Quarto listing for talks and workshops

I spent a bit of time this weekend updating my #Quarto listing for talks and workshops 🤗

Check it out here: ivelasq.rbind.io/talk

Many thanks to Meghan Hall for sharing the template and CSS code! 💜

This is next week! A fun discussion about ggpal2 & chores.

I think the coolest part is you should leave understanding how to create your own chore with little to no code.

If you're new to AI or want a low-barrier way to create an assistant with R, chores is a great place to start.

📣🚨 Very much looking forward to hearing from @frankiethull.bsky.social about the intersection of coded data viz and AI assistants! 👀🚀

Join us Tuesday Dec 2nd, at 3pm Eastern to hear about {ggpal2}, a {chores} extension. #ggplot2 #ai #chores

I wrote a lil post on the amazing work that
@ginareynolds.bsky.social does championing ggplot2 extension developers and teaching others to build their own!

The post features the Scrollytelling Quarto extension and the group's cute #RStats hex 🐱:

📊💿🧡🎉 Exciting news!!

'Release party' tomorrow Friday Oct 3rd at 3pm Eastern for #ggplot2 v4.0.0!

With developer and maintainer @teunbrand! bit.ly/join-gg-exte...

Hope the your event goes well!

Can we count on you to be at the party? 🤩💿🎉

This is a welcome surprise! Quite a meaty update with loads of new features - can't wait to jump in. 😃

And `accent`! (That default blue on geom_smooth, and a few other geoms)

This is extremely exciting!
(But also with the release party being on October 3rd, a missed opportunity to use a "The Life of a Showgirl" reference.)

Yes! We were thinking of a date around this time for the 'release party' and then when TS's album release was announced, it seemed like we should coordinate! 💿🧡📊

@jessgraves.bsky.social there is also a new layout argument in the ggplot2 release!👀

ggh4x author and ggplot2 dev/maintainer @teunbrand.bsky.social will be discussing release notes at the ggplot2 extenders this Fri!

And at_panel, early days, in extenders discussions: :)
