[R] 10% off Intro R training from RStudio: NYC May 13-14, SF May 20-21

[Hadley Wickham]

Hi Bert,

We are following the mailing list guidelines to the best of our
knowledge (e.g.
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-development-master-class-NYC-Dec-12-13-td4037031.html#a4038699).
It's our belief (as shared by others) that advertising our courses
falls under the general aegis of helping people learn R.

Our goal is for RStudio to be a net positive to R the community. We
support the R foundation, R user groups, do a lot of teaching for
free, and develop a lot of open-source software like the RStudio IDE,
shiny, ggplot2 and devtools. Public courses help fuel our development
and hence benefit the R community.
