#PositConf2023 is coming to an end, but R-Ladies Global and R-Ladies Chicago have a joint meetup today!

At 6pm Plaza AB we will present some news from the current #rladies leadership and global team, as well as have a panel discussion with chapter organisers.

https://www.meetup.com/rladies-chicago/events/295030949/

We will also organise a group photo!

We'd love to see all gender minorities there to mingle and learn about R-Ladies. Allies welcome with an R-lady sponsor.

I'm at the documentation driven development stage of an #rstats package of mine. I swear, I get the most important bugs out during this phase.

I finally have news!

I've been hinting about some larger things going on at work, and that I have not been in a position to say anything untill all applications were approved. It is not approved and I can say:

Me and two colleagues (as a start) are establishing a core facility at the University of Oslo to help researchers in social and humanities sciences with their projects.

Our R-Ladies directory is growing!

We just added some new functionality for filtering the entires, and hope this helps you find speakers for your events!

If your entry does not get filtered correctly, you should consider updating it. The filtering works best with new or newly updated entries!

I've co-written a post with the amazing @maelle about our enthusiasm for the {cli} #rstats 📦

Cliff notes about the {cli} package (maintained by @gaborcsardi)

{cli} is a fantastic package for building informative and pretty command-line interfaces. ✨

We hope others can benefit from our explorations!

the second call for mentors and champions for @rOpenSci Champions program is open!

I have loved being a mentor for this first cohort, and I have learned so much from this process. About #rstats package dev, about mentoring, and about the amazing things that are happening in our community.

And the people! So many awesome new contacts and friends and I am looking forward to what the next cohort brings!

Has anyone in my #rstats circle here every published a plumber API with Posit Cloud? Trying to figure out some stuff, and I am trying to understand if Posit Cloud can do this, or if I need Posit Connect?

I had my first night of full and relaxing sleep.

I'm still on a slight #PositConf2023 high, but most of all on an #rladies high! Yesterday's meetup was brilliant, and we met so many existing and new community members and organisers from all around the world.

I'm so eager to see what new thing you will all be doing in the time forward!

Make sure to follow our now officially announced @RLadiesGlobal account!

The R-Ladies Global Team is recruiting! 🤗

We have openings for ✨22✨ new volunteers. 😲

Your support would relieve current volunteers from serving in multiple roles as well as allow us to create new teams and expand existing teams, all of which is critical to sustainable growth and maintenance of the organization. 💜

My Macbook's habit of intentionally not using the power cable and draining its battery just before I want to use it while traveling is getting very annoying.

At the least it could give some sort of message before entering battery-drain mode?? thanks #Apple.

I'm turning 40 in a month. My wife asked me what I want for my birthday.

All I could think of was: power tools

More specifically, a compressor and lots of attachments to paint, nail and what not.

If you all are wondering what I do when I don't build research software...

I build physical objects 🛠️

I'm Bob the builder.

Today I confirmed some decisions I made 20 years ago and I must say I congratulate myself.

I should trust my self more.

Thank you continuous backups! I was working in RStudio and the git pane was showing "./" as being staged and I was unable to unstage it. It displayed a small amount of code from one R function, so I just reverted it after backing up that file... which reverted ALL the files in the repo to their last state (with days worth of work being gone) 😬 😬 😬

Thankfully I was able to pull versions of the files from an hour prior from backblaze, with minimal work lost

Hello. This is Mo calling from long covid sick leave. Pollen is the worst. Like, everything is yellow and I can't breathe normally.

I love spring and summer, but birch pollen here is so damn severe!
