PyData Helsinki will meet at **UpCloud**'s office! Schedule: 16:30 Doors open 17:00 Welcome words from **UpCloud** 17:10 **Seija Sirkiä**: *NPS - Not Proper (data) Science?* 17:40 **Touko Väänänen**: *Choosing projects under uncertain preferences for impacts* 18:10 Break — food, drinks, networking 18:45 **PyData Helsinki** **quiz** 19:00 **Alexander Kevin Gilbert**: *Learning Data Engineering (not) from scratch* 19:30 End of programme 20:00 Continue at a nearby bar Talks: * **[Seija Sirkiä](https://www.linkedin.com/in/seija/)**: *NPS - Not Proper (data) Science?* Everybody agrees that Net Promoter Score is not quite as magical as it's made to sound like, but there's still plenty you can do with that data. In this talk I will show what I learned about that while working at HappySignals, including a model that cleans the scores of subgroup effects, such as culture/country. * **[Touko Väänänen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/touko-v%C3%A4%C3%A4n%C3%A4nen-89150114a)**: *Choosing projects under uncertain preferences for impacts* Many choice situations involve choosing a subset of possible projects with several types of impacts. Choosing between the projects introduces trade-offs between the impacts that decision makers disagree about. I present a framework which helps in assessing robust projects that would be chosen with many preferences over the impacts. * **[Alexander Kevin Gilbert](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-kevin-gilbert-2449b5237/)**: *Learning Data Engineering (not) from scratch* A PhD in physics and big data analysis experience at CERN might seem irrelevant when applying for a data engineering job, as the tools are completely different. But the two worlds are more connected than they appear. Join me as I explore those connections and share what I've learned along the way.

Learning Finnish in Finland can be difficult because Finns tend to switch to English. That is one of the reasons people like our Finnish language café: you get to practice Finnish with Finns :) The events are completely free and there is always a native speaker to facilitate the conversation and to help find the right words. The coffee is good too ☕😋🇦🇹 Tervetuloa!

Most people agree that causing unnecessary suffering to animals is wrong. But beyond that, there is surprisingly little agreement. Do animals have rights, or only interests that humans should consider? Is it acceptable to eat animals? Use them in medical research? Keep them as pets? What, if anything, gives humans a higher moral status than other animals? Among other questions, we will consider: * Why is it wrong to kick a dog for fun? * If a trait gives humans a higher moral status than animals, what should we say about humans who lack that trait? * Should we intervene in nature to reduce animal suffering, or should we leave nature alone? * Is the capacity to suffer enough for moral consideration? * Would it be wrong to painlessly kill an animal that had a good life? * Do we owe more to our pets than to wild animals? Join us for an open and respectful discussion of one of the most enduring and challenging questions in ethics: what do we owe animals? Description by ChatGPT

**HOW TO FIND US** **Outdoors** ☀️🌻: We meet every Sunday at 15:00 in the Töölönlahti Park, opposite the entrance to Pikku-Finlandia. If you’re walking from Oodi, pass the playground with the big swings and the volleyball court. On the left, you’ll find us in the area with benches, hammocks, and yellow chairs. **Indoors** ⛈️ 🥶: When it's cold or rainy we move to the top floor of the Oodi Library, on the stairs opposite the children’s area. **To everyone who has already participated in our meetups:** We want to make it as easy as possible for newcomers to find us, whether we're meeting outdoors or indoors. If you have any suggestions for how we could improve these directions or make our meeting spots easier to find, we'd greatly appreciate a message. It's a good idea to **keep your sketchbook visible** so others can easily recognize that you're there for the sketching meetup. **HOW IT WORKS** At each meetup, attendees take turns being the model for a quick **10-minute sketch session**. One person poses, everyone else sketches, then we rotate. Attendance varies considerably from week to week. Some Sundays attract a larger group, while on others only a handful of people may attend. **Occasionally, nobody may show up at all.** The organizer is currently not based in Helsinki and does not attend the meetups, so the gathering is entirely community-driven. For this reason, we encourage everyone to participate with an open mind and flexible expectations. Whether you spend the afternoon sketching with many people, just a few, or simply enjoying some focused drawing time on your own, we hope you'll embrace the experience as it is. **WHAT TO BRING** Pencils and paper (or any sketching tools you like). It’s encouraged to bring some props to make drawings more varied and playful. 👘👒💐🍍🫖🏸🤿🎭🎺🔮🧸📣 No fees, no pressure. The only thing we ask is that everyone takes a turn posing for the group. You can sit however feels comfortable for you. We encourage people to experiment with different poses from round to round to keep the drawings interesting, but this isn't a yoga session - there's no expectation to do anything difficult or uncomfortable. ☺️ Draw as much as you like, skip a round if you're tired or just want to chat, and leave whenever it suits you. The event continues as long as there's interest. **STAYING CONNECTED** Anyone who has attended at least one meetup is welcome to join our WhatsApp group. If you’d like to be added, just ask around at the meetup - several community members can approve new participants, and there’s usually at least one of them present. Alternatively, send us a message with your phone number (including the country code) and a photo proving that you attended a meetup. This measure helps prevent spam and advertising in the WhatsApp group. **SOCIAL MEDIA** Curious about our work? 👉 instagram.com/sketchy.collective If you’d like to share your drawings from the meetup, you can send them on WhatsApp group or use the Instagram collab function. We warmly encourage everyone to share their work and take part in building our international sketching gallery - together with artists from all the cities where Sketchy Collective meetups are organized. **PHOTO CONSENT** Photos may be taken during the meetup and shared on our social media. If you don’t want to appear in photos, just let the photographer know. If you’re taking photos, please make sure people know about it and can choose whether they want to be included or not. **If you share a group photo in our WhatsApp group, we'll assume you've already checked that everyone in the photo is happy to be photographed and has agreed that the photo may be shared on our social media.**

You have to check this [sign-up page](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/social-game) to see if there is still a slot available there. * The background of using an external sign-up and payment system is because Meetup.com introduced a service fee to increase 21% of the fee in May 2023, and we want to reduce this cost. 【FEE and REFUND POLICY】 * Fee includes courts and plastic shuttles.

Please remember, the court booked for you was there and it costs money. The court doesn't simply become "free of charge", just because you didn't come to use it. 【COMMUNICATION】 * Communication: our whatsapp group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347) * There are too many spams, so I only accept +358 number to join whatsapp group.

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/ ======================================= A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
