rainbowR - a community that supports, connects and promotes LGBTQ+ people who code in R
summary
rainbowR describes a community of over a hundred members that runs monthly Zoom meetups (usually fourth Wednesdays), a buddy scheme that opens signups every three months and uses an R script that randomizes buddy pairs and auto‑emails both people, and a public tidyRainbow dataset repo for data‑driven activism. A book club on Queer Data by Kevin Guillen starts in autumn, the next buddy allocation runs at the beginning of September, and conference meetups including a lunch and Slack channel are active.
