As the R-Users Group in Gainesville, we established collectives or learning communities to connect and introduce people to each other that use the R programming language for data wrangling, stats analysis, modeling, simulation, visualization, etc. These gatherings did and will foster a sense of community where we help each other out with coding and design, exchange ideas and forge collaborations.

We established two different groups:

• One for beginners, where we share tips and tricks, or ask questions. This is not to say that only beginners should come: we’d also like more experienced programmers to be there to share their knowledge! Some of us from the R-Users Group organizers will also be there, but we want to avoid this turning into homework help sessions or us (organizers) just troubleshooting code. It’s supposed to be a knowledge exchange!
• One for intermediate/advanced programmers. We run it in a similar format as the beginner group, but we also decided to sometimes have a gathering around a theme (e.g. mixed models, visualization, text analysis, occupancy models) or specific packages. 

We envision these as flexible gatherings: there will be no fixed start or end times, you can drop by any time between 3 and 5 pm (virtual or in-person). No official presentations. The format is social, sit anywhere, talk to anyone, show your tips and amazing work to anyone. You can also just come and work on your R code, and ask questions whenever they arise.
