Almost all programming languages have an awesome linklist with all important content for the language and ecosystem.
The SAS programming language now has one, too. You're welcome 🙂

Nice! Forgive my ignorance, would it be reasonable to add a section listing links to regional and local user group pages? If so, happy to work on a PR...

@AndreasMenrath

Thank you for putting this together and sharing it with the rest of the community.

I have one suggestion though, as much as it pains me to say, but sadly all LexJansen links are "Invalid" now, so you may want to comment them out or hide them till further notice 😣
The community have lost a great champion and person!

The loss of Lex (and lexjansen.com) is a huge loss for the global SAS community. I have heard that there are efforts to reestablish lexjansen.com (working with his family), and also efforts to build new indices of user group papers (while honoring Lex's legacy). Looking forward to seeing the next generation of the amazing resource Lex built.

@AhmedAl_Attar
Thank you for bringing that topic to my attention.

Yes, this is a tragic loss. I marked the links as striked through text. Maybe someone might still get the site from an internet archive.

I really hope that SAS or someone else is working on a platform for hosting the conference papers as a replacement.
