For this month's Meetup, we are partnering with **ERNI** to offer two sessions about: **Scaling Python Analysis with Apache Airflow** and **Stopping an Epidemic using the Atomica package**. \-\-\- Schedule: * 18:30: Welcome * ️ 18:45: Talks * **&** 19:45: Networking, food and drinks! * 21:00: Bye! \-\-\- * ➡️ **What:** From Scripts to Systems: Scaling Your Python Analysis with Apache Airflow * **Who**: Marc Gonzalez Planas * ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes * **Language**: English * **Abstract**: Data Analysts often face a "production wall" where local Python scripts struggle to meet the demands of a live environment. Moving from ad-hoc analysis to scalable data products requires a shift in focus toward governance, observability, and idempotency. Without proper orchestration, we can fail. Let's learn how to bridge that gap by refactoring standard Python scripts into automated pipelines using Apache Airflow. We will explore the transition to an "orchestration" mindset, focusing on how to use Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and the TaskFlow API to transform modular Python functions into a an automatic system. \-\-\-\- * ➡️ **What:** How to Stop an Epidemic using the Atomica Package * **Who**: Eloisa Pérez Bennetts * ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes * **Language**: English * **Abstract**: Infectious diseases are a major global health challenge, claiming over 13 million lives each year. Despite the availability of interventions – such as vaccination, testing and treatment – determining the most effective strategy can be challenging, as this depends on complex factors like outbreak severity, funding limitations and sociopolitical influences. Computational modelling offers a powerful tool to assess the potential outcomes of different public health responses, but the difficulty of building fit-for-purpose epidemiological models from scratch is a barrier to widespread use. Atomica, a Python-based open source simulation engine, addresses this challenge by simplifying the development of epidemiological models. It allows users to create highly configurable data-driven simulations that incorporate disease transmission, intervention strategies and budget constraints. With its user-friendly design and robust capabilities, Atomica allows us to forecast the potential consequences of public health strategies in specific settings. This insight enables policymakers and health organisations to make evidence-based choices, ultimately improving intervention effectiveness and saving lives. \-\-\-\- ➡️ Location: [ERNI, Edificio El Triangle, Pl. de Catalunya, 1-4, 3º planta, Módulo A y B,](https://www.google.es/maps/place/Erni+Consulting+Catalunya+SLU/@41.3861126,2.1667589,841m/data=!3m3!1e3!4b1!5s0x12a4a2f3f6878b3d:0x1d734cb8f654a540!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a292c30cca89:0x50852728a14da8e1!8m2!3d41.3861126!4d2.1693392!16s%2Fg%2F11bx456zz0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) [Eixample, 08002 Barcelona](https://www.google.es/maps/place/Erni+Consulting+Catalunya+SLU/@41.3861126,2.1667589,841m/data=!3m3!1e3!4b1!5s0x12a4a2f3f6878b3d:0x1d734cb8f654a540!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a292c30cca89:0x50852728a14da8e1!8m2!3d41.3861126!4d2.1693392!16s%2Fg%2F11bx456zz0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) \-\-\-\- ➡️ Access Control * The security access control requires an **attendee list** (full name) and a **means of identification** (DNI, NIE, passport) * ⚠️ Make sure you register for the event with your **full name** and **ID**.

Speaker: Utku Can Ozturk, Data Scientist and main developer of the Gigaspatial project Geospatial data is critical for global development, but practitioners constantly battle fragmented data, scaling issues, and complex integrations across vector and raster formats. Enter GigaSpatial, an open-source Python library built by UNICEF’s Giga initiative to help connect every school in the world to the internet. In this talk, we will explore the architecture behind GigaSpatial and how it replaces the need to stitch together a dozen different tools to answer a single spatial question. We will dive into how the library orchestrates data collection, transformation, and standardisation pipelines at scale. By leveraging strict configuration validation, object-oriented data connectors, and seamless multi-store management, GigaSpatial provides a unified API to wrangle spatial data. Finally, we’ll look at real-world applications across 30 countries, from validating point-of-interest data against multiple global building footprints to running zonal aggregations using different grid systems. Whether you are a data engineer, a GIS professional, or a Python developer interested in open-source architecture, you might find this talk an interesting look into how we build robust spatial pipelines; and we would love to explore ways you can contribute to this global mission. 📅 **Date:** 21 May ⏰ **Start time:** 19:00 h 📍 **Location:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

**🪷 Speed Dating Live on Zoom for Singles near Surrey** You get to cycle through rapid one-on-one Zoom dates with Surrey singles matched by age and personality, while the host manages transitions so you can focus on the person in front of you. As part of the process, a two-minute quiz captures your personality — those details are used to identify compatible Surrey singles for your rounds, so the format works harder than any dating app. Once it is wrapped up, we send mutual match results — with nothing shared unless both parties agreed — and you are in control of what happens next. **Your age group, your link:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Required step:** This rsvp does not equal a reserved seat, so select your age range link above, fill in the registration, and answer the personality quiz — capacity is intentionally small so get in early, and your place is confirmed only once you have done both. --- **Your evening, step by step** 1. **Claim your spot** – by tapping the link for your age group, then finish the compatibility quiz, as the quiz plus registration is what counts. 2. **Jump on Zoom** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, zero setup is required — just open the link, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely. 3. **Have your dates** – short one-on-one rounds with personality-matched Surrey locals in your group, as the host signals each transition calmly and clearly, and the people in your rounds were sorted specifically for you. 4. **Find your matches** – mutual matches are sent to you privately after the event ends, since non-mutual choices are never shared with either party, and once you have it you decide how and when to connect. **Who shows up:** - Members from Surrey bored of dating apps that go nowhere and want to meet real locals without the faff. - First-timers from around Surrey looking beyond the app treadmill that goes in circles and are serious about meeting someone. - Individuals across Surrey getting away from apps that waste evenings for no return and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Residents from around Surrey looking beyond swiping with nothing to show for it and prefer meeting people in person first. - Locals calling Surrey home getting away from dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression. **About the Event** - **Format:** Dedicated and hosted via Zoom with back-to-back private rounds per pair, sorted by personality quiz and age for every round. - **Where:** At-home — on any internet-connected device, no special equipment — just a device with a camera and internet, and couch desk or spare room are all equally valid spots. - **Host:** A supportive host guides every round from start to finish, so the evening runs without a hitch — not a single logistical thing is left for you to manage. - **Vibe:** Comfortable video rounds with Surrey singles who are here for the same reason you are, and the host keeps everything comfortable throughout. - **Duration:** Usually sixty to ninety minutes from round one onwards, though times can vary slightly. ⭐ *"Better than expected — way better than anything I have tried before"* – Surrey local, first event 💡 **Worth knowing:** put your phone on silent before joining, and the host takes care of everything else from there, since small prep leads to a noticeably better experience. --- ✨ Done with apps — start here — grab your place above before it goes and we sort the rest this time. See you in the first round. 💕 ✨

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBD

**💫 Speed Dating from Home for Vancouver People Done with Apps** Joining means you'll cycle through short private video dates with Vancouver singles age-grouped and personality-curated, while everything stays on track thanks to a live host. When you sign up, a personality questionnaire is built into the sign-up — that information feeds the matching to organise compatible Vancouver locals for your session, which makes every round worth having. After all the rounds, mutual connections are confirmed and shared — with privacy guaranteed for all non-mutual picks — and you take over from there entirely. **Click your age bracket to register:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ RSVP is not enough:** This rsvp alone will not confirm your attendance, so use your age group link above to register and complete the short personality quiz — spots are kept small by design so register promptly, and your seat is only secure once registration is complete. --- **How the night runs** 1. **Find your age group** – by selecting your age group and following the link, then fill in the personality questions as part of registration, as both are needed to secure your spot. 2. **Join the video call** – by clicking the Zoom invite at the event time, works anywhere with a camera and internet, and everything from that point is handled by the host. 3. **Connect** – live one-on-one video rounds with Vancouver people matched to you by age and quiz, as the host keeps everything smooth and well-timed, as each round is with a Vancouver local matched to your profile. 4. **Check your results** – after the event you will receive any mutual match details, with unmatched selections never disclosed to anyone, and you are in control of everything that happens next. **Who shows up:** - Professionals around Vancouver bored of profiles that never convert to actual dates and want to try something that actually works. - Those living in Vancouver looking beyond unread messages and dead-end conversations and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Someone within Vancouver ready to move past the app treadmill that goes in circles and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Locals based in Vancouver looking beyond digital dating that never converts to anything real and value real conversation over curated profiles. - Members across Vancouver who have had enough of conversations that fizzle before a first date and need a better way to meet people. **Event Overview** - **Format:** Dedicated and hosted over Zoom with back-to-back private rounds per pair, paired by age bracket and quiz results throughout. - **Where:** All online — from your laptop or mobile device, the only requirement is a device with a camera and internet, and you can join from wherever feels comfortable. - **Host:** An engaging host runs the session from the opening to the final round, which makes the whole thing feel effortless — the host owns the evening so you can simply enjoy it. - **Vibe:** Refreshingly easy individual rounds with Vancouver area people who prefer real conversation, and the conversation always feels more real than an app date. - **Duration:** Roughly an hour and a half including the welcome, and the format keeps things moving. 💡 **Useful tip:** close unnecessary browser tabs before the event, because background and lighting matter more than you would think, since small prep leads to a noticeably better experience. --- ✨ Vancouver singles worth meeting are in this event — book your spot above and we will set the rest up for you while places last. See you in the first round. 🥰 ✨

Can not wait to see you there. 💘 ✨

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
