R Lightning Talks

Happy new yeaR everyone. 2011 was a great year for the DC-R group, and our membership has more than doubled. We started the year with about 200 and are just shy of the 500 mark, hooray!

We have a lot of great ideas for this year and want to get the members more involved. Let's kick-off 2012 with a set of lightning talks to explore different topics in R:
