We’re following up our Community Call - Set Up Your Package to Foster a Community - with an experiment!

Join us for 1.5 hours Thursday, April 29, 9 AM Pacific / 16:00 UTC for our first co-working “label-athon”.

  • Meet other package developers and rOpenSci staff in Zoom
  • Work independently, implementing some of our recommendations for what you can add/modify in your own package to encourage community participation
    • Code of Conduct
    • Contributing guide
    • Roadmap and expectations
    • Open and label issues to invite contributions
  • Get answers to your questions

At the end of the session we’ll tweet links to your “help wanted” issues to help you get attention to your project.

Our experiment includes 4 label-athons (if y’all show up, we can do more) at alternating times to accommodate our community around the world. Thursdays April 29, May 13, May 27, June 10.

Registration is encouraged.
