Python Leiden User Group sixth meeting
Technolab, Bètaplein 28, 2321 KS, Leiden, NLCome join our community of people interested in and working with the Python programming language. We meet up in the city of Leiden, The Netherlands. Exchange experiences and learn from others on the topic of the most popular programming language!
We meet up once every two months. The meetups are low profile, not commercial, and open to both professionals and enthusiasts.
At this meeting, we have three talks planned:
Talk 1: Python and MongoDB, a perfect marriage
by Mathijs GaastraIn this talk, Mathijs will share his experiences using Python with MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database. He will discuss the advantages of using MongoDB for certain types of applications, and how Python's flexibility and ease of use make it a great fit for working with MongoDB.
Talk 2: Deploying Python apps to your own infra with Github Actions
by Michiel Beijen
A demonstration on how to do easy CI/CD with Github Actions on your own infrastructureTalk 3: Identifying “blast beats” in music using Python
by Lino Mediavilla
Blast beats are a type of drum beat originating in hardcore punk and grindcore music, and are now commonly used in extreme metal genres such as death metal and black metal.
In this talk, Lino will discuss how he & his group of friends used Python to create the Blast Beat Counter to analyze audio recordings and identify instances of blast beats. This involves Python, spectogram analysis, beautiful visualizations and some music!Meeting format
Our meetings will have presentations with room for discussion, and we will make sure there's also opportunity to meet and get to know your fellow group members.About our meetups
Our talks happen in a friendly and informal setting. They are a great way to learn new things, share your knowledge, and meet other Python enthusiasts. There is always room for questions and discussion. Our presentations and talks are in English to be accessible for the large amount of non-Dutch speakers in the Python community.Call for talks
We'd invite you to propose a talk for a future meeting. Talks can be short or longer, they can include a live demo or a hands-on lab. It does not matter if you're not a highly experienced speaker. Meetup groups like this are great for building out your skills.Meeting venue
Our meeting will take place at the “Technolab”, an organization that offers science education for children and teenagers. We’ll be using the big meeting room, while the people from “The Space Leiden”, a local hacker/makerspace, will also be present in the building. The Space will be open starting 19:00.The Technolab is located in the building above the Plus supermarket (Bètaplein 28). Go up the steps on the left side of the supermarket building to the first level, enter the door marked "Technolab" in front of you and follow the directions. This is a 5 minute walk from the Leiden Lammenschans railway station. It’s also easily reachable by bus.
If you travel by car, the best place to park your car is at Parking Leiden Lammenschans which is located in the basement of the building where Technolab is. Parking costs around €2 per hour.13 attendees
