FW: [opensource-announce] Collaborate and Grow: Open Source for Research Coders

[Elise C Hellwig]

Hi D-RUGies!

 

As R users, you all are members of a broader group of open-source software users. The event below can help you build connections with that community in academia and beyond. And if nothing else you can hang out with me!

Sorry, that should have said “Thursday, May 29”!

Are you a researcher or student who writes scripts, handles data, or maintains
specialized tools? Without realizing it, you might already be part of the open
source community! This casual one-hour gathering is designed specifically for
scientists, researchers, and academics who code as part of their work but
might not necessarily identify as "programmers."

Whether you're a biologist analyzing genomic data, a sociologist processing
survey results, or a geologist mapping terrain features, this meetup will show
you how your coding skills connect to the broader open source ecosystem. We'll
explore how the tools you already use (and perhaps contribute to) fit into the
open source landscape, and discuss simple ways to benefit from and participate
in this collaborative community.

Join us Thursday, May 27 at 3pm for refreshments and conversation with others
who, like you, use computation to advance their research. No technical
expertise required—just register below and bring your curiosity!

See you there!
