<div dir="ltr">Many thanks to Jonathan for coordinating and facilitating the discussion yesterday, and to Gary and JooYoung for the updates.<div><br></div><div>Sorry I had to leave early--had a class to teach. I didn't know we'd run so long over the one hour that was on the calendar invite but it sounds like it was a great chat. I look forward to hearing more about the tips that were shared, but I would greatly appreciate any notes taken after the first hour when I had to leave. Many thanks in advance.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Shawn<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><font size="1"><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="1"><b><span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Futura;font-size:x-small">________________________</span></span></b></font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="1"><b>Shawn Janzen</b> ●</font></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"> Instructor & PhD student</span><span><font size="1"><font size="1"> </font></font></span><span><font size="1"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="1">●</font></span></font></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"> (he/him/his)</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">University of Maryland<span><font size="1"><font size="1"> </font></font></span></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span><font size="1"><font size="1"><span><font size="1"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="1">●</font></span></font></span></font> </font></span>College of Information Studies (iSchool)</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">4161 Fieldhouse Drive (Patuxent Building)<span><font size="1"><font size="1"> </font></font></span></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span><font size="1"><span><font size="1"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="1">●</font></span></font></span> </font></span>Room 1109-K<span><font size="1"><font size="1"> </font></font></span></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span><font size="1"><font size="1"><span><font size="1"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="1">●</font></span></font></span></font> College Park, MD 20742</font></span></span><font size="1"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><a href="http://www.ischool.umd.edu" target="_blank">www.ischool.umd.edu</a> <span></span></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span><font size="1"><span><font size="1"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="1">●</font></span></font></span> </font></span><font size="1"><a href="mailto:sjanzen@umd.edu" target="_blank">sjanzen@umd.edu</a></font></span></p></div></font><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span></span></span></div></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 8:15 PM Godfrey, Jonathan via BlindRUG <<a href="mailto:blindrug@nfbnet.org">blindrug@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our first meet up via Zoom was pretty good and there was sufficient desire to do it again in 2-3 months’ time. At this stage, I propose using 20:00GMT again, on Thursday 10 September so you might pencil that in your diaries now. I hope
that then leaves us time to have another session in late November or early December. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My thanks to those people who joined us at what may have been an anti-social time of day in their part of the world. The start time may not have been unattractive, but we did go for more than the planned 90 minutes before getting into friendly
chit-chat at the end.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some tips were shared today, and will be shared on this list as time allows for the relevant contributor. There was also one question which will be put on the list to see if more help is out there.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My thanks to JooYoung and Gary for the updates on improving the accessibility of RStudio. It is clear that there is hope for our collective desire to be making full use of RStudio; we are definitely in a different era now, and it will
only get better in the coming months. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, we did make a rough plan for the next discussion. It was clear that a number of people want to start or get better at using R markdown so this is what we’ll look at in greater detail next time. My thanks to JooYoung for offering
to help lead this discussion.<u></u><u></u></p>
