Dear useRs, we have finally put together the program for the useR! 2008 conference, it is available online at http://www.R-project.org/useR-2008/program.html We think the contributions provide an exciting program with a rich variety in the kaleidoscope sessions and many classical as well as hot topics in the focus sessions. We look forward to the conference and seeing many participants for interesting discussion in Dortmund!
