[OGRUG] Thinking of starting a useR group in Toronto

[Paul Gilbert]

Kelvin

In the beginning there were a few of us that knew one another and agreed 
to get together. We advertised on R-help, and asked people to spread the 
word to anyone they knew in the area that might not read r-help. For 
some time there was considerable effort by one individual (Joseph 
Potvin) to get things going. (So I warn you that there may be some 
effort involved.)

There are now some helpful resources available, for example the R SIG 
list for users' groups. John Nash can probably say more about this.

Good luck getting your group going.
