[R-SIG-Finance] One week to R/Finance

[Brian G. Peterson]

We have a little over a week left till R/Finance Chicago, and it is
shaping up to be a full house as usual.  There is still a little room
left in all of the optional pre-conference seminars, so I expect those
to fill up soon.

Details and registration are in the links below.  
Looking forward to meeting you in Chicago,

 - Brian
