R help - Jul 2008 - Interest in a Use R Group in San Francisco area?

All,

Tuesday week (July 15th) Mike Driscoll & I will be presenting
"A Gentle Introduction to R and its Applications in Business
Intelligence" at the SDForum Business Intelligence SIG in Palo Alto,
California.

One motivation is to judge interest in starting a Use R Group in the
Bay Area. We will have an informal organizational meeting after the
talk.

We hope all local R "groupies" can make it. If you can't and are
interested in a user group dedicated to all aspects of R, please email
Mike or me.

For details see link

And, if you are doing some interesting business intelligence related
work in R, we would love to mention it in the survey part of the talk.

Best,
Jim Porzak

R "groupies" in San Francisco?

I have this mental image of a bunch of geeks dressed in tie-dyed shirts, 
jeans and sandals, sitting on the corner of Haight-Ashbury listening to 
the Grateful Dead while coding on their laptops.

;-)

Good luck with the meeting Jim!  See you in Dortmund.

Regards,

Marc
