Exploring Spatial Data with sf

What we'll do
Angela Li (of Chicago R-Ladies but is in the area for the summer) and I will introduce R-Ladies RTP to the new sf package for plotting spatial vector data in R and do some hands-on work with open-source spatial datasets.

COME GIVE A LIGHTNING TALK! It only needs to be a few minutes, and it need not be a polished presentation, just something interesting to share. If it's ggplot2 related, all the better, but anything R is fine. Let us know if you'd like to present.

What to bring
This will be most rewarding if you bring your laptop. If you have the sf and tidyverse package installed already, you'll be up and running faster, but we can help with this if needed. For a tutorial on installing sf see: https://github.com/r-spatial/sf.

Important to know
Dinner will NOT be provided but we encourage you to meet us at the Durham Co-Op Market for our pre-meetup at 5pm (see other event listing for July 19).

All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests. This group was created so those who identify as women have a comfortable place to learn. If you would like to attend and feel excluded, please introduce yourself to an organizer.
