[R-sig-Geo] Course announcement: Geostatistics & Open-source statistical computing

[Tomislav Hengl]

Hi David,

If this can be of any help, at GEOSTAT we started recording/broadcasting 
all lectures (this was an excellent idea of Ralf Schäfer and his team at 
Landau). We used the software called Team Viewer 
(http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/tv6.aspx). The result was pretty 
good:

*as far as I remember, we did not even buy any license. You only need 1 
extra PC, a web-cam and a wireless mic. This is really a minor 
investment all together.

At the next GEOSTAT summer school we will try even harder to provide 
high quality broadcast (and public access of course).

(and thanks for preparing all those materials - I did already hear many 
good stories about your course).

cheers,

T. Hengl
