[Spedas-list] Two upcoming SPEDAS Webex presentations

[Jim Lewis]

The SPEDAS development team would like to invite you to participate in
two Webex presentations we'll be holding later this month.

On August 24, at 10am Pacific time, we'll be hosting a tutorial,
live demo, and Q & A session on the SPEDAS software package and
its capabilities.

The following week, August 31 at 10am Pacific, we'll be hosting
another session focusing on using SPEDAS to analyze MMS data.
The MMS session will assume some familiarity with SPEDAS, so
those who haven't used SPEDAS before might want to consider
participating in both sessions.

If there are any particular questions or topics of general interest
that you'd like to see covered in either session, please send
your suggestions to Jim Lewis, jwl at ssl.berkeley.edu, and we'll
try to work them in.

See below for agendas and Webex connection info.

Cheers,

-- Jim Lewis
