[ONLINE] R-Ladies 💙 Quarto

About This Meetup Event:
In this meetup, Mine and Julie will introduce you to Quarto -- an open-source scientific and technical publishing system that unifies and extends the R Markdown ecosystem. Through discussion and live demos, they will share how they use Quarto for authoring, teaching, and collaborating. In addition, they will also give us a glimpse into their own collaboration process for creating their Hello Quarto talk for rstudio::conf(2022). (You can find that talk at https://youtu.be/p7Hxu4coDl8).

*This R-Ladies RTP event is a joint event with R-Ladies Santa Barbara (https://www.meetup.com/rladies-santa-barbara/).*

R-Ladies RTP Mission & Expected Conduct:
All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcome to attend as guests and must be accompanied by the R-Lady who invited them. 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.
