What we’re about
R-Ladies Sydney welcomes members of all R proficiency levels, whether you're a new or aspiring R user, or an experienced R programmer interested in mentoring, networking & expert upskilling. Our 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!
A local chapter of R-Ladies Global, R-Ladies Sydney 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. Our priority is to provide a safe community space for anyone identifying as a minority gender who is interested in and/or working with R. As a founding principle, there is no cost or charge to participate in any of our R-Ladies communities around the world.
We are part of the Global R-Ladies group- https://www.rladies.org. You can access our presentations, R scripts, and Projects on our Github account and follow us on twitter to stay up to date about R-Ladies news!

PS Community Policies & Code of Conduct:
The leadership, mentoring & teaching roles within this Community are held exclusively by minority genders (majority gender speakers may be allowed/invited as one-off guests in exceptional circumstances at the leadership team's discretion). Due to unexpected demand, we have opened learning participation to all genders, dependent on initial and on-going vetting by the leadership team. However, the stated priority of the R-Ladies communities is the development & support specifically of those identifying as a minority gender, and we, therefore, reserve the right to guard this interest through whatever measures the leadership team deems appropriate. Anyone involved with R-Ladies Sydney is expected to fully respect each other, the mandate of this community, and the goodwill on which R-Ladies is founded, or face expulsion/a penalty of any form, at the discretion of the leadership team.
Full community guidelines are found here: https://github.com/rladies/starter-kit/wiki

Upcoming events (2)
See all- Shiny 101Nous Group - Sydney, Sydney
Join us for a special event hosted by RLadies, featuring a talk by Margaret Colville, one of our dedicated members!
Have you heard about the Shiny package for building websites in R and wondered how to use it? In this talk Margaret will cover the basics of how it works and experiment with a simple example or two.
Whether you’re looking to create interactive dashboards or full-fledged web applications, this session will provide you with the foundational knowledge to get started.
No prior experience with Shiny is required, but a basic understanding of R will be helpful.

Join Us for a Special Event with Julia Silge!
We are thrilled to welcome Julia Silge, a data scientist and engineering manager at Posit PBC (formerly RStudio), where she works on open source modeling and MLOps tools.
She is a tool builder, an author, an international keynote speaker, and a real-world practitioner focusing on data analysis and machine learning. Julia loves text analysis, making beautiful charts, and communicating about technical topics with diverse audiences. You can find her online at her blog and YouTube.Topic:
While data scientists are often taught about training a machine learning model, building an MLOps strategy to deploy and maintain that model can be daunting. In this talk, learn about MLOps concepts like model deployment and model drift, the different ways the word “performance” is used with models, what you can monitor about a model, how feedback loops impact models, and how you can set yourself up for success with model maintenance. This talk will help practitioners who are already deploying models, but this is also useful knowledge for data science practitioners earlier in their MLOps journey; decisions made along the way can make the difference between resilient models that are easier to maintain and disappointing or misleading models.
We look forward to seeing you online
