In my last post, I’d pointed out the importance of a local community and described how Delhi NCR useR group came about. It’s been a month since we’d started the group and I’m excited to announce that our first meetup is scheduled to take place on 14th July 2018, i.e. upcoming Saturday. Venue for the event is SocialCops headquarters in Saket, New Delhi. As a budding community, support from established organizations is a big boost, and we’re grateful to SocialCops for coming onboard as mentors and venue partners.
Event details can be found on meetup and you can RSVP .

In addition to providing an opportunity to interact with fellow community members, the meetup will also feature sessions by members from the R community. For this meetup, we’ve sessions from two exciting speakers lined up.
Our first session would be an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Prof. Deepayan Sarkar of Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi. He’s one of 20 R-core members and author of the lattice package.
