   Thanks for coordinating this.

        Hi everyone:
        With inspiration from Tiago Mendes, we've decided to run TriPython
     meetups
        online, with the first meeting Thursday August 27th at 6pm.  Each
     meeting
        has one 'featured' speaker who gives a talk on a topic of their
     choice for
        30+ minutes, followed by short lightning talks from the audience.
        We are still in need of a featured speaker for our inaugural
     quarantine
        Tripython meetup!
        Please don't feel like it has to be a super polished presentation on
     a
        package you wrote from scratch . It can just be your first thoughts
     on
        some useful things you have learned about a third-party package that
     you
        have incorporated into some code. For instance:

          * Are you working a site using Django 3.0? What is that like?
          * Did you create a simple gui to make it easier for people to
     interface
            with your back end?
          * Have you started using holoviews or bokeh, and can explain some
     basic
            concepts about how they work vs matplotlib?
          * Have you recently switched from numpy to pandas for your analysis
     (or
            vice versa)?

        Issues like this are really interesting, practical, and often
     translate
        into usable code or practical knowledge for people.
        If you have anything like this you think you might want to present,
     or
        even if you are not sure and just want to chat about it, please
     contact me
        or Chris Calloway ([2]cbc at unc.edu). I think we can have a vibrant
     online
        TriPython meetup -- quarantine style -- going forward!
        Thanks again to Tiago Mendes for encouraging this move 🙂
        Best,
        Eric

        Hi, TriPython. Eric and I discussed rebooting fourth Thursday
     TriPython
        meetings using RENCI's Zoom (we have an unlimited license). We also
        discussed doing it every other month to interleave with the
        every-other-month PyData Triangle meetings. And we discussed having
     those
        meetings start at 6pm instead of 7pm since cross-Triangle travel to a
        meeting site will not be involved.

        So, consider this a call for speakers. If you would like to the
     featured
        speaker for an online meeting on Thursday, August 27 at 6pm, please
     speak
        up on this list. We will also have lightning talks. And with this
     much
        notice, we ought to have some really good lightning talks. Maybe also
        signal your intention to give a lightning talk (let's say 7 minutes)
     as it
        will be harder to recognize volunteers for lightning talks at an
     online
        meeting. That way, we can have a queue of lightning talkers ready to
     go.
