Open Tech Calendar

This month we’re inviting Sheffield R users to come together to discuss individual projects and problems at our first R coding surgery and social. Come along for a chance to meet, greet, learn from and collaborate with fellow R users. There will be space to present problems, ideas and projects, and to get help, advice and feedback.

We’ll start with a round of introductions, allowing people briefly to introduce themselves and to propose a topic for discussion. This could be:

• an R project you’ve been working on

• a data science problem that you want to solve

• something you want to learn about.

After going around the room, we’ll have a more detailed discussion covering the topics raised and anything else that comes up along the way. There will be the opportunity for individuals to share code they've been working on and want help with / want feedback on / want to present. Make sure to have this ready before the meeting.

We’re hoping for a varied and lively discussion so please come along with any topic you’d like to discuss, whether really small or really big!

Be prepared!

• Come with a topic you want to discuss or with something you’ve done that you want to tell everyone about, or just come to listen and contribute as much or as little as you want.

• Bring your computer (if you have one) in case you want to work on something. We'll have a laptop/projector available for presentations.

• Feel free to contact us via meetup or twitter if you want to propose a topic or theme for discussion ahead of the meeting.
