<div dir="ltr"><p>Apologies for cross-posting:</p><p>We are pleased to announce: <strong>R</strong><strong>egistration open now for two Summer Schools</strong> organized by <a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net/" target="_blank">www.spatial-ecology.net</a> held at the University of Basilicata, Matera, Italy:</p><p><em><strong>- Spatio-Temporal Data Analyses Using Free and Open Source Software</strong> </em><em><em>(6th-10th June 2016)</em></em></p><p><em>An
immersion 5 day experience opening new horizons on the use of the vast
potentials of the Linux environment and the command line approach to
process data using Bash, AWK, Python, GRASS, QGIS, GDAL/OGR, R, PKtools,
Openforis. </em><em>We will guide newbies who have never used a command
line terminal to a stage which will allow them to understand and use
very advanced open source data processing routines. Our focus is to
enhance the approach of self-learning allowing participants to keep on
progressing and updating their skills in a continuously evolving
technological environment.</em></p><p><em>----------------------------------------------------</em></p><p><strong><em>- Hands-on Open Source Drone Mapping and High Performance Computing for Big Geo-Data </em></strong><em>(13th-17th June 2016)</em></p><p><em>Another
5 day immersion experience on advanced data processing using high
performance computers (HPC) and emerging technologies such as drone
mapping, rasdaman (Fastest Array Database on Earth) and cloud computing.
We provide a walk-through journey from the introduction of Linux
operating system and different open source software (Python, GRASS,
GDAL/OGR, R, PKtools, Openforis) to capturing data out in the field
using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, to complex image processing and data
analyses. We focus on how maximising computation performance using
multicore on single computer, switching to distributed clusters of
computers (using grid engine scheduler) and ultimately data analytics
with cutting edge rasdaman software (Big Data Analytics Server).</em></p><p><br>More information and registrations:<br></p><p><a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net/upcoming-events" target="_blank">www.spatial-ecology.net/upcoming-events</a></p><p><a href="http://www.spatial-ecology.net/upcoming-events" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/spatialecology </a>> see events <br></p><a href="mailto:info@spatial-ecology.net" target="_blank">info@spatial-ecology.net</a><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Giuseppe Amatulli, Ph.D.
