OceaniaR Hackathon 2025

23 November 2025, Canberra

We are excited to announce the next OceaniaR Hackathon day. This event is run by the Statistical Computing and Visualisation Section of the Statistical Society of Australia. It’s 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.
