About us
This is a local chapter of R-Ladies Global (https://www.rladies.org), an organisation that promotes gender diversity in the R community worldwide. We meetup in person or virtually to learn about the R programming language, algorithms and advanced tools.
R-Ladies welcomes members of all R proficiency levels, whether you're a new or aspiring R user, or an experienced R programmer interested in mentoring, networking & expert upskilling. Our community is designed to develop our members' R skills & knowledge through social, collaborative learning & sharing. Supporting minority identity access to STEM skills & careers, the Free Software Movement, and contributing to the global R community!
We are pro-actively inclusive of queer, trans, and all minority identities, with additional sensitivity to intersectional identities. Our priority is to provide a safe community space for anyone identifying as a minority gender who is interested in working with R. As a founding principle, there is no cost or charge to participate in any of our R-Ladies communities around the world. You can access our presentations, R scripts, and Projects on our Github account (https://github.com/rladies) and follow us on Mastodon (https://hachyderm.io/@RLadiesGlobal) to stay up to date about R-Ladies news!
Make sure you read and comply with our code of conduct (https://rladies.org/coc/) and community guidelines (https://guide.rladies.org/about/mission/#r-ladies-rules--guidelines).

R-Ladies+ Corvallis: Learning Positron Workshop
Corvallis-Benton County Public Library, 645 Northwest Monroe Avenue, Corvallis, OR, USAre you an R and/or Python user interested in learning about the Positron IDE? Join the R-Ladies Corvallis community for a workshop led by Posit's very own Charlotte Wickham! You do not need to have any experience with Positron to attend.
We'll have snacks and time set aside for mingling and asking questions. We hope you join us!Workshop details
Positron is the new IDE from Posit — the team behind RStudio. If you've been curious but haven't had the time to try it yet, this workshop is for you. In one hour, we'll get you up and running, with plenty of time to explore and get your questions answered.
I (Charlotte) will have a few slides prepared with:
- the most important things to know when you are a new Positron user,
- tips for transitioning from RStudio, and
- Positron features I think make the transition worth it.
I'll try to limit how much time I'm talking to give you as much time as possible to actually use Positron and ask questions about it.
Before the workshop
- Check your R version: Positron requires R 4.2 or greater. To check: open R, and examine the welcome message or run `R.version$version.string`. To update: visit https://cloud.r-project.org
- Install Positron: https://positron.posit.co/install.html
