Become a sponsor to Data Science Learning Community (older repos)

The home of DSLC.io Book Club resources.

The r4ds organization hosts the collaborative resources for the Data Science Learning Community. This is where our members collaborate on open-source slide decks and learning materials for our cohort-based book clubs, covering topics from R and Python to statistics and machine learning.

Why Sponsor Us?

While we have been incredibly lucky to receive generous community support in the past that helped us get this far, the day-to-day operations are currently paid for out-of-pocket. Your sponsorship directly supports the infrastructure that keeps our community running and ensures it remains free for everyone.

Funds go toward:

  • Zoom Accounts: Essential for hosting our weekly book club cohorts.
  • Google Workspace & Domains: The backbone of our organization and our many helpful sites (like dslc.club).
  • Sustainability: Supporting the time spent managing cohorts and maintaining these open resources.

Thank you for helping us keep the lights on!
