Blaze is a pythonic interface to multiple back ends. http://blaze.pydata.org/en/latest/ Ibis (http://www.ibis-project.org ) has recently come on the scene and there's some overlap with Blaze. At first, Ibis seemed to be targeted at Cloudera's Impala, but support for more back ends has been announced. https://github.com/cloudera/ibis/pull/585 Although Blaze has been around for awhile, i don't think it has a lot of traction yet. Ibis has Cloudera and Wes McKinney (original author of pandas) behind it. Should be interesting to watch these two projects progress From jeffh at dundeemt.com Mon Sep 7 17:08:19 2015 From: jeffh at dundeemt.com (Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T) Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 10:08:19 -0500 Subject: [omaha] Head Hunters ... Message-ID: Currently we have an unwritten rule that we don't let recruiters post job announcements to the list. Does the group have any desire to change or refine this unwritten rule? In the past, if a recruiter hit up a member and the job was really a Python job and local'ish the member could, on their discretion, post the details. Good manners would suggest a subject of "[ANN] Job Posting". -- Best, Jeff Hinrichs 402.218.1473 From hubert.hickman at gmail.com Mon Sep 7 17:40:53 2015 From: hubert.hickman at gmail.com (Hubert Hickman) Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 10:40:53 -0500 Subject: [omaha] September meeting details Message-ID: I've posted them to TechOmaha - let me know if there are more details to add.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Adam: Bylaws - nope. I believe us to be a meritocracy and encourage it at all times. Those who step up and do, lead. There are no official positions or office holders. Meetings and talks are based on group vote. Where we meet is at the mercy and benevolence of members who arrange for or offer up a space. Using this approach, we have not had an incident to my knowledge. You have been to the meetings and on the list, I've not seen even a list posting of questionable content. Even on technical topics, I've not heard anyone say something disparaging. Being exclusionary, dismissive or patronizing is not in the best interest of growing our community. However, if there is a consensus of active members to create such a thing this would be the forum to get the ball rolling. On Mon, Sep 7, 2015 at 6:42 PM, Adam Shaver via Omaha wrote: > I agree.

Two things I want to check up on: I'll be bringing a Chromebook (it's my only laptop) for the presentation. I'll only be using a browser and SSH, but the Chromebook only has an HDMI out -- is that going to work to hook up for the presentation? As a backup, and maybe I'm just over-worrying, do you have a backup laptop with a browser and SSH I can hook up, in case I spill a drink on my laptop in the next two hours?
