<p>Summer is finally here! Join R-Ladies Chicago to celebrate! We are a group of women and non-binary individuals who code with the programming language R and support each other on our learning journey.</p> <p>• What we'll do:<br/>We'll be tasting and rating a few wines (and non-alcoholic drinks too!), analyzing the data from our ratings, and learning how to make a data visualization in R. Wine consumption is absolutely optional --we'll have non-alcoholic beverages &amp; pizza too.</p> <p>There will be no formal technical talk at this meeting; rather, this is a time to network with fellow R-Ladies while doing a collaborative coding activity. This is part of our “social” Meetups, focused on networking and idea exchange.</p> <p>• Collaborative Coding:<br/>We know the idea of coding with others can be daunting, but this is a safe space and everyone is welcome (even if you do not know how to use R yet). This will be a relaxed environment and a good chance to meet some of your fellow R-Ladies, so please do not feel like you do not know enough to join in.</p> <p>Schedule:<br/>5:45-6:15 -- Food, Wine Tasting, Intros &amp; Announcements<br/>6:10-7:15 -- Collaborative Coding Activity<br/>7:15-7:35 -- Groups will share what they did with the rest of the group (if they want to!)<br/>7:35-8:00 -- Socializing/Networking/Hanging out</p> <p>Q: Are men welcome to attend this event?<br/>A: Our primary mission is to encourage more women and non-binary individuals to get involved in the R community. ***As such, we strongly encourage that all men who attend this event have a female or non-binary sponsor. Please contact [masked] if you have questions.***</p> <p>Additionally, please help us by spreading the word about R-Ladies, and by being respectful of the fact that this event is primarily for women/non-binary/female-identifying individuals.</p> <p>• What to bring<br/>Laptop or notebook if you can! Wifi is available and live-tweeting is encouraged.</p> <p>• Important to know<br/>We expect all attendees to abide &amp; be governed by our community code of conduct.
