Standard introductory presentation
You could do much worse than Bill Venables' short course presentation given at UseR 2012. Keep up the good work! Michael

Hi Everyone In the Contributed Documentation part of the R Project website there are dozens of various documents explaining this and that on R. Furthermore there is also the document "Introduction to R". In my thesis I have been using R here and there, so I would classify myself as an intermediate user after about 3 years of using it, but I am in no sense a professional. I am now on a guest research trip to another University, and there a few people have asked me to "spread the word", hinting even at me giving a presentation on R and the blessings it brings. I feel mightily uncomfortable with that, but what the heck. I have been now looking for an "official Introduction to R" in Presentation Format, but lo, there isn't one. There are a few tutorials on the web, but none are really a classical introduction. I have no bad conscience about taking a premade presentation by someone else (and yes, in todays context of plagiarised, fully citing them etc.), knowing that it is actually well designed to present R and doesn't talk gibberish, The closest I found was by Tyler K. Perrachione from MIT, which I think I might use if push comes to shove, but I wanted to ask whether anyone of you knows of a "official version" by one of the Core Project members ?
