R help - Aug 2006 - [Off-Topic-but somewhat related] DIA/FDA Open Toolbox Initiative

UseR's-

As this is slightly off-topic I will limit the discussion to only the
major points; for further information feel free to reply off-line.

DIA and FDA are hosting a forum to discuss (as per the Goal of the
announcement--see link below) "a vendor-neutral software product to
support validated analytic procedures ("tools") and make tool
development a collaborative effort among reviewers, academic
researchers, and the pharmaceutical industry." The analytic procedures
could be done in R. SAS (gasp), Stata, Splus, or other programming
language. This is just an initiative and the hope is to attract people
that would like to contribute to the effort and also assist in guiding
the direction of the development of such software.
This is a free event held on Sept. 14, 2006 in Bethesda, Maryland
(Washington DC area). Space is limited to the first 30 to register, so
if interested please do so early.
For further details including how to register please see the following
link.

Thank you and apologies for the off-topic post, but I felt this might be
of interest to some of the many great UseRs.

Cheers,

-Mat
