Paul Gilbert and I set up R-UG-Ottawa list and took over OGRUG from Joseph Potvin a few years ago, intending to pass off to someone younger and more active. So far that hasn't happened. Maybe it's time to think of some meetup to try to kickstart the transition? John Nash

My name is Chunyun and I have been using R for the past three years, most recently completed my PhD thesis using R. Long story short, I am writing to you today to seek advice/collaboration on how to promote R in our city. I recently designed and delivered a series of workshops on introduction to R. My audience consisted of a professor from Carleton University and her lab members. The experience really inspired me to consider repeating it again, perhaps even on a larger scale. I looked up examples from other communities and found a couple prominent ones such as the coding club <https://ourcodingclub.github.io/> at University of Edinburgh and data carpentry <https://datacarpentry.org/>. If you are also excited by this short introduction and would like to chat more, let's meet in person! I am currently working as a postdoc at Carleton University and can meet you in the evenings on weekdays or during weekends. Best wishes, Chunyun [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ R-UG-Ottawa mailing list R-UG-Ottawa at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-ug-ottawa ------------------------------ End of R-UG-Ottawa Digest, Vol 44, Issue 1 ******************************************
