcome everyone. Check out our event listings on our website, or join the conversation on our message board. Our regular Wednesday sessions are totally open; no sign-up, registration, or fee is required to attend.

Because of the ongoing situation with Covid-19 and the restrictions put in place, we will be holding all of our sessions for Winter 2021 virtually! Please check the relevant issue for each session to find the Zoom information. You will need a Zoom account in order to join our meetings (available for free). Click here to go to the issues page to find the appropriate entry.

Regular meetings of the UBC R Study Group are held every Wednesday, from 1-2pm. Please see below for more detailed information for 2021 meet-ups.

Here's our tentative schedule for the semester. This might not be the most up-to-date; for that, please check the issues.

We are always looking for people to lead our sessions! Drop us a line at [email protected] or come to one of our sessions to connect if you are interested in teaching one of the lessons, or if you'd like to help organize the study group.

These sessions are meant as an opportunity for you to come and ask questions or get help with a programming problem. Bring your code or data, get advice or tips, and chat with your fellow peers. Just like our other sessions, these are totally open, no registration needed.

We have an open issue which you can use to post quick questions; one of the organizers should be able to respond in a timely manner.

Welcome to our Mozilla Study Group! A few things to do & know now that you're here:

• Watch this repo: up in the top right, there's a button that says 'Watch'; click it, and set yourself to 'Watching'. This will send you email notifications of new discussions; if you don't want email, but would like an alert just on GitHub, change the setting in Settings -> Notification Center (Settings is the little cog in the top right).
• Check out the issue tracker: click on 'issues' in the top bar; this is where all the conversations this study groups is having live. Use this space to ask questions, request events, make suggestions, or just say hi!
• Read the code of conduct: this Study Group is for everyone - we abide by a set of rules that require everyone be treated with respect. Help us make a space where everyone feels welcome, and we'll all have a better time!
• Add yourself to the website: If you'd like to appear on the website under the 'Who we Are' section, have a look at the _data/members.yml; send us a pull request with an entry for yourself, or open an issue and we'll do it for you. Basically, we need the following information:

- name: your human name
  affiliation: school, lab, department, business....
  github: your GitHub handle
  interests:
    - list one to three
    - different interests
