Monday office hour

Online event

**Primero la charla**
En tiempos de IA, los aceleradores hardware van a ser más necesarios que nunca. Desde GPUs hasta módulos como Coral, estos dispositivos proporcionan un extra de potencia a nuestro ordenador. En esta charla exploraremos cómo, utilizando Python, enviar y recibir datos a los aceleradores hardware a través de la interfaz PCI Express. Se abordará tanto la detección de estos por parte del sistema operativo, la asignación de direcciones de memoria y su control utilizando Python.

**Después conocerse**
Tras la charla os invitamos a quedaros un poco más para conocer a los miembros de la comunidad y hacer un poco de networking.

Aceleradores hardware o como dar alas a tu script de Python

C/Guillem de Castro 9,

Welcome Pythonistas!

This month, we’re diving into marimo, a modern take on jupyter notebooks. We’ll explore how it works, keeps your code clear, and simplifies the deployment and github commit history.

We meet monthly for good discussion and Python shenanigans. You can show off a project you're working on or any problems that we can help solve. We're always looking for people to give lightning, beginner, and skill-based talks. Message us if you're interested in speaking!

You can watch our past meetings at watch.pyorl.org

See you all there 😃

Marimo: Next Generation Notebooks

**Workshop**
During this workshop, you will learn how to leverage the ScaleDown Python package to optimize AI prompts, reduce token usage, and minimize your AI applications' carbon footprint.
We'll explore practical techniques for creating structured templates, implementing model-specific optimizations, and measuring environmental impact. You'll gain hands-on experience with the package's key features while understanding how even small efficiency improvements can lead to significant cost savings and environmental benefits when adopted at scale.

18:30 - Introductions
18:35 - Workshop
19:55 - Closing remarks and announcements

ScaleDown: Optimize AI prompts to reduce verbosity and carbon footprint

Hi PyLadies Berlin! In this event, we will be talking about the end of Windows 10 and what that means for many people with Windows machines. We have three speakers from KDE sharing different aspects of the [https://endof10.org/](https://endof10.org/) campaign and how KDE are supporting folks to use their machines longer!

The talk evening will be held in person at Ecosia.org (which will sponsor vegetarian and vegan food and drinks) and online via our YouTube Channel. There will also be a workshop held the same week to help folks convert their windows 10 device to a linux machine and prologue its usage - keep an eye out on our slack for details! 🌟

Workshop sign up: https://www.meetup.com/pyladies-berlin/events/308461732

**💡 Nicole - Opt Green - End of Windows 10**
The most environmentally friendly device is the one you already own!

Windows 10 security updates end on 14 October 2025, which is KDE's 29th birthday and also, ironically, International E-Waste Day (you cannot make these things up!).

Hundreds of millions of functioning devices will become e-waste, disposed of in large part in countries in the Global South. Moreover, this means manufacturing and transporting new ones, perhaps the biggest waste of all: hardware production alone can account for over 75% of a device's CO2 emissions over its lifespan.

In this talk, Nicole will discuss the environmental impact of proprietary software, why a Linux Operating System could be a solution and where you can get help if you decide to switch.

**Level:** Everyone

**[✨](https://emojipedia.org/sparkles/) Nicolas Fella (he/him) - Python for KDE Applications**
The KDE community has been producing free software for almost 30 years. This does not only include the Plasma desktop environment but hundreds of applications. Virtually all of these applications are written in C++. As part of the "Streamlined Application Development Experience" initiative we want to open the door to include other programming languages as well.

In this talk we are going to look at the recent work on enabling writing KDE applications using Python, how to do it, and how to get involved with improving the support for it.

**Level:** Intermediate Developer (but may have limited experience in Python)

**[✨](https://emojipedia.org/sparkles/) Oreoluwa (she) - Emulating User Actions with the Python-based Tool KdeGuiTest**
In this workshop, Oreoluwa will walk us through KdeGuiTest, an open-source automation tool used to emulate user interaction with different software applications. KdeGuiTest (previously called KdeEcoTest) is an automation and testing tool which allows one to record and simulate user interactions with the GUI of an application. It is being developed as part of the KDE Eco initiative to create usage scenario scripts for measuring the energy consumption of software.

1\. A demo of the tool
2\. Explanation of the technologies involved and how it is implemented
3\. Issues faced while debugging and improving the tool\.
4\. A call to contribute to the community\.

**Level:** Beginner to programming

👩‍💻 Oreoluwa is a data scientist and open source enthusiast. She has an interest in data and AI and has worked with python to analyse data, build machine learning models and develop graphical user interface for better user experience. She has participated in various hackathons helping her hone her skills in data science and finetuning of large language models to solve real world problems and create innovative solutions.

🌱 **Our Host** Ecosia.org

Ecosia is a search engine for a better planet, putting 100% of its profits into climate initiatives -- making everyday actions like searching the web a personal choice for a better planet!
