<p><span>Hi everyone!</span></p>
<p>Great news for the MilanoR community: we are launching R-Lab, a monthly R project of co-working with R on real data science projects.</p>
<p><span>Either if you are an R expert, a beginner, or you just curious, you are welcome to join us! <strong>The first event will be on March 14th, in Mikamai, Milano </strong>(more info below).</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h3>What is an R-Lab?</h3>
<p>The R-Labs are evening kind of mini-hackathons where we work together with R on a real problem.</p>
<p><span>In short, this is the plan:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>A company/institution/university proposes a real problem, and teaches something about that issue</span></li>
<li><span>We work together on the solution, possibly having fun</span></li>
<li><span>Everything we do is released on Github</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>We hope to create a space where R users and institutions can meet and exchange their knowledge and needs.</span></p>
<h3>Where can I join the group?</h3>
<p><span>You can join the group on the Meetup platform here: </span></p>

<h2>R-Lab #1 – March 14th, Milano</h2>
<p>The first R-Lab edition will be hosted by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mikamai.com/">Mikamai</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.linkme.it/">LinkMe</a>, in Milano, on Tuesday March 14th.</p>
<p>You can see the event and join from here: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.meetup.com/R-Lab-Milano/events/238081972/">https://www.meetup.com/R-Lab-Milano/events/238081972/</a></p>
<p><span>For the first event, we are ready to start with the following agenda:</span></p>
<p><span>18:45 : Meeting at Mikamai</span></p>
<p><span>19:00 : Intro: The R-Lab format + Theme of the day</span><b>: RStudio addins: a shortcut to your favourite functionalities</b></p>
<p><span>19:40 : Get some nice pizza (for those who want it)</span></p>
<p><span>19:45 : Coding together in small groups + eating the above pizza </span></p>
<p><span>22:00 : Comments and feedbacks </span></p>
<p><span>22:30 : Goodbye and see you soon!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h4><b>A bit more about the theme of the day</b></h4>
<p><span>Most of you may be familiar with RStudio, but most likely not so many of you know an RStudio feature which is called Addin. Addins are a way of interactively executing R functions from RStudio user interface, either through keyboard shortcuts, or through an interactive menu. In other words, you have a way to call a function, that you often use, with a simple shortcut; more than this, you can interact with RStudio itself, e.g. with the cursor position, the file content etc, to the extent of building addins as local shiny gadgets!</span></p>
<p><span>During this first R-Lab we are going to introduce the Addins and how they work.Then we’ll try to address some open problems building ad hoc Addins, working together in small groups. </span></p>
<p><span>Everything we build will be collected on Github and made available for everybody.</span></p>
<p><b>Admission is free!</b></p>
<p> </p>
<h4><b>When</b></h4>
<p><span>H:18.45, March 14th</span></p>
<h4><b>Where</b></h4>
<p><span>We will be hosted by Mikamai and LinkMe in their location: Via Giulio e Corrado Venini, 42 (very close to the Pasteur metro station).</span></p>
<h4><b>What to bring</b></h4>
<p><span>Be sure to bring your own computer, possibly with the latest version of RStudio</span></p>
