R-Ladies Collaborations

R-Ladies around the world often work with organizations, ONGs, and other groups, producing contributions, participation, involvement or associations of talks, workshops, projects, conference, etc. And they directly impact the R community.

Goals

This repository aims to document all of these collaborations. There are three main goals for this repository:

1. This repository aims to capture these R-Ladies collaborations in a single portfolio.
2. R-Ladies chapters can use this information to introduce R-Ladies and its work.
3. Readers and other people can see what we do and how we work with our R and non-R communities.

What are Collaborations?

Collaborations and contributions can be a wide range of activities.

• They can be conferences, events or datathons organized by one or more chapters.
• A data analysis for an organization made by an R-Ladies chapter. This does not have to be necessarily open to the whole chapter: it can be done by a group of R-Ladies members, it can have a confidentiality arrangement, and so on.
• Workshops or training-sessions co-organized with other groups, or open to enterprises and/or organizations members.
• Events in which foreign speakers (i.e. non-local) were proposed by an R-Ladies chapter, but an organization helped to bring them in-person to the meeting.

Submit Your Collaboration

To submit a new contribution, please follow these steps:

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account.
2. Copy the template and name it ChapterCity-Organization.Rmd. Use your chapter name (ChapterCity) and the organization's name on the title (Organization).
3. Locate the file in the corresponding folder. This should be at: contributions -> year, where year is the year in which the collaboration took part.
   • If several R-Ladies chapters contributed to the same event, you can: (a) put the name of a geographic region, or (b) list their names if they are not more than three chapters (e.g. ChapterCity1-ChapterCity2-ChapterCity3-Organization.Rmd).
   • If your collaboration/event started in one year, and ended on the next one, please upload in the starting year folder.
4. Once your file is ready, make a Pull Request (PR) for the RMarkdown file. Available curators will review your submission, and make any suggestion if neccesary.
   • If there are revisions to make, you will have to update the PR, until approved.
   • If you are working on Linux, you may need to install some system packages to get the RMarkdown to work properly. Check this help.
5. Once the review is approved, knit your RMarkdown file to create an *.html file, and make a new PR for the HTML file. This will be instantly approved.
