TL; DR The R-Ladies Global Team is recruiting new members! Please fill this form to submit yourself for consideration. Background The R-Ladies Global Team is made of volunteers that dedicate a few hours per week to the management of the global organization. We think of ourselves as one larger Global Team comprised of many smaller teams that address specific organizational needs.

In this post, you will see that we have used the R-Ladies logo with the colors of the rainbow and the trans flags. We have also added a + to the R-Ladies name. As symbols and words matter a lot, we wanted to explicitly communicate, with the use of these symbols, the importance of diversity and inclusion to our community. We used them in this useR! to reinforce that we welcome diversity and put an effort into creating collectively a safe and friendly space.
