Need some help with R? 
An R workshop, led by John Maindonald, is planned for the 1st October 
at the University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Australia. The 
workshop is being organised by the Queensland branch of the 
Statistical Society of Australia as part of their conference. 
The workshop consists of a morning session with John Maindonald, 
the author of the forthcoming book  "Data Analysis and Graphics 
Using R: An Example-Based Approach" (with John Braun) 
This will be followed by a closer look at some other R packages 
in the afternoon (Bioconductor, nlme, etc).  
The cost for the one-day workshop is only $50 for the whole day 
(includes notes, morning and afternoon tea,  but not lunch). 
Anyone interested in attending can find out more by looking at

Registration forms are available from 
http://www.sci.usq.edu.au/staff/dunn/qstatconf/registration.html
Anyone is, of course, welcome to attend the conference also, 
but it is not necessary if you just wish to attend the 
R workshop.
