South Coast MA UseR Group
New Bedford, MA
Who we are:
The South Coast MA UseR Group is a place for statistical programmers of all skill levels to find community, share knowledge, and explore R on the South Coast of Massachusetts. We focus mainly on R, with the occasional deviation to talk about other open-source tools.
Our meetings are designed to meet the needs and interests of our members so our meeting structure varies from one month to the next. We invite guest speakers to showcase interesting tools in R, organize discussions on special topics, and hold skills workshops to allow our community members to learn from and practice R with other community members. If you are interested in leading one of our meetings to introduce a specific tool or topic let our organizers know (email: southcoastmausergroup@gmail.com).
New to R?
We are excited to welcome new R users into our group, all you need is a computer and an open mind. Before diving into our meetings there are a few things we think you should know:
• We were all new to R at some point, and while it may seem overwhelming at first our group is here to help R users or ALL skill levels gain skills and confidence.
• You will need access to R and RStudio to get the most out of our meetings. RStudio Cloud is an option to run R in a web browser or you can install R and RStudio before the meeting.
Join us:
We meet on the first Thursday of each month from 4-6 PM (Eastern). For now our meetings will take place remotely via zoom (RSVP ~24 hours in advance so we can send you the meeting details), but it is our hope that we will hold meetings at locations across the South Coast once it is safe to do so. If you are interested in hosting one of these meetings at a location near you in the future contact our organizers (email: southcoastmausergroup@gmail.com).
Code of Conduct:
All participants (including attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers) at South Coast MA UseR events are required to agree to the R Consortium and the R Community code of conduct.
The code of conduct applies to all meeting activities including talks, panels, workshops, and social events. It extends to meeting-specific exchanges on social media, for instance posts tagged with the identifier of the conference (e.g. [#SouthCoastMAUseR] on Twitter), and replies to such posts.
Organizers will enforce this code throughout and expect cooperation in ensuring a safe environment for all. If you feel that someone is not acting in accordance with this code of conduct please notify the organizers (email: southcoastmausergroup@gmail.com).
Acknowledgments: Parts of this code of conduct were adapted from the version used for R conferences.
We are excited to be sponsored by the R consortium's R User Group Support Program!
We are grateful for the virtual meeting support provided by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Upper Cape Ski and Sports Club
Falmouth, MA
We are a year round club involved in all sorts of outdoor activities. Our primary goal is to promote skiing and snowboarding but we also bike, hike, kayak, camp and are open to suggestions from our members. Some of our activities are at no cost while others require minimal payments for events. We frequent New England ski areas as well as those out West and in Europe. We offer day trips, week-end trips and week long or even 10 day trips out West, to Canada and to European resorts. We also enjoy living and playing in the outdoors on Cape Cod.
The last seven years have seen us branch out in another direction by offering bicycle and barge trips to The Loire Valley in France, a trip from Amsterdam to Bruges and a 4 Country bike and boat trip down the Danube River. In 2019 we went to Provence France to see the magnificent Camargue region. For 2022 we offer a bike and boat trip to Croatia as well as Italy, both are in May. September 2022 brings us to Canada as we are going on a boat trip up the Rideau canal from Smiths Falls to just south of Ottawa . Visit our website for the details, these trips will be in the easy to moderate category and anyone can do them. Electric bikes are always an option.
Come on in and kick the tires...... For a complete overview of our club go to www.uppercapeskiclub.com then select the Trip/Event signup tab at the top for a complete list of events.
Having fun in the outdoors since 1985! That is what we are all about.

Island Vegans
Newport, RI
NEW: WE HAVE A FACEBOOK GROUP AT: https://www.facebook.com/groups/119354365479390/ You can join us here on Meetup as well, but in time we may transition to Facebook exclusively.
---------
This meetup group is for vegans who would like to meetup and hangout with other vegans on and near Aquidneck Island (Newport, Portsmouth, Middletown, Narraganset, Fall River, etc.)
This meetup group is for those who practice kindness and non-violence toward ALL animals. As vegans we choose not to commission the exploitation of animals when it comes to our choices for food, clothing and entertainment.
You are encouraged to join if you are not yet vegan but are seriously interested in becoming vegan. Whether you're the sort that takes the immediate plunge and never looks back, or finds yourself easing into it - you will find the group friendly and eager to support you and provide resources!
Island Vegans will have meetups including dining, nightlife, outdoor activities, providing the opportunity to take a timeout from a world of systemic animal use and find an oasis where you can socialize exclusively with others who view our world through the same lens you do!
