Who are 'the ggplot2 extenders' and how to become one
summary
Formed in 2022, the ggplot2 extenders group meets virtually and has showcased almost 30 extension projects that demonstrate concrete patterns, code snippets, and packaging choices; resources include a join form, a website with recorded sessions and a discussion page, plus an easy geom starter for hands‑on practice. A recent project, ggsprings, implements Hooke’s‑law style geoms for teaching and worked after group feedback on computation and packaging. Next meetup is a ggplot2 4.0.0 release party on October 3.
