Welcome to R-Ladies Seattle!

We'd love to hear from you about which topics and speakers you'd like to see at upcoming R-Ladies Seattle meetups. Keep reading to see how you can share your thoughts with us.

R-Ladies Seattle is a local chapter of R-Ladies Global, R-Ladies Seattle exists to promote diversity in the R community, both in the US and worldwide. We hold meetups every month to share knowledge that is relevant to our community and consistent with our vision and mission.

Meetups are a place for members to expand their R knowledge, get experience with public speaking, and connect with other R-Ladies Seattle members. They are typically 1 to 2 hours long and can take the form of talks (20 - 30 min each), shorter "lightning" talks, workshops, tutorials, and social events.

How can you contribute to meetups?

The template for suggesting a topic

• Topic
• Who is the audience? (Who might want to know this? What other groups or organizations might be interested?)
• Why is this important?
• What should be covered?
• Suggested speakers or contributors (consider people other than “the usual suspects”; being named here does not obligate them to participate in any way)
• Resources you would recommend to the audience

We will label issues with 0/idea, 1/approved, 2/working on it, 3/completed.
