+1 for webinar/posting the talks online if possible

It’s not currently arranged to broadcast or record but I know that would be valuable. I’ll look into it and post answer here - likely next week.

Cheers

We’re out of luck Barbara. The webcasting / recording system at the venue is under repair so will be delivered in person only.

Hi Stefanie,

That’'s ok I really appreciate you trying anyway, thanks very much for that. Maybe some people will write up some stuff and make it available, that would be good too.

Thanks again,

Barbara

@prosoitos Bringing discussion over here for a local touch.

Since you’re involved in SFU’s Research Commons as an R Peer and other open source initiatives (Cheatsheets Feedback) I wanted to note the R Study Group https://ubc-r-study-group.github.io/studyGroup/ now hosted at UBC’s Research Commons! SFU connection via @ttimbers formerly at SFU.

You’re likely to find some like-minded people there (a trek to UBC, I know). And some participants, like @SimonGoring are familiar with rOpenSci

For the benefit of folks here, @prosoitos posted this in another thread: Cheatsheets Feedback

Thanks stefanie. ttimbers started SciProg with others at SFU (and I met her through SciProg) before moving to UBC and creating the UBC group. I am a SciProg admin and involved in the group. I also know SimonGoring who was still in Biology here when I already was.

Our “Who we are” page badly needs updating though… :stuck_out_tongue: and Tiffany is still on it.
