Python Ireland meetup

Talk 1: How to contribute to the Python.ie website by Diarmuid Bourke (30mins)

Did you know python.ie is open source? View on github (https://github.com/PythonIreland/website)

In this talk I will be discussing the various reasons for getting involved with the development of the website, how beginners and seasoned developers can contribute to the codebase, design and content of the site.

I will cover the various platforms and technologies that it's built upon and the list of ideas we have for new features and improvements.

Talk 2: Building data pipelines with Luigi by Nicolas Laurance (40mins)

"The purpose of Luigi is to address all the plumbing typically associated with long-running batch processes. You want to chain many tasks, automate them, and failures will happen. These tasks can be anything, but are typically long running things like Hadoop (http://hadoop.apache.org/) jobs, dumping data to/from databases, running machine learning algorithms, or anything else."

I will show the principle of building a data pipeline with luigi, and share my recent experience with this tool. Hopefully attendance will have an overview to decide whether this tool can be helpful for their day to day batch treatments.
