OceaniaR Hackathon 2024
21 October 2024, Melbourne
We are excited to announce the first OceaniaR Hackathon day. This event is a chance to collaborate in-person on R-focused projects for social good, with some of the leading developers in the R community. There will also be time to hold informal talks to share ideas, concepts and new packages for feedback.
This event will have a focus on promoting projects and participation from R users in the Oceania region including Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
All project ideas will be listed as Issues on the project Github and decided on the day.
