This **Friday, January 5, 9.30am-5.30pm UK time** ,  
there will be a [scoringutils](https://epiforecasts.io/scoringutils/) development day at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (Keppel St, London, room 207).

scoringutils is an R package that facilitates the evaluation of forecasts and is also used by Epinowcast. We’ll spend the day working on the package (foods and drinks provided) and welcome all contributions! Even if you’ve never worked with the package or only have a couple of minutes, please drop by!  
You can join online via Zoom as well. Link and additional information can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JCAMGytYxekvuXKpe8LQe3LDToQPW3eiO5fIT64qny4/edit).

Just got my first PR in!

Anyone can feel free to drop in and out of this + do work async if that better fits your schedule.
