RTA is also meeting for a social lunch today out in RTP. I'm going. It you don't mind co-mingling with R and SAS people, it's a great opportunity to just hang out with data scientists are hear about what people are doing, some of whom even do it with Python. :) http://www.meetup.com/Research-Triangle-Analysts/events/229417644/ -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway, Applications Analyst UNC Renaissance Computing Institute 100 Europa Drive, Suite 540, Chapel Hill, NC 27517 (919) 599-3530 From cbc at unc.edu Fri Apr 1 09:07:05 2016 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2016 09:07:05 -0400 Subject: [TriPython] RTA All Graphs Are Wrong, But Some Are Useful at RENCI April 19 In-Reply-To: <56FE6FD3.5040407@unc.edu> References: <56FE6FD3.5040407@unc.edu> Message-ID: <56FE7279.4020801@unc.edu> On 4/1/16 8:55 AM, Chris Calloway wrote: > Hey gang, because we just heard about graphs from James and because > Research Triangle Analysts (RTA) are cross-promoting our events, here's > an RTA graph presentation happening at RENCI in just a little over two > weeks from now. Well, daggonit, scientific jargon isn't applied very consistently. The "graph" in the talk title does not refer to networks of nodes and edges. I'm watching a video of the talk that was given at the JMP Discovery Summit last fall. The "graph" in the talk title refers to data visualizations in the form of graphs, as you understood the word in junior high math class. Sorry about the misdirection. But this talk still looks really good and of interest to TriPython.

Thanks, Andrea. This is perfectly on topic. Many Python FOSS GIS tools are discussed at FOSS4G. It's a conference I've wanted to go to for at least 10 years. I'll may be able to go if I can get one of the limited availability "non-corporate" passes. Past FOSS4G events have had specific Python tracks and tutorials.

It will deploy it in a Docker container and host it. So it's interactive instead of static like NBViewer. Seems more useful than JupyterHub. It's free and open source. HHMI intends to continue to host it. Or you can grab the source. It pip or conda installs any requirements you have beyond scientific Python and can attach PostGres and Spark services. Killer app. The initial commit was less than a year ago on the first day of the SciPy Conference. My boss just told me about it. Nothing was said about it at SciPy last year.

Charlotte already answered this as well as can be answered. I'd like to add that elements in lists, tuples, and dictionary item values (not the keys, however), can be *any arbitrary* Python data type including tuples, lists, dictionaries, functions, and even instances of your own classes. Really, anything Python object. If those elements are themselves containers, such as lists, tuples, or dictionaries, then those elements themselves can also further nest more container elements. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway, Applications Analyst UNC Renaissance Computing Institute 100 Europa Drive, Suite 540, Chapel Hill, NC 27517 (919) 599-3530 From cbc at unc.edu Tue Apr 26 11:33:44 2016 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 11:33:44 -0400 Subject: [TriPython] Reminder: TriPython April 2016 Meeting: Splitsville: News from the World of Regular Expressions In-Reply-To: <56FA97D2.3090404@unc.edu> References: <56FA97D2.3090404@unc.edu> Message-ID: <571F8A58.5000409@unc.edu> Reminder that Rex Dwyer presents the regex module this Thursday at RENCI.

PyData conferences have featured top leaders of Python data science projects and PyData Carolinas will be no exception. PyData conferences promote diversity in the Python data science community and are governed by an inclusive code of conduct: http://pydata.org/carolinas2016/about/code-of-conduct/ PyData Carolinas will take place Wednesday through Friday, September 14-16 at the IBM RTP Activity Center with a conference capacity of 400 attendees. The first day features 12 tutorials in three tracks. The following two days feature keynotes, lightning talks, and 30 session talks in three tracks. The event is fully catered and will have two evening social events in downtown Durham. PyData Carolinas is organized by TriPython, PyLadies RDU, Research Triangle Analysts, Analytics.Club Raleigh, the NCSU Institute for Advanced Analytics, the UNC Renaissance Computing Institute, Research Triangle Institute, MaxPoint, MediaMath, the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau, DataCrunch Lab, Fidelity Investments, and Bull City Coworking. Sponsors to date include IBM, Continuum Analytics, the National Consortium for Data Science, and Issuer Direct Corporation. You can add your company to that list. I'm calling on TriPython members for four actions in conjunction with PyData Carolinas: sponsor, propose, register, and volunteer. Sponsor - PyData Carolinas is produced under the auspices of NumFOCUS (http://numfocus.org), a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation which sponsors the Python scientific stack, the Julia language, and some R tools. That's the same NumFOCUS that sent our own Luke Campagnola to the SciPy Conference last year which greatly influenced the future of matplotlib. All proceeds from PyData Carolinas go to support the work of NumFOCUS from which we all benefit. We need sponsors. You can see a list of sponsor benefits at: http://pydata.org/carolinas2016/sponsors/benefits/ You can do more than attend this conference. You can get your employer to be a sponsor of PyData Carolinas and get free conference passes with your sponsorship. If you are interested in sponsoring PyData Carolinas, please contact: sponsorship at pydatacarolinas.org Interested community groups (Triangle Julia User Group, I'm looking at you) may also support PyData Carolinas as community sponsors. Propose - You can be a speaker at PyData Carolinas. Proposals for talks and tutorials are being accepted now at: http://pydata.org/carolinas2016/cfp/ Proposals are review by a panel of experts. Accepted speakers will be among the finest company in the Python data science community. And speakers attend PyData Carolinas for free! Register - Early bird registration is open now: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/pydata-carolinas-2016-tickets-24406547641 Space is limited and this event will sell out. So reserve your spot now. Early bird ends one week after the conference program is fully published and who know when that will be. Maybe soon. :) Early bird registration fees are: All three days (limited to 190), tutorials and talks, September 14-16 Academic - $150 Individual - $275 Start-up - $325 Corporate - $375 Two talk days only (limited to 400), September 15-16 Academic - $100 Individual - $225 Start-up - $275 Corporate - $325 One day tutorial only (limited to 190), September 14 All levels: $100 Volunteer - You can help. All kinds of help are needed. At the conference we will need to man the registration table, assist with the exhibit hall, provide session chairs, post greeters, and many other tasks. Write the committee co-chairs for volunteering your interests: sponsorship at pydatacarolinas.org (organizes sponsorships) communications at pydatacarolinas.org (manages social media) diversity at pydatacarolinas.org (scholarships and COC enforcement) hospitality at pydatacarolinas.org (hotels, transportation, social events) operations at pydatacarolinas.org (volunteers at the conference) production at pydatacarolinas.org (printed matter, signage, t-shirts) program at pydatacarolinas.org (proposal evaluation and program schedule) audiovisual at pydatacarolinas.org (AV reinforcement and recording liaison) This is the biggest deal TriPython has ever been involved in to date and I'm very excited about it. I hope you will participate and experience the excitement for yourself. Because TriPython is so important to PyData Carolinas, you are the first organization to get this written announcement. (It has been very softly released for about two weeks now.) -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway, Applications Analyst UNC Renaissance Computing Institute 100 Europa Drive, Suite 540, Chapel Hill, NC 27517 (919) 599-3530 From rex.dwyer at att.net Fri Apr 29 18:00:54 2016 From: rex.dwyer at att.net (Rex Dwyer) Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 18:00:54 -0400 Subject: [TriPython] Last night's talk / Looking for work In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Everyone, Thanks to all who came to my talk last night.

I have a PhD in Computer Science from CMU as well as an MS in Economics from UNC-CH.? As Chris mentioned last night, I was a professor at NCSU for 13 years, and did bioinformatics at Syngenta for roughly the same amount of time.? Since I was laid off at Syngenta last year, I've taken about a dozen Coursera courses on big data, machine learning, natural language processing, etc., and am currently calling myself a data scientist.? However, I'm a great programmer in a number of languages and still love to write code. My LinkedIn references say that first and foremost, I am a problem solver. if anybody has any openings or leads, I'll be really grateful to hear about them. Thanks again for the chance to talk last night.
