As I mentioned last week, I will be hosting videos of several of the keynote speakers from this year’s useR! 2010 conference at the video Rchive. As it happens, the first video I was able to upload was the panel discussion we held on starting local R user groups. I have uploaded the video, which is also embedded below (after the jump).
I was joined on the panel by an illustrious assembly of R community members, which included:
- Jim Porzak—San Francisco Bay Area
- David Smith—REvolution Analytics
- John C. Nash—Ottawa, Canada
- Szilard Pafka—Los Angeles
- Marck Vaisman—DC Metro
- JD Long—Chicago

Since I couldn’t attend the meeting, I appreciate being able to view the talk. I am building an R-user group with fellow employees at work.

Thanks Drew. Great talk.
An R Users group is just starting up in my neighbourhood (Melbourne). The talk’s given me lots of good ideas.
