We are an association that promotes knowledge sharing and the use of open source tools in Italy. As a part of our activities, together with other people (scholars, consultants, R-lovers and so on), we are setting up a R-user group in Italy. Our headquarter is located in Padova, where also the University (Department of Statistical Sciences) mantains a CRAN Mirror. Our initial aims are : - to promote the use of R across public institutions, private companies and no-profit organisations - to collect and disseminate R materials (primers, tutorials, lectures) through our website for making them immediately available to different communities - to organise events and lectures to spread R use across our territory
Everyone who is interested in joining and helping us is really welcome.
You can contact us at info@rante.org

Anyone interested in setting up a group in Amsterdam? The city harbours two large research-oriented universities (and many more in nearby cities), numerous banks and other multi-national companies—there ought to be lots going on to build a R-community here. Feel free to reach me at “r DOT premraj AT gmail DOT com”.
Cheers. Rahul Premraj
