rencontres R à Lyon, 27-28 juin 2013

Simon Barthelmé just sent me the announcement that the next French R conference (Rencontres R) will be in Lyon, on June 27-28, 2013, and that the call for propositions is now open. (No possible confusion with MCMSki IV: the later is not in Lyon but Chamonix, not in June but January, and not only about R—even though there will be a session!—but about all computational aspects of statistics, well mostly MCMC!)

actually, I would prefer RencontreR..!

yeah I’d thought about it, but that “R” is mute in French. Annoying.

no, it works: it reads both as Rencontre R because of the capital letter and as rencontrer, i.e. to meet, so it offers a nice double meaning to the logo (sorry if this sounds like overselling my weak and now useless pun…!)
