What we’re about
The mission of R-Ladies groups is to increase representation of women and non-binary members of the global R community through establishing local communities providing mentorship, collaborative learning and support.
Anyone with an interest in R is encouraged to participate. It doesn't matter if you never used R or if you are an R expert.

All events are intended for women and non-binary folks as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests.
Community Policies & Code of Conduct:
The leadership and mentoring roles within this Community are held exclusively by women - however learning participation is open to all genders. The stated priority of this meetup is the development and support of its female members, and we therefore reserve the right to guard this interest through whatever measures we deem appropriate. All members and event attendees are expected to fully respect each other and the mandate of this meetup, or face expulsion of any form, whether from events, meetup membership, or any other Community participation.
