Insightful will come in and give a company presentation. Who wants to volunteer to come into my company and demo R for my manager? I only learned about R a year ago when a friend of mine told me about it. The real question is, how to get more exposuRe?
The other real question is "Why?". I can see the motivation of people who want to use R and need to convince their management that it is safe, but inflicting R on people who haven't heard of it and are perfectly happy that way seems unnecessary. What would be the benefit?
Of course, it follows from the assumption of perfect happiness without R that there's no point in forcibly selling R to them. I suspect that the salesforces behind commercial software are not exclusively driven by such reason, however... Best regards, Jan
