Meet with other users of the open-source programming language R. Previously, this meetup focused only on the R language, but is now focused on all open-source data analysis tools; including but not limited to, Python, Julia, C++, Stan, etc.
Learn and share tricks and techniques from and with other users. Beginners to advanced users are all welcome.
