Hi gang.
So I'm actually carrying through on the threat I made a couple of months
back, and helping to start a local users group for the NYC Metropolitan
area. Here's a copy of the announcement of our introductory / planning
meeting, I also can send a flyer version of this to anyone who wants (Open
Office document, should be viewable in MS-Office). Please feel free to
attend, invite friends and colleagues, and spread the word around. Thanks!

If you don't already use R, you could (should!) start today download R
for free from the official R Project website (http://www.r-project.org/).
The R Project site contains a wealth of resources for users, including FAQ
pages, a user Wiki, Help List / newsgroup, book suggestions, etc. There
is already an active R / S / S-Plus user community online, but nothing
compares with having live presentations, forums, & workshops you'll see!
