Topic: Where are we going with R?

This meeting is intended to bring together existing and new members of
OGRUG and to explore the types of work they are doing with R, such as,
- graphical tools, e.g., lattice
- high performance or parallel R
- specialized user interfaces

We had hoped to have Bryan Lewis join us, but recent changes at
Revolution Computing have put this in doubt. These developments may also
serve to prompt discussion over support for R and specialized tools for R.

UseR2010 has been announced. It will be in the Washington DC area late
July 2010. Some members of the group have been to UseR in the past and
can provide background information.

Feel free to pass this to colleagues who might be interested. There is
no charge for this event.
