@minisciencegirl or @BillMills can one of you apply appropriate labels? I think it's event + intermediate. I took the liberty of just opening this issue; feel free to correct me if I overlooked some convention.

bkatiemills commented 8 years ago

Thanks, @jennybc! Feel free to re-edit anything in the top post you like, of course.

minisciencegirl commented 8 years ago

Thanks @BillMills and @jennybc! The issue looks great!

bkatiemills commented 8 years ago

@vjd it's speaker's choice - they'll post details here if they choose to webcast!

How can I join?Hangout link or on air?

jennybc commented 8 years ago

Is anyone who's planning to attend willing to be the person to manage some sort of hangout? To connect with @vjd and @drashti4, for example? I'd like to not be on the hook for managing that connection, but I don't mind if a few others join us remotely.

ghost commented 8 years ago

This is intermediate level session but I don't have much idea about R.Can I join?

jennybc commented 8 years ago

@drashti4 It might not make a lot of sense if you have very little knowledge of R. The "intermediate" label is genuine.

ghost commented 8 years ago

Okay then I am out for this session.Thank you for humble response :)
