NUPEM/UFRJ R Study Group

Bem-vindo ao Grupo de Estudos em R do NUPEM/UFRJ! veja nossa Lista de eventos , ou acesse nosso quadro de discussão (fórum online).

O que é esse grupo de estudos?

Esse é um grupo de estudos onde pessoas com um interesse em comum podem trabalhar de modo colaborativo a compartilhar conhecimentos, habilidades e idéias no âmbito da utilização da programação para a pesquisa acadêmica. O objetivo é criar um espaço amigável onde as pessoas possam compartilhar seu trabalho, ajudar e pedir ajuda sobre programação, aprender e trabalhar junto a seus pares.

Optional: Setting up a Google Calendar for your Study Group

If you'd like to offer your community a calendar of events they can import into their own calendars, try using a Google Calendar. To set up, make a new google account, and update the variables in _config.yml under the heading 'Setup Google Calendar'.

You can add events to your calendar by hand, but if you'd like to manage it automatically, there's a script to do so in scripts/updateCalendar.py; instructions for use are at the top of that file.

How to Launch a New Event

When you're ready to list a new event for your Study Group, follow these steps, or watch this video where we walk you through event listing.

1. Make a new Issue to describe your event.

• Click on 'Issues' over on the right sidebar of your repo,
• click the green 'New Issue' button near the top right.
• You'll then see a form where you can give your event a title and a description - fill these out with all the relevant information:
  • Where will your event be? Include a link to a map.
  • When will it be? Date and time.
  • Should people do anything to prepare beforehand (install any dependencies, set something up?)

2. Go to the _posts directory. It'll be at https://github.com/yourUserName/studyGroup/tree/gh-pages/_posts - or you can click on _posts in your repo.

3. Make a new file by clicking on the + sign beside _posts/ Name it like the following:

   YYYY-MM-DD-word.markdown
   

   where YYYY-MM-DD is the date of your event, and word is anything you want.

4. Cut and paste the following into your new file:

   ---
   title: Study Group Meetup
   text: a one sentence description of your event
   location: Hacky Hour Stadium
   link: https://github.com/yourUserName/studyGroup/issues/1234
   date: 2016-01-04
   startTime: '15:00'
   endTime: '16:00'
   ---
   

   Change all the fields to describe your event; make sure the link is the address of the issue you created When you're done, click 'Commit Changes' at the bottom.

That's it! Your event is now listed on your webpage, and there's a discussion thread where people can ask questions and discuss the details. Events will be automatically removed from the schedule on the webpage when they're more than a week in the past - but the issue you created will always be there as a record of what you've done.

Event Listing Gotchas: here are a few things to look out for when listing an event:

• Did you remember to include the --- above and below? The website builder needs those.
• Can't find the issue tracker? Remember to turn it on under the 'Settings' menu on the right.
• The seven fields need to be on exactly one line each; some text editors will insert line breaks into lines that are too long; remove these if so.

How to Stay in Touch With Your Members

Now that you're all set up, GitHub provides several ways to stay in touch with the people involved in your Study Group.

• Ask users to Watch your repo. Make sure all your users click 'Watch' at the top of your repository. This way, they'll be automatically notified of all the events you post in your issue tracker.
• Use the Issue Tracker. The Issue Tracker is your public message board to make announcements, ask questions and start conversations with your members. You can find yours at https://github.com/yourUserName/studyGroup/issues.
• Use the Mozilla Science Forum to chat with study groups worldwide. Find the forum here; use this to share your stories, ask questions to the wider community, and find out who's out there.

Feature Your Community in the 'Who We Are' Section

Your website includes a gallery of participants in your Study Group; adding people here is a great way to show off your community and highlight your new friends and colleagues. To add someone to the list, edit the _data/members.yml file by adding the following section for them:

- name: their human name
  affiliation: school, lab, department, business....
  github: their GitHub handle
  interests:
    - list one to three
    - different interests
