Background

The mission of R-Ladies is to promote gender diversity in the R community. The organization aims to support all underrepresented genders, including but not limited to cis/trans women, trans men, non-binary, genderqueer, and agender individuals. The organization received feedback that not all underrepresented genders identify with the name “R-Ladies”. In April of 2024, we, the R-Ladies Global Leadership Team, opened the “Re-branding from R-Ladies to R-Ladies+” GitHub issue to address the organization’s need to be more explicit about our mission to serve underrepresented gender minorities beyond cis women while preserving the established identity of our organization and also recognizing global variation in the ability to safely do so.

TL;DR

The R-Ladies global organization is rebranding from R-Ladies to R-Ladies+ in an effort to align our brand with our mission to serve all minority genders in the R community. We are seeking services to create a new visual profile and brand book for R-Ladies+.
