Hi All,

We are considering  re-starting regular events for the Ottawa-Gatineau R User's Group and we hoped to get your input -- 

To help us get a feel for the level of interest, could you send a quick note if you would be interested in participating in regular User's Group meetings? 
As well, if you have a special area of interest or if you'd be willing to make a brief presentation to the user's group, please do let me know.

Depending on the level of interest, we'd take next steps, which might involve finding a sponsor, a location to meet and organizing regular presentations. 
As appropriate, I'll summarize the feedback received to the mailing list.

Thanks, 
David

I'd attend.

On a topic of interes, I've been thinking through R vs Python since
talking with a fellow at Bloomberg who tells me they mostly use
Python, and only some R. The two are optimized for different contexts.
It would be useful to discuss that, I reckon.

Hi David,

I would be interested in attending. I can present on a number of topics 
- R Markdown reports, Emacs/ESS, ordination and clustering. I can 
probably also round up other interested users at Ag Canada, some of whom 
are quite expert at using R with sequence/genomics data.

Best,

Tyler
