Subject: [R] R-User groups in North America (SF, LA, NYC, Ottawa) From: "Michael E. Driscoll" Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:01:03 -0700 To: r-help@r-project.org Hi R folks, I'd like to announce several new R users groups here in SF, LA, NYC, and Ottawa - as well as their next scheduled event. The goal of these user groups, besides gently explaining 'drop=TRUE' to the uninitiated, is to exchange knowledge, promote best practices, and spur the adoption of R for innovative applications. If I've missed any groups here, please feel to add on to this message!
