What we’re about

ODSC brings together the open source and data science communities with the goal of helping its members learn, connect and grow.
The focus of this Meetup group is to allow ODSC to work with Meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations to present informative lectures, workshops, code sprints and networking events to help grow the use of open source languages and tools within the data science and data-centric community. As such, our specific goals are:

1. Build a collaborative group to work with other Meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations.

2. Promote the use of open source languages and tools amongst data scientists and others.

3. Host educational workshops.

4. Spread awareness of new open source languages and tools that can be used in data science.

5. Contribute back to the open source community.

Who is this meetup for?

• Data engineers, analysts, scientists, and other practitioners

• R, Python and other software engineers who work with data or want to learn

• Data visualization developers and designers

• Non-technical team leads, executives, and other decision makers from data centric startups and large companies looking to utilize open source tools

Abstracts:

Visualizing video game telemetry without breaking the bank

Games generate massive data streams, and many game studios rely on Kafka to ingest it. Cost is a limiting factor on the granularity of data they can collect, but more data leads to better decision making and a better player experience. Replacing traditional kafka with Confluent Freight clusters will reduce the cost of telemetry ingestion and still allow Studios to use downstream tools, like Elastic Cloud, to work with the data in near real time. Attendees will learn about the integration of Elastic Cloud and Confluent Freight, as well as gain some insights into what makes their favorite games come to life.

MCP: The Missing Piece in AI Agent Workflows

The AI landscape is exploding, with agents poised to revolutionize industries. But there's a critical missing piece hindering their true potential: a chaotic tangle of uncoordinated actions, opaque decision-making, and frustrating bottlenecks. Enter MCP (Modular Control Plane) – the groundbreaking solution you've been waiting for!
This isn't just another framework; MCP is the dynamic brain that brings order to the AI agent revolution. Imagine seamless orchestration of diverse AI models, lightning-fast task execution, and crystal-clear visibility into every decision. MCP delivers just that, empowering your AI agents to move beyond simple tasks and tackle complex, real-world challenges with unprecedented efficiency and reliability. Get ready to supercharge your AI workflows and unleash a new era of intelligent automation – because with MCP, the future of AI is now!

Automating Synthetic Monitoring with Warp, Gemini & MCP

This talk will guide you through the process of creating an application that automatically generates playwright browser tests for use with Elastic Synthetics, as well as explore the opportunities and challenges of developing with MCP. You will learn how, using MCP, you can create a plugin for Warp (an AI-assisted terminal) that will allow you to quickly create browser tests in minutes.
