Qiskit DemoDays

The Qiskit DemoDay is a recorded, monthly, open, and public meeting with fellow Qiskit developers.

The general agenda consist of ~3 demos. Each demo (including QA) should be around 15 mins and could be about:

work-in-progress or recently-merged PRs wit features/bugfixes/improvements
demos on Qiskit-related software, including general views or specific features/improvements.
providers or services with some Qiskit integration.
general discussion on specific topics or news that could affect the general Qiskit developer community.

Consider these meetings are:

recorded: the meeting will be recorded and published in here.
monthly: the meeting happens every second Thursday of the month.
open: all the developers in all the Qiskit ecosystem are invited to present, including non-IBMers.
public: All the information presented and discussed should be publicly publishable.

The link with the recording is usually posted in the next days after. The password for each video is DemodayYYYYMMDD, where YYYY, MM, and DD is respectively the year, month, and day of the DemoDay. The links expire after a year.

If you would like to participate, connect at the designated date to https://ibm.biz/qiskitdemoday (password: QiskitDemoDay!) at 3pm UTC. You can also subscribe your calendar to this and all the Qiskit events.

Do you have something to demo? A Qiskit Ecosystem project? A PR with a nice fix, feature or performance improvement? An interesting use-case? Contact Luciano via slack or email and get a slot in the agenda.
