Information will be provided to those who RSVP** Every Wednesday evening, the Secular Community Network of CFIC Ottawa will host lightly moderated informal discussions on topics of interest to freethinkers, humanists, and to others who are secular. Feel free to bring suggestions for topics - the group will vote on which topics will be discussed. Some topics we have discussed in the past (and may return to): Religion/Philosophy/Atheism/Humanism * How do you define Humanism? Do you consider yourself to be a Humanist? * How do you define "secular"? Given your definition, what percentage of the Canadian population do you estimate as "secular"? * How does one become a Freethinker? Through genetics, physiology, experience? What distinguishes Freethinkers from conformists or indoctrinees? Science: Physical & Social * How much science is behind what is sold in health food stores? * What are the most important social impacts of the “anti-vaccination” movement? Current Events: * the state of governments in Canada, the US, and the rest of the world * Climate change * migration Non-Religious Lifestyles * If you have no religion, from where do you get moral guidance, social values, and a sense of belonging to a community that would help you in problems of living? Chat West participants should feel free to suggest their own discussion topics from these categories. If you wish to attend, please RSVP in advance. Note that we have changed the access method to remove the waiting room, so a password is now required to join the meeting. If you RSVP, the Zoom link (including password) will be provided to you. For the transition period, I will also make it available here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/606150474?pwd=OUxSL2pWUVlBYzVHcCtRN09Ha0VJQT09

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
