[R] Any useR conference in US in YR2008

[Bill.Venables at csiro.au]

Apropos this issue, the R Foundation has had an offer to host useR 2009
from a European based group rather than a North American based one.  My
understanding is that no decision has yet been taken, though.  If other
groups had an interest in hosting useR 2009, it might not be a bad idea
to register that interest fairly soon.

There was a suggestion that alternating between the North America and
Europe would be a good idea, but I don't know if this is a cosy
understanding of what would be nice, or a reasonably firm policy
decision.  (I'm also not sure in which camp little places like Brazil,
New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, India, ..., would fit in this
rather occidental view of the world, too.  :-)

None sponsored by the R Foundation.

There may be others, offered by the various companies who offer R/S-PLUS
training. They do periodically post e-mails about them on these lists.

Regards,

Marc
