I thank the @RConsortium and @linuxfoundation for their support in making useR! 2022 possible.
#useR2022 could not have happened without the events team @LinuxFoundation. The organizing committee worked with them to coordinate registration, the virtual event platform & accounting. Members of the LF team include Deb Giles (lead), Nicole Blessing, Ashlee Carlson... (1/2)
