useR! infoboard produced by Google Season of Docs 2021 project
Published on January 4, 2022 by Heather Turner
We've successfully set up an information board for useR! conferences.
The information board was one of the proposed outputs of our Google Season of Docs 2021 project. This resource is in the form of a dashboard that provides statistics about the useR! conferences. It was built using flexdashboard, an R language based static dashboard generator. Data for several years of useR! were curated in CSV files and hosted on GitLab where the whole project lives.
What is presented on the dashboard covers historical information around keynotes, presentations, tutorials, sponsors, organizing/program committees, registration fees, key dates, participation, etc. A specific piece of information can easily be located by filtering the tables; most charts are downloadable and the data behind each table or plot is also available.
We welcome you to take a look at the dashboard to explore the data. We hope this resource becomes useful in the planning of future useR! conferences as well as other local and regional R conferences.
