What we’re about
Mission
R-Ladies is a worldwide organization that promotes gender diversity in the open-source R community.
Who we are/What we do
R-Ladies Aurora is a local chapter of R-Ladies Global (https://www.rladies.org). We meet to discuss, learn, teach, present, and work on all things R! Our priority is to provide a safe community space for anyone identifying as a minority gender interested in and working with R. The group exists to promote gender diversity in the R community worldwide. We are pro-actively inclusive of queer, trans, and all minority identities, with additional sensitivity to intersectional identities. We meet in person or virtually to learn about the R programming language, algorithms, and advanced tools. Our events are open for everyone to attend.
Who could join?
R-Ladies Aurora welcomes members of all R proficiency levels, whether you are a new or aspiring R user or an experienced R programmer interested in mentoring, networking & expert upskilling. Our non-profit, civil society community is designed to develop our members' R skills & knowledge through social, collaborative learning & sharing. Supporting minority identity access to STEM skills & careers, the Free Software Movement, and contributing to the global R community!
Anyone and everyone interested in R/Data Science should join our group and participate/contribute in any way you can, be they learners, teachers, developers, or innovators! We encourage women and minority genders to present/lead most sessions and conversations, but we have no restrictions regarding membership, participation, and discussions. So, please join us and bring your R-family & R-friends!
