Open Online Data Meetup [Project outcomes for community]

[katoss]

Hey,

CorrelAid has a format called Open Online Data Meetup, where we are invited to present aspects of our project, if we'd like to share something.

What is the Open Online Data Meetup?

• an online-based meetup series which provides space to share interesting and entertaining stories from the field of data science with other people from the community
• open format: from short lightning talks to longer workshops, from technical over use-case oriented topics
• main target group are the correlaid netword and other volunteers, but can be open for NPOs etc

See their youtube channel for past events (I just saw that there is a recording of a meetup on mobility where @mpadge presented :))

So, if you think this might be interesting, if you have any ideas for content, or would like to contribute in any way, please comment here! This could be a great opportunity if you're interested in practicing how to prepare and present data science-related content to a target audience (and of course anyone will get support, especially if this is new for you).

A topic idea from Frie was giving a workshop on dvc, as that could be interesting for many volunteers. But also more use-case oriented topics are possible of course :)

Oh wow the sessions are really long! I think a dvc workshop would be cool but it is really simple to use, so I would guess 20 to 30 min tops! 😅

It would also be cool to present our product in this meetup, at the end of the project :)

As far as I understood the format of the meetups is free for us to determine, so we can do a shorter session if we want :) maybe a combined session -- first we present the project, then those who are interested can stay for a dvc workshop, could be an idea too. We can chat with frie and isabel about that later on :)
