[R] R User Group mailing list

[John C Nash]

Here in Canada's capital we have set up the Ottawa-Gatineau R Users 
Group (OGRUG) and are wondering how we can get a special interest group 
(sig) mailing list established linked to the R-project site. We 
understand that there may be other RUGs out there, so maybe such a list 
should be something like R-rug-Ottawa, allowing for similar names for 
other lists around the world. This could help to advertise that there 
are users of R in different locations and bring folk into the community. 
We don't anticipate a lot of traffic, but want to allow people to add 
their names to receive announcements of meetings etc. We're looking at 
about four events a year, with some announcements of sister activities 
by local statistical or similar groups.

Essentially the query is "Who do I contact?" to set this up. We are, of 
course, happy to offer to administer such a RUG list, and hopefully help 
by being among the leading "rug-rats" with suggestions and documentation 
on ideas that have worked in getting our group going.

Cheers,

John Nash
