[R-sig-Geo] R Spatial workshops, San Francisco and Bergen

[Roger Bivand]

There will be a workshop on: "Analyzing Spatial Data with R" at the 2007 
meeting of the AAG (Association of American Geographers), April 17, 
1300-1600, San Francisco, CA (USA). Details are to be found on the meeting 
website:

http://www.aag.org/annualmeetings/SF2007/workshops.cfm

I will be at the AAG meeting for the whole period, and would welcome the 
opportunity to meet users of R for spatial data, and participants in this 
community. Meeting users directly has often been of great help in getting 
fresh ideas and useful experiences. 

The AAG workshop will be repeated at the Nordic Geographers Meeting in 
Bergen, 15-17 June, workshop date not yet fixed.

The NGM workshop page has a deadline that is not relevant, please just get 
in touch if the workshop in Bergen is of interest.

Best wishes,

Roger

(PS. The workshops will follow the format of last year's workshops in 
Vienna at useR06, in Tokyo at ISM, and at Lausanne at FOSS4G, as well as 
Edzer Pebesma's eSeminar in December).

(PPS. Although both workshops presuppose meeting registration, I trust 
that security will be absent - although as participants at Vienna will 
recall, a fire-extinguisher used to keep the door open to let some air 
in, did cause some friction with an official!).
