I am trying to organize a R User Group for Germany (Southwest) with meetings in Mannheim or Heidelberg, maybe also Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Frankfurt (later).
I just created an initial group collaboration site at http://rug-sw.qlubb.com/public. To join this group click on the button "Request to join this Qlubb" at the upper right of the page (Joining may take a while as it has to be manually approved, sorry).
Please join or leave your address even if you're not from the exact region. Maybe you will find other people from your region this way.

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 [email protected]

Aloha,
We're looking to start an R UseR GRoup in Hawai'i (HI,USA). Most users I know are on Maui, but perhaps we can begin with a distributed group via e-conferencing to include persons on all islands. I can organize space at my research department, which is mostly focused on wildlife, but we'd welcome persons and perspectives from many other disciplines. Please contact robertrankin AT pacificwhale DOT org.
Mahalo,

I am interested in starting an Predictive Modelling Group in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Though primarily directed towards R users, I would like to keep it open to other software such as SAS, Statistica, and programming languages such as C#.
Although we are wedged between the Cincinnati and the Philidelphia groups, I am curious (and hopeful) that there may be a small local community interested in gathering and swapping ideas. It would be open to all and should cater to the corporate and academic communities alike.
Email me at [email protected] if interested!

One professor said he wanted to create an R course, but later rejected the notion, citing his relative inexperience with it.
On the good side, when I turned in my assignments, no professors could ever nitpick my code.
