[Insight-users] Wrapping R with SimpleITK

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

This is great there is so much interest in R with SimpleITK!

We have a weekly TCON on SimpleITK wednesdays at 9:30am. I think that it would be best if those interested in R and SimpleITK could all get together to discuss what needs to be done to fully support R. This week we need to focus on resolving some issues before the release scheduled for next week. 

So I'd like to propose that we have a TCON next Wednesday on R and  SimpleITK. Please let me know if this time will work for you.

Brad
