R User Group Birmingham Alabama

I would like to start a R user group in Birmingham, Alabama.  Please comment if anyone is interested.  I’m thinking I will host in Google Groups, since meetup costs money.  Let me know if I should use some other site.

  1. Great idea! If you're looking for some tips on setting up an R group I've published some here:

    Meetup.com does cost money, but in my experience new groups that use it have better luck building traction than those that don't. And a sponsorship from Revolution can help with the cost:

    Hope this helps!
