SF: May

[erickt]

Potentially:

@alevy on Tock @johanneskoester on rust-bio

[erickt]

@AtheMathmo: Would you be interested in speaking about rusty-machine for the May meetup?

[erickt]

May would work for @dherman. How does Thursday, May 19 look for everyone?

@AtheMathmo: I might need to bump you to June.

[AtheMathmo]

@erickt Very interested in speaking. Either May or June would work for me - let me know :)

[alevy]

Later in May (say, the following week) or first two weeks of June would be much better for me if possible.

[erickt]

How would a tentative June 2nd work for you all?

[AtheMathmo]

I have family visiting and they will be flying back on the 2nd - not sure on the time yet. It may work out fine but I'll have to confirm in a couple days.

[johanneskoester]

For me it would work, although I would prefer a few days later to be honest. But I can make it if it is the best date for the rest.

[alevy]

June 2nd works for me, as does any day until June 14th or so.

[erickt]

We might be able to do the following week, so Thursday June 9th if that would work better for everyone. @brson: can we get the room reserved for that day?

[erickt]

Hello @brson / @alevy / @johannesskoester / @AtheMathmo: it seems like our window is closing for early June. How does the end of June look? Say June 23rd?

[johanneskoester]

Works for me!

[AtheMathmo]

Yup, June 23rd looks good for me. Thanks for organizing this Erick!

[alevy]

Folks, sorry, I have to be out of the country at the end of June. It looks like I might have to regrettably bow out. Sorry!

[alevy]

To clarify, if we can do the first half of June I would love to, but I obviously understand there are other constraints y'all have to abide by.

[AtheMathmo]

@erickt do we have any updates on this? I'm still very keen to talk!

[erickt]

@AtheMathmo: great! I'm waiting to hear back on the room, but I really want to get this to happen.

@alevy: how does your July / August look?

[erickt]

Well June never happened, so lets try for July. @alevy / @brson / @johanneskoester: how does Thursday July 28th look for everyone?

[johanneskoester]

Works for me. @erickt, thanks for your continuous effort to organize this!!

[AtheMathmo]

Good for me too. Thanks @erickt !

[brson]

@erickt I've booked the room and airmo support for July 28.

[erickt]

\o/ Lets do this! @johanneskoester and @AtheMathmo, can you give me a brief description of your talk? @alevy: please let me know if you can participate locally or remotely!

[AtheMathmo]

@erickt Awesome! I'm happy to put together a brief description but would also like to put together a survey like I saw someone else do before. As I'll be talking about some quite domain specific stuff it would be good to know how much people want me to go into specifics. Are you happy for me to do that?

[alevy]

Looks like I actually might be able to do it locally

[erickt]

@alevy: wonderful!

@AtheMathmo: sure! That happened in this meetup: http://www.meetup.com/Rust-Bay-Area/events/230271083/. Feel free to just point me to your survey and I'll add it to the announcement.

[AtheMathmo]

@erickt - Thanks for the link.

Here's the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1vECiA0OXlBUCs-O94-dIzuIDKSf_cfpQ-AFD7_te7h4/viewform

And for a brief description:

Rusty-machine - Writing a machine learning library in Rust that works out-of-the-box.

Wasn't sure how brief to be... Let me know if I should say more.

[erickt]

Meetup has been announced!: http://www.meetup.com/Rust-Bay-Area/events/232406852/

[AtheMathmo]

Thanks @erickt ! Would you mind adding the survey too? I want to make sure I bore the audience as little as possible :)

Really looking forward to seeing you all there!

[alevy]

@erickt great! How long should we plan our talks for?

[erickt]

@alevy: we typically go up to about an hour and a half, but we can do 2 hours. So I'd aim for about 30 minutes, but let me know if you need more.

[alevy]

Also, would it be possible to switch around the order of the talks? I'll be coming up from Mountain View that evening, and should be able to make it on time, but just in case... If it's possible to just play it by ear, that's fine with me too. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[erickt]

@alevy: shuffled! @AtheMathmo and @johanneskoester, how are you on the ordering?

[AtheMathmo]

@erickt: Fine by me. Thanks for adding the survey too!

[erickt]

@AtheMathmo: sorry I left it off at first!

[johanneskoester]

@erickt: Any ordering is ok!

[johanneskoester]

@erickt since I won't be there in person, how will I be able to present technically? Is the remote functionality for https://slides.com ok for you? I would basically control a presentation in your browser from here. I only need a way to transfer my speech to you (e.g. via skype or hangout?).

[erickt]

Hello everyone! @AtheMathmo / @alevy / @johanneskoester: You all ready for tomorrow? Anything I can help out with?

@johanneskoester: I'll reach out to you offline on getting things set up. Let me know if you don't get my email.

[AtheMathmo]

@erickt As ready as can be! I have the slides posted up here

If it wont be possible to access them let me know and I'll to figure something else out.. Looking forward to seeing you all!

[alevy]

I just have to cut down a 1 hour talk to 30 minutes - in other words improve it. But otherwise set!
