I kind of admire the breezy tone here, but worry that if someone takes this at face value, they might show up effectively needing 1-on-1 help for the entire day. I think getting an R package dev environment set up in advance (or at least trying very hard to do so) is basically a pre-req. I would mention the Git/GitHub workshop that @mine-cetinkaya-rundel will run as recommended prep for folks who've never made a PR before.

We can say something like: "Leading up to TDD, we will hold (optional) virtual "office hours" for TDD participants to help you with your Git workflow so that you can stroll into TDD confident that your R, Git, GitHub, and IDE are set up in the most ideal way possible to work in harmony on your laptop."


## How to sign up

There is a $TODO cost for the day; we provide the venue, snacks, lunch, and a barista. If cost is an issue, please email TODO and we'll work that out. We only charge a small fee to encourage people to show up for the day.

Historically I feel like we donated some or all of the funds? It certainly doesn't cover the cost of the event. As you say, it's to discourage folks from flaking out. If donation is the current plan, we could mention the target org here.

I saw that in a previous post but I had not heard anything about this year. I'm happy to put something in if we have confirmation.

Yeah, we don't donate any more. It goes into Posit's general funds to slightly offset the cost of the event.

Communication is really slow and there were lots of back and forth to clear things up unfortunately. I reached out to them again to get the contract signed.
