[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

On behalf of the R/Finance 2010 committee, we are happy to announce the
availability of presentations from the 2nd annual R/Finance conference in
Chicago.

This year's two-day conference attracted well over 200 participants from
across the globe. Academics, students and industry professionals enjoyed more
than 20 talks covering trading, optimization, risk management --- all using
R! Many of these presentations are now available for download at:latest

In addition to the program, we would like to pass along notes from two of our
core sponsors.  Revolution Analytics and OneMarketData have been kind enough
to provide information that may be of interest to those who were not able to
talk with them on-site.

On behalf of the  committee and our sponsors, we thank you  for making 2010 a
success!

See you again in 2011!
