[R-sig-Geo] Reminder useR! 2013: call for tutorials

[Virgilio Gómez-Rubio]

Dear all,

This is a reminder that the deadline for proposing a tutorial for 
useR! 2013 is this Friday (see below). We'd love to have some tutorials 
on spatial data analysis and/or spatial statistics.

Best,

Virgilio

We are pleased to announce that the R user conference

   useR! 2013

is scheduled for July 10-12, 2013, and will take place at the
University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain.

As for the predecessor conferences, the program will consist of two
parts: invited lectures and user-contributed sessions (abstract
submission will be available soon). Prior to the
conference, there will be tutorials on R (proposals for tutorials should
be sent before December 15, 2012, see below).

CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS

María Jesús Bayarri, José Manuel Benítez-Sánchez, Havard Rue, Steve
Scott and Hadley Wickham

USER-CONTRIBUTED SESSIONS

The conference will feature both talks and posters illustrating the use
of R in practice. Contributions are welcome that introduce recent
developments in the R Project (including CRAN packages), demonstrate
applications of R in areas of current interest, or otherwise engage and
inspire participants in their use of R.

PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIALS

Before the official program, half-day tutorials will be offered on
Tuesday, July 9.

We invite R users to submit proposals for three hour tutorials on
special topics regarding R. The proposals should give a brief
description of the tutorial, including goals, detailed outline,
justification of why the tutorial is important, background knowledge
required and potential attendees. The proposals should be sent before
December 15, 2012 to useR-2013_at_R-project.org.

A web page offering more information on the `useR!' conference is
