For a fourth year running, rOpenSci is excited to announce another unconference in 2017 with a new venue in ☀ Downtown LA. We're organizing this event to bring together scientists, developers, and open data enthusiasts from academia, industry, government, and non-profit to get together for a few days and hack on various projects. Past projects have related to open data, data visualization, data publication and open science using R. To ensure a safe, enjoyable, and friendly experience for everyone who participates, we have a strict code of conduct and terms and conditions.
We are assembling an exciting team of developers and enthusiasts representing academia, industry, government, and various open source projects.

All unconference ideas will begin as GitHub issues on the unconf repo in the weeks before the event. However, the actual schedule will not be decided until the morning of the 25th. You can see some of the projects proposed for last year's event.
In addition to support from the Helmsley Charitable Trust, and our fiscal sponsor NumFOCUS, we are extremely grateful to all the sponsors for this year's event. If your organization would like to sponsor the unconf, please email karthik [at] ropensci org for a sponsorship prospectus.
