@minisciencegirl or @BillMills can one of you apply appropriate labels? I think it's event + intermediate. I took the liberty of just opening this issue; feel free to correct me if I overlooked some convention.

How can I join?Hangout link or on air?

Answer 7 · 2016-08-07T18:38:54.000Z

Is anyone who's planning to attend willing to be the person to manage some sort of hangout? To connect with @vjd and @drashti4, for example? I'd like to not be on the hook for managing that connection, but I don't mind if a few others join us remotely.

This is intermediate level session but I don't have much idea about R.Can I join?

Answer 9 · 2016-08-07T19:13:14.000Z

@drashti4 It might not make a lot of sense if you have very little knowledge of R. The "intermediate" label is genuine.
