#########################################

This is the second meetup from the Julia User Group Munich. Thanks everyone for kicking off Julia User Group Munich with me last time!

This meetup series targets everyone just interested Julia, as well as enthusiasts who may already work on their own libraries. If you are new to Julia and curious about what it can do what Python or R cannot, feel heartily welcome to join! This meetup is for you. If you want to present your own Julia package, get some feedback on it, talk about a detail you love, or get more hands-on on a concrete part ofJulia, this meetup is also for you. Everyone feel welcome!

Let's create a solid community, building up a support network, and going to spread Julia more and more into the Munich Data Science world.
