Tidy Dev Day (TDD) is a community event where R developers and open source contributors gather to collaboratively tackle real issues across the tidyverse ecosystem. We’ll have a curated slate of issues ready to go — you can dive in solo or pair up with another attendee or with one of our experienced developers. TDD 2026 will be held on September 17, 2026 9 am - 4 pm CDT in Houston, TX, immediately following posit::conf(2026).
Who should come?#
You don’t need an extensive development background. You don’t need to have solved issues before or sent a pull request. What you do need: a GitHub account and some basic familiarity with git.
In the weeks before TDD, on September 3, 2026 at 12-1 pm EDT, we’ll hold optional virtual office hours so you can get your R environment, git workflow, GitHub setup, and IDE all humming in harmony — walk in on the day feeling completely ready. Participants who have signed up by that date will receive an email with the Zoom link for the office hours.
How to sign up#
There is a token $10 cost for the day; we provide the venue, snacks, lunch, and a barista. If cost is an issue, please email hadley@posit.co and we’ll work that out. We only charge a small fee to encourage people to show up for the day.
