From jeffrey.fischer at gmail.com Mon Apr 5 13:03:37 2021 From: jeffrey.fischer at gmail.com (Jeff Fischer) Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2021 10:03:37 -0700 Subject: [Baypiggies] Looking for speakers for our April 22 meeting Message-ID: Hi everyone, We currently do not have any speakers for this month's meeting. If you are interested in giving a talk, please send me an email or fill out this form: https://forms.gle/t6PtAqqVDewtT8cP8 This is a great opportunity to practice your public speaking -- you can give a lightning talk as short as five minutes. Or, if you have a project you want to talk about, you can give a standard talk (30 minutes). We are looking for technical talks with a Python focus, either about the language and core libraries itself, popular libraries/platforms using Python (for example Pandas, Flask, BeautifulSoup, etc.), or other experiences using Python. See the list of past meetings at https://baypiggies.net/category/meetings.html to get a sense of topics. As our participants are using their personal time for these meetings, we request that talks are inclusive and not overly commercial, political, etc. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks, The BayPiggies Organizers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is a free web directory of popular data science and big data projects. It covers over 100 projects, including the most popular Python projects in this space, such as Sklearn, Pandas, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Dask. I first announced this at the March BayPiggies meeting, but today is the official "go-live" date. We've added a few enhancements and projects since March. We still would very much appreciate any feedback you might have. If you have feedback, you can send me a direct email or use this Google Form . Thanks! Regards, Jeff P.S. We are still looking for speakers for our April meeting. Don't be shy! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He is a professional in the fields of DevOps, Bioinformatics, and Web Technologies. *Introduction to PyMC3* PyMC3 is a python package for Bayesian statistical modeling and probabilistic machine learning. In this session, we will go over the background of Bayesian statistics and introduction into using the PyMC3 package for such scenarios. Moreover, we will discuss what is coming up in the probabilistic programming ecosystem. *Speaker Bio: Raul Maldonado* Raul is a Data Analyst residing in San Francisco, CA. He specializes in SQL Python, BI, and other related responsibilities. Additionally, he spends his time creating technical side-projects and volunteering in the intersection of Data and Technology/Coding. *Code of Conduct* https://baypiggies.net/pages/code_of_conduct.html Interactions online have less nuance than in-person interactions. Please be Open, Considerate and Respectful. Also, please refrain from discussing topics unrelated to the Python community or the technical content of the meeting. *RSVP* We will conduct the meeting via Zoom webinar. Please register in advance at the following link: https://stanford.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dY1QrH76QWG9EfeXN3NX9A It would also be helpful if you responded on our Meetup page for the event: https://www.meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/events/277180364/ Hope to see you there! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
