[Python Edinburgh] pandas/numpy/scipy/pyspark/R/spark/etc 'data science' group?

[Magnus Hagdorn]

Hi all,
I am sure there will be interest from people at the University too - in
my school (School of GeoSciences) we have many people using python/R to
do all sorts of processing. I'd be interested in attending such a
meeting. I will also advertise at work.
Cheers
magnus
