At the JSM 2011 conference in Miami on Monday, August 1, Revolution Analytics will be hosting a cocktail reception for R users, and anyone interested in R. From 5:30-7:30 at Emeril's Miami Beach House (in the JSM host hotel), we'll have appetizers, drinks, and the opportunity to socialize with R users from around the word. There will also be a drawing for door prizes, including an iPad 2 (in Revolution Orange, natch). Entry is free, but you'll need to pick up a flyer from the Revolution booth in the exhibit hall, or print one from the Revolution website. I look forward to seeing you there!

What scientific method and what data have you used for guesstimating the "over 2 million users"?

Rumor says the probability for a useR to post a comment on the Revolution blog is less than one in a million, so...

@Martin, it's an estimate based on the size of the market for analytical software, and R's market share and growth in comparison to other software. It includes academic users. It would be a good topic for a blog post one day...
