[TriPython] Reminder: TriPython October 2016 Meeting: Engineering a Robust(ish) Data Pipeline with Luigi and AWS Elastic Map Reduce

[Chris Calloway]

Meeting on Thursday. Moved this month from fourth to third Thursday to 
avoid collision with ATO. After-party will be at Sheraton across the 
street as Baileys has going out of business.

There's also an RTA meeting at RENCI tonight that might be of interest 
to you: https://www.meetup.com/Research-Triangle-Analysts/events/234615472/
