March meetup

It's time for the most exciting time of the month: the Python Meetup Day!

As always, we'd like to invite everyone to join us for this month's meetup and chat about our favorite programming language in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Whether you're a beginner just discovering Python or you're an experienced programmer working in the industry for years, we hope to have something for you there.

Like last month, we're going to have three presentations with one of them being a 5-min lightning talk.

Our generous sponsor Buffered (https://buffered.com/) is offering a free drink to everyone so there's really no reason not to come.

Program:

18:00 - Doors open

18:30 - Welcome talk by Baptiste

18:45 - Julianna Göbölös-Szabó (https://twitter.com/gszjulcsi): Spark & Python (EN)

Apache Spark (https://spark.apache.org/) is the new cool thing in the world of big data, promising faster computation and better fit for iterative algorithm than the traditional map reduce paradigm. My team is about to introduce Spark to our big data technology stack at Prezi. In my presentation I will talk about my learnings about Spark using its Python API.

About Julcsi:

Julcsi is data backend engineer at Prezi. She studied mathematics at BUTE, then worked at Sztaki's Data Mining Group and finally ended up in Prezi's data infrastructure team.

19:15 - Nagy Richárd (https://twitter.com/nagyrichard89): (Lightning Talk) Using Blender and Python to create 3D geometry (EN)

I'm going to show how programming is always "behind the scenes" in creating 3D geometry, also some use cases of Python in Blender.

About Richárd:

I'm a multi-disciplinary engineer.
My previous projects include building a prototype motorcycle and creating 3D-printed sunglasses.

19:45 - Kovács Bálint (https://twitter.com/kovacsbalu): SIP signaling tester (HU)

VoIP hívások tesztelése python segítségével. Előadásomban szeretném bemutatni, hogyan lehet több hasznos eszközből egy rendszer átfogó tesztelését automatizálni pythonnal.

About Bálint:

Fejlesztőként dolgozom a Gamma-nál. Kezdetben egy IVR kezelő alkalmazást írtam, majd az egész rendszer automatizált funkció és teljesítmény tesztelését végeztem. Az utóbbi időben Continuous integration és Continuous delivery-vel foglalkozom.
