The SciPy conference is taking place from July 11-17! For those attending, there are some sessions/events that Pangeo folks might be interested in joining! I’ll start this discussion with one, but please add more relevant events in this thread!

Pangeo Community Gathering (Birds of a Feather session)
Friday, July 15 at 5:40 - 6:40pm
Time for the Pangeo community to come together and discuss the short- and long-term goals for the Pangeo community, as well as a time to meet Pangeo folks! We also plan to organize a group dinner/social outing immediately after this session (details will be shared closer to the time).

Woohoo it’ll be great to see some Pangeo folks!

You might be interested in the other tutorial I’m running, it’s going to be a gentle introduction to using GPUs with Numba, Cupy and cuDF. These tools should slot quite nicely into existing work if you’re interested in dipping your toes into accelerated computing in Python and have the hardware.

GPU development with Python 101 (Jacob Tomlinson, Charles Blackmon-Luca)
Tutorial, Tuesday, July 12, 1:30 - 5:30 pm

An easy option, while not the most exciting one, would be to go to the Scholz Beer Garten again (the SciPy reception will be held there on Wednesday). Advantages are that it’s close to the ATT Center, can accommodate pretty much any size we are likely to have without reservation, and the menu is decent. But certainly welcome to other suggestions!

That sounds great to me Rich!

I agree, the Scholz Biergarten looks great, Rich! The one downside is that it closes at 8pm. By the time we finish the BoF and get ourselves there it will probably be 7pm or a little after, which doesn’t leave much time for socializing.

But happy to head to Scholz initially and then we can self organize any later plans.

Also during the Wednesday Earth/Ocean/Geo mini-symposium, I’ll be presenting Project Pythia: A Community-built Training Resource for the Geoscientific Python Software Ecosystem. Several of us from the Pythia team will be in Austin as well! Looking forward to catching up with the Pangeo folks!
