I want to start sort of promptly\, by 6:05. (I'll be there by 5:30.) \;\nThe building entry doors will be locked at 7pm. \;\n I'll appreciate help cleaning up\, so we can depart by 8:30. \;\n \;\n*********************************** \;\n \;\nA common complain t against many open source projects is documentation. Insufficient\, inc orrect\, non-existent\, hard to find\, and difficult to update are thing s we typically all hear. There are a lot of different ways to tackle the se problems. There's no silver bullet but one of my favorite tactics is lowering the barriers for absolutely anyone to contribute documentation. \;\n \;\n \;\nIdeally\, lowering the barriers means: \;\n&# 13\;\n \;\n* using a common and well understood documentation markup language \;\n \;\n* using documentation editors that are commonly available \;\n \;\n* not requiring your contributors to install an d configure tools \;\n \;\n* providing a preview of the updates to make reviews reviews easier \;\n \;\n \;\nLearn how Apache jcl ouds has enabled walkup contributions to our project documentation. We'v e benefited from better documentation\, shorter review times\, and build ing community through contribution.\n\nTags: writing\, documentation\, m arkdown\, git\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250467649 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Write-The-Docs-PDX/events/219798767/ SUMMARY:Write The Docs PDX: Enabling Walkup Contributions to Your Project Documentation LOCATION:eBay Community Lounge: 1400 SW 5th Avenue\, 3rd Floor\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160620T175844Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160817T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160817T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160620T175844Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160620T175844Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250470457 DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chester Ismay (https://github.com/ismayc) - Instruct ional Technologist/Statistical Consultant at Reed College \;\n \; \nAbstract: One of the great recent additions from RStudio is the abilit y to create templates in R Markdown that allows R users to customize out put to a variety of document formats while only needing to write in Mark down. You can create templates for outputting Word documents\, HTML docu ments\, and PDF documents all including R code and its output. I’ll disc uss how to go about creating templates\, demonstrate an R Markdown senio r thesis template I created for Reed College seniors that interfaces wit h the traditional LaTeX thesis template\, and hopefully provide you with an opportunity to write a template of your own during this meeting.\n\n Tags: rmarkdown\, programming\, r\, rstats\, markdown\, templating\, edu cation\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250470457 URL:http://www.meetup.com/portland-r-user-group/events/231100247/ SUMMARY:pdxrlang meetup: Chester Ismay - Creating and using templates in R Markdown LOCATION:WeWork US Custom House: 220 NW 8th Ave\, Portland OR 97209 SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
