Dear All,
This is a final reminder to register for the hands-on Open Source Geospatial Software introductory masterclass running on the 17/18th November 08 @ The Postgraduate Statistics Centre, Lancaster University.
This is a great opportunity to learn about the leading-edge free and open-source technologies for desktop and web based mapping and data analysis.
For statisticians working with geographical data, this is a chance to see how open-source software is changing the way we map. We show how to combine the well-known statistical package R with free mapping solutions to produce novel analysis tools and interactive web-based maps.
The course is spread over two days, with three speakers and plenty of refreshments and lunch. This is a great opportunity to visit the NEW state-of-the-art Postgraduate Statistics Centre (Centre of Excellence for Teaching and Learning) where we run regular short courses, professional development courses and masterclasses on a wide variety of topics for statisticians.
