Monthly Demo Day 2022-12-15

[mrocklin]

Announcement

We're cancelling this month's demo day due to the holidays

Before

Our last demo day was a great success #286 ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x7oaSEJDjA&t=17s&ab_channel=Dask

We'd love to repeat this great success, now with more demos!

When

Thursday, December 15th, at 10am US Central time (meeting invite below and also on the Dask calendar)

Context

I'd like to solicit 5-10 minute demos that show off ongoing or lesser known work. I hope to have 3-5 of these during the meeting. Meetings will be recorded and advertised on social. Hopefully this helps to educate folks on some of the great work people are up to.

If you're interested please respond to this issue with a brief (a couple sentences) description. If you have colleagues who you think should be interested please let them know.

Agenda

• Running many large xgboost.dask queries on many Dask clusters in parallel: @mrocklin
• Parallelizing FTP downloads from a janky government server: @phobson
• Configurable Dataframe backends : @rjzamora
• .
• .

If there aren't enough spaces then I'll talk through GIL measurement

Throwing my hat in the ring to demo what it looks like to convert an embarrassingly parallel and messy data transfer/parse text/dataframe/insights work flow to using dask.

[jrbourbeau]

Just checking in here, @mrocklin @phobson @rjzamora I see you three are currently on the agenda. Are things still good to go for this Thursday? Are there other folks who would also like to present?

[mrocklin]

Ah! I had totally forgotten about this. Thank you for the reminder James!

I'll try to drum up a couple of other speakers. Anyone have any recommendations for people that we could pester?

[rjzamora]

I'll be happy to give a demo on backend creation dispatching, as long as it's okay that I keep the "presentation" bar low :)

[mrocklin]

Hooray for a low bar!

I too should be ready to present a janky workflow made faster with dask

[mrocklin]

Due to the holidays I'm inclined to delay this until next month. Any objections?

[jrbourbeau]

No objection from me

[mrocklin]

I've removed the event from the calendar and updated the opening comment here to say that this is cancelled. I'll also show up in the meeting for the first ten minutes and explain to any folks who show up (unless someone else wants to volunteer to do this)

[jrbourbeau]

Just seeing there's a demo day scheduled for tomorrow. Are folks still up for presenting? (sorry, should have looked ahead a bit more on my calendar)

[mrocklin]

I totally forgot about this. I think that we should delete the event. I'll go ahead with this if no one yells at me in the next hour or so

Are all future demo days cancelled?

Just this month's. My apologies
