Please read through our rules, making sure you understand and agree to follow them.
If you have any questions feel free to email joao.filipe.santos@campus.ul.pt.
Do not share confidential information (e.g., datasets with participants' personally identifiable information), or ask for solutions to class assignments.
Respect everybody. Don't reveal the identity of group members who want to remain anonymous, tolerate opposing views, keep the discussion civil. Be nice whenever possible, except if doing so infringes on the First Rule. Doing other people's assignments, or mentioning their name when they want to stay anonymous is not nice.
Respect the moderators' requests except if doing infringes on the First or Second Rules. Spoiler alert: the moderators are not going to ask you to break any of the above rules.

To participate on an episode, just go to the Session voice channel when the episode goes live.
Now that you are a part of RUGGED, should you wish to be featured on our members page, send us a photo and a short biography (three to five sentences) so we can add you to the page.
You can send the photo and bio through any of the platforms or directly to joao.filipe.santos@campus.ul.pt
To contribute to our projects you can look through the project list, and then head over to our GitLab group and open the corresponding project entry.
Once there (if you're logged in) you can comment on issues, open new ones, and submit merge requests.
Importantly, you do not have to be very experienced with R, git,
GitLab or the other tools we use to contribute. There are less
technical ways to help, for instance, commenting on discussions, giving
feedback and suggestions, helping translate resources, etc... You can
take a look at the open issues labeled "good first
issue",
for...well...a "good first issue" to get you started contributing to our
projects.
If you're more comfortable with projects and/or tooling but don't know how you can help you can take a look at the open issues labeled "help wanted" for...well...a list of issues where help is wanted.
Please note that by contributing you're signing the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin). Meaning, you're stating that you have the legal right to make the contribution (the contribution was made by you, or you otherwise have the right to submit it) under the applicable project's license/s. Also note that, unfortunately, right now, we do not have the means for paying for your time/work.
