<h4><strong>What’s MilanoR?</strong></h4>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.milanor.net/blog/" target="_blank">MilanoR</a> is a user group dedicated to bring together local R users. Our aim is to exchange knowledge, learn and share tricks and techniques and provide R beginners with an opportunity to meet more experienced users. We often organize events, such as meetings, workshops and R-labs (aka R learnathons, we’ll look more into this!), both with local and international speakers. If you want an overview of what we did recently, take a look to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://milanor.net/" target="_blank">milanor.net</a> or read this article about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.quantide.com/quantide-milanor-year-long-experience/" target="_blank">our last year of events</a>.</p>
<h4><strong>Who can contribute?</strong></h4>
<p>The answer is simple: <strong>everyone</strong>! Well, everyone with a knowledge of R and something to share.</p>
<p>If you come from abroad and you would need a financial support, write it in the Notes space, at the bottom of the form: we can’t promise anything, but we’ll do our best to try to find funding.</p>
<h4><strong>What kind of submissions are we looking for?</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Talks</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>A talk is usually around 20-45 minutes, and involves the use of a presentation. You can do a tutorial, explain to us your new discovery, idea, widget or whatever you have in mind! You have to specify if it’s going to be in English or in Italian – either is fine. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.milanor.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/paletter-Cirillo-1.pdf" target="_blank">Here</a>‘s an example of what a talk presentation looks like.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Lightning talks</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Lightning talks are just like talks, but faster: only 5 minutes, and 15 slides of 20-30 seconds each. Ideal for someone who doesn’t have much time to prepare a whole 20-mins talk, or find themselves at ease with short timing. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.milanor.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Highchart-Pesenti.pdf" target="_blank">Here</a>‘s a presentation to give you an idea of what we’re talking about.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>R-labs</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>R-labs are our proud venture that’s going absolutely well. During R-labs, a group of R lovers work together to solve a problem. Some examples: the Comune of Milano asked for our help to make the municipality budget accessible to citizens. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.meetup.com/it-IT/R-Lab-Milano/events/239752859/" target="_blank">We built a shiny app for that</a>! (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://r-lab-milano.shinyapps.io/bilancio-milano/" target="_blank">here it is!</a>) We also programmed a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.milanor.net/blog/earthquakes-maps-report-shinyapp-from-r-lab2/" target="_blank">representation of earthquakes evolution</a> for EarthCloud and along with INGM (Istituto Nazionale Genetica Molecolare), a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.meetup.com/it-IT/R-Lab-Milano/events/248445820/" target="_blank">dashboard to recognize risks of various illnesses</a> using personal data. We see a problem and we find a solution together. If you have an issue with R and you want to work on it together, then suggest an R-lab! The R-Lab can last for 3 hours in the evening or for an entire day on a Saturday.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Blog articles</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Usually tutorial about the most various R subjects. They’ll also be published on R-bloggers platform, so be ready for the spotlight! <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.milanor.net/blog/build-color-palette-from-image-with-paletter/" target="_blank">Here</a>‘s an example.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Workshop</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Usually up to 2 hours. Tutorial for 20-50 (or more) people on a beginner or advanced R topic. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.meetup.com/R-Lab-Milano/events/251371339/" target="_blank">This</a> is our last workshop, which had a huge success!</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="https://goo.gl/forms/EURRqMWuvuzccuYu2" target="_blank">Submit your abstracts now</a></strong>, and we’ll get in touch with you very soon!</p>
