=======
Important: please note these meetings are now regularly on the 4th Thursday of each month and we're seeking speakers for the next 6 events. Further details have been pinned in the #wellington channel of the Ruby NZ Slack (http://slack.ruby.nz/).

We've lined up the following talks:

Mai Nguyen
Food, Wine and Machine Learning: Teaching a Bot to Taste
To use machine learning effectively, you have to understand its strengths, limitations and look for creative ways to apply it. Even if you are already familiar with machine learning, we can all learn more! Let me show you how I have used machine learning to build a bot that can suggest a wine to accompany your next meal.

Please get in touch if you'd like to present something, we've had a wide variety of topics and presenters in the past, so don't feel shy!

Best place is via the slack group (details a bit further down) and send @four_seven a message (that's me!).

Doors open at 5:30pm with talks starting at 6:00pm. We'll break for pizza and chatting/networking after the 1st talk.

Please join us in the Ruby NZ Slack

Lots of us are hanging out there, you can get an invite from the official Ruby NZ (http://ruby.nz/) site here (http://slack.ruby.nz/). Don't forgot to join the #wellington channel too as that's were any discussion and announcement about this meetup occurs.

Sponsorship
