Meetup Burnout: Slides and Resources

This is a mini-website for my Meetup Burnout talk given at PositConf 2023. It consists of the slides, but also the articles.

R for Data Science Community - one of the best online communities.
(CSCCE) Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community Engagement - Their materials are amazing resources for community building (check their courses out). Some resources that are especially useful:
- Community Participation Model - talks about the continuum of communities and what you can work towards.
- Being a Scientific Community Manager -
rOpenSci Contributor Guidelines - a good example of how to make it easy for your members to contribute
R Ladies Organization Guide - These materials are amazing, and include lots of information about onboarding, mentoring, and codes of conduct.
Data Science Community Builders - Rachael Dempsey at Posit runs a data science community builder meetup.

aggRegate gmail template - we use this to run meetings. There usually is a short (5-10 minute) talk or demo, followed by topics the group wants to discuss. It requires minimal preparation.
Data Scavenger Hunt - the basic idea behind a data scavenger hunt is to explore the data together. I have a shiny app builder called {burro} for this that takes you through basic EDA of a dataset.

If you are a meetup organizer, I salute you. It is hard work.
