Inviting R community and event organizers from Africa and Asia to the RUG slack. #32

Open DragonflyStats opened 6 years ago

DragonflyStats commented 6 years ago

I propose we make contact with R community and event organizers from Africa and Asia to join the R user group slack.

This is not exactly with the scope of Forwards duties, but it is an easy job, and would yield benefits down in the future.

I agree that these communities are important to connect with. I would be happy to work with you on this.

I think this is in scope!

This would help with encouraging satRdays in places outside US and Europe c.f. #34.

There are other resources that groups should be aware of such as the R User Groups Support Program: https://www.r-consortium.org/projects/r-user-group-support-program.

Maybe this task could extend to working on a starter kit similar to https://github.com/rladies/starter-kit/wiki and promoting that to RUGs in countries where the R community is less established.
