Are you looking to expand your GIS skills? At the end of May, I'm running a GIS course specifically designed for social science researchers, in partnership with NCRM. This isn't a generic GIS course ? it's built around the questions you actually need to answer and the data you actually work with, with an opportunity to ask me specifically about your work. Advanced R for Spatial Analysis and Statistics You'll cover: - Advanced spatial analysis techniques - Research-grade modelling and hypothesis testing - Introduction to the fundamentals of Spatial Statistics - Hands-on practice with GeoDa and R for spatial data analysis Why This Course Works Differently ? Practical outcomes: You'll leave with skills you can immediately apply to your own projects ? Supportive environment: Small cohorts, plenty of Q&A time, no assumption that you're already technical ? Open source tools: Learn GeoDa, R & RStudio ? free, powerful, and used by researchers worldwide ?Nice balance of theory and practice. Also useful to learn what to look for if things go wrong. Content was flexible to include what might be useful for our work.? Vickie, Analyst, Public Health Wales "Clear & exceptionally well-paced, with lots of opportunities to delve into the excellent support materials."

If you have completed my?Introduction to Spatial Data & Using R as a GIS course (https://nickbearman.com/training-courses.html#introduction-to-spatial-data-using-r-as-a-gis), or have similar knowledge already, this is sufficient. Any questions about whether the course is for you? Please email me and I'm happy to help you choose the right starting point. Looking forward to helping you in your GIS journey.

Thanks everyone for your support! -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: GeoServer 3.0-RC is here, a personal thank you Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:31:50 +0200 From: Simone Giannecchini To: Simone Giannecchini Dear all, I wanted to reach out to you personally on behalf of the entire GeoServer 3 team, to share an important update, in case this went unnoticed on your side: GeoServer 3.0-RC is now available. This release candidate is the concrete result of the crowdfunding campaign you supported. Your contribution made it possible to move GeoServer 3 from a plan into a modernized platform, with a new user experience, a Jakarta/Spring-based stack, ImageN raster processing, stronger security, and a clean upgrade path from 2.28.x. It is released together with GeoTools 35-RC and GeoWebCache 2.0-RC, making this a full ecosystem milestone. You can download GeoServer 3.0-RC directly from https://geoserver.org/release/3.0-RC/, or try it immediately with Docker: ? ? docker run -p 8080:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:3.0-RC If you have the chance, your real-world testing at this stage would be genuinely valuable, especially on upgrade workflows, the new UI, and Tomcat 11 / Jetty 12 deployments. Feedback can be shared on the specific GeoServer Discourse thread. For a more detailed overview of the release and the journey from campaign to RC, I invite you to read our blog post. Thank you again for believing in this work and for being part of it. Simone Giannecchini == Online training classes for GeoNode, GeoServer and MapStore from the experts!
