R-SIG-RUGs -- starting/organizing a R Users Group
About R-SIG-RUGs	English (USA)
R User Groups (RUG) has proved a valuable resource for R users from the beginner to the very expert in learning, sharing knowledge and experience, or just having fun with others alike. Usually this is achieved via RUG meetings which provide a venue for both formal talks (lectures) and networking opportunities. To make these benefits available to as many R users as possible, this list provides help for those interested in organizing a R users group. If there is no R Users Group in your local area, why not start one? This list is primarily for you, you can ask tips here from those who have already started and are organizing one. This list also aims to promote collaboration between existing R user groups. We invite all RUG organizers to participate in the discussions on how to develop your group and how to collaborate with other groups in order to better serve the R community. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the R-SIG-RUGs Archives.
