The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), observed annually on 20 November, memorializes those who were killed or lost to suicide as a result of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice in the past year. In 2018, Cardiff R User Group hosted a datathon centred on the data collected by monitoring bodies and trans activists about relevant deaths, as collated for recent years on https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/. This resulted in a R data package: https://github.com/cardiffR/tdor.
As a pre-event for Cardiff satRday we will be hosting another hackathon with two main objectives:
- Explore the data for 2019: help with data cleaning as well as story-telling via visualisations, dashboards, etc.
- Update the tdor package with the 2019 data and add functionality to work with the new API for https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/.
The hackathon is on Friday 15 November, 1:00pam to 6:00pm, where we will welcome the maintainer of https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/ as an invited participant, see further details on Meetup.
The datathon is supported by Forwards (https://forwards.github.io/) and Rainbow R (https://rlgbtq.github.io/).
We have two guides for getting started:
Data Explorer
Package Contributor
and related sets of issues to work on
data issues on this repo
package issues on the tdor repo
Choose the path that suits your interest! In both cases you can use the R Studio cloud instance, which is already set up with the latest version of the data, the tdor package and all its dependencies, and other useful packages for data exploration and package development. If you don't already have one, we recommend you sign up for a GitHub account - see the advice on choosing a username in the great Happy Git and GitHub for the useR. Use of git is required for package contribution, but you can always team up with others if you want to contribute but aren't familiar with git.
