Connecting the World: Scalable Geospatial Pipelines with GigaSpatial
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.

OBJECTIVE
✨ We'll explore and refresh ourselves at the impressive Salt del Molí de Brotons, a little-known and spectacular waterfall where the ruins of an old mill mysteriously blend into the interior of a huge rock cave.
Discover the hidden natural magic of the Moianès region!
💦 On an enchanting route, we'll follow the water's course, discovering natural pools like the beautiful Gorg Estret and places steeped in history, such as the Cova de la Tosca. A truly magical landscape.
🌿 Why go now? With the power of spring, the waterfall boasts a spectacular flow, and the valley teems with life.
📖 I'll share the stories of the area, its fauna, flora, and heritage.
📸 I'll teach you how to improve your photography, both technically and conceptually, using your phone's camera or an external one.
💫 Long Exposure Special: We'll learn to master shutter speed (even with your phone) to capture the soft, magical "silk effect" on water 🌊, transform constant movement into hypnotic, dynamic strokes 🏃♀️💨, and paint with light.
Bring a tripod if you have one.
👀 Through meditative hiking, we'll work on actively observing the landscape to connect with your surroundings, with yourself, and disconnect from your routine.
🥾 I'll guide you in improving your hiking skills and equipment so you can take better care of your body and tackle increasingly challenging routes.
🧘♀️ The ultimate goal is connecting with nature and our well-being, not the distance covered or the technique perfected.
We'll also have dedicated moments of meditative silence.
🚶♂️🚶♀️ Meet future friends who share your passions.
PLAN
👥 We'll be a small group of 6 to 20 people to respect the environment of the areas we explore and to better interact with each other.
🐶 Pets welcome!
🥾 Enjoy a 12 km circular route of easy to moderate difficulty with an elevation gain of 200 m. One stream must be crossed barefoot or in water shoes.
⏳ Total duration: 10.5 hours. Includes 1 hour of transportation each way.
🚌 We'll travel to and from Tetouan or Sagrera by bus.
🚗 Let me know if you're driving and we'll meet in Castellterçol; it's a circular route.
🎁 Take home my audiovisual report of the experience and the photo series taken by you and your companions as a souvenir.
🖼️ You consent to appear in the group photos unless you tell me otherwise.
✍️ I will give you guidelines and photography exercises to continue improving your photography skills.
✨ Let's create a memorable excursion!

ARTISTIC HIKING
Walking mindfully as an aesthetic practice, and not just as a passage between two points, reveals a rich range of facets in experiencing the landscape.
Multisensory landscape: Experiencing the tactile, auditory, and olfactory landscape also enhances our perceptive and creative personality.
Peri-urban drift: Wandering without a fixed route along the boundaries between cities and forests provides unexpected stimuli and discoveries.

Global Fabric Day Barcelona 2026 (Powered by Plain Concepts)
El 23 de mayo nos reunimos para celebrar la segunda edición del Global Fabric Day Barcelona, una jornada gratuita dedicada en exclusiva a Microsoft Fabric. Dos salas en paralelo, ocho sesiones, mucho networking... y un elenco de ponentes de primer nivel.
El evento empieza a las **8:30h con el registro**. ¡Apunta estas horas!
**09:00 - 09:15**
Presentación del grupo Power BI & Fabric Barcelona y anuncio de los próximos eventos. El momento perfecto para llegar a tiempo y no perderte nada 😉
**09:15 - 10:05**
Sala Grande - **Fabric IQ: El fin del "depende de a quién preguntes"** (Laura Galea Montal, Augusto Bou) ¿Y si los agentes de IA pudieran entender tu negocio de verdad, no solo tus tablas? Laura y Augusto nos presentan Fabric IQ: la nueva capa semántica que conecta entidades reales (vuelos, clientes, activos) con datos en tiempo real, reglas de negocio y acciones automatizadas. Con demo incluida de operaciones de aerolínea. 🛫
Sala Pequeña - **Atreveix-te amb Microsoft Fabric: els teus primers passos** (Andreu Cabero) Andreu va fer el salt a Fabric fa uns mesos sense ser un perfil 100% tècnic, i ho explica sense embuts. Primera part: la seva experiència real i els recursos que l'han ajudat. Segona part: una introducció pràctica amb Lakehouses, Notebooks, Pipelines i models semàntics. Ideal si tens Fabric pendent des de fa temps.
**10:05 - 10:55**
Sala Grande - **OneLake Security: Centralized Data Security for Microsoft Fabric** (Thierry Houy) [en inglés] OneLake centraliza todos tus datos. Pero, ¿cómo los proteges? Thierry, Sr. Program Manager en Microsoft y miembro del equipo CAT de Fabric, nos explica cómo funciona OneLake Security, cómo configurarlo y qué limitaciones hay que conocer hoy.
Sala Pequeña - **Fabric y el Poder de las Vistas Materializadas: Menos procesamiento, más valor** (Kelly Peraza) SQL que se almacena como tabla Delta en el lago: consultas rápidas, sin reprocesamientos innecesarios. Kelly nos enseña cómo las vistas materializadas de Fabric simplifican la ingeniería de datos y encapsulan la lógica de transformación de una vez por todas.
**10:55 - 11:25 ☕ Coffee Break**
**11:25 - 12:15**
Sala Grande - **Hello Warehouse, my old friend: deep dive en Fabric Data Warehouse** (Rafael Báguena Girbés) ¿Pensabas que el Lakehouse había jubilado al almacén de datos? Rafael te hará cambiar de idea. Un deep dive sin filtros en el Fabric Data Warehouse: cuándo usarlo, cuándo apostar por el Lakehouse, y cuándo hacer que los dos trabajen juntos. La unión hace la fuerza.
Sala Pequeña - **Administrando Fabric con lenguaje natural usando IA** (Ricardo Rincon) Ricardo, MVP de Microsoft, nos enseña a configurar el Fabric CLI y a usarlo con agentes de IA gracias a los skills de Microsoft y de la comunidad. Gestionar tu entorno Fabric hablando en lenguaje natural: el futuro ya está aquí.
**12:15 - 13:05**
Sala Grande - **Ingesting Excel Data Sources Like a Pro** (Bernat Agulló) Excel no es el favorito de nadie en ingeniería de datos, pero está en todas partes. Bernat presenta un caso real con más de 50 fuentes Excel: dataflows a prueba de fallos, captura de errores en un único informe Power BI y control de integridad referencial. Cosas que pasan de verdad.
Sala Pequeña - **CI/CD en Fabric** (Oscar Garzon Gonzalez) Git integrado en Fabric, explicado con un caso práctico real: cómo gestionar la ampliación y modificación de un informe bajo un marco de control de versiones. Imprescindible si trabajas en equipo y quieres dejar de vivir al límite.
**13:05 - 13:35** 🤝 Networking
El evento es gratuito y el aforo es limitado. ¡Confirma tu asistencia cuanto antes!
Nos vemos el 23 de mayo 📅 #GlobalFabricDay #GFD26 #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI
🪩 Corazón del Pirineo • Sobrarbe, Peña Montañesa, Castillo Mayor ☀️3D/2N🌙
Hay lugares en el mundo donde la Tierra no se molesta en esconder sus secretos. Y la comarca del Sobrarbe es uno de ellos. En el Geoparque Sobrarbe-Pirineos están registrados los últimos 550 millones de años de la historia de la Tierra. Un libro de grandes plegamientos y cabalgamientos, rocas de todo tipo, fósiles únicos, profundos cañones, glaciares y cuevas. Nosotros venimos a leer ese libro, pero a pie, con las botas puestas, subiendo a sus cimas.
**Día 1** \- Empezamos con el pico sorpresa\. Os doy una pista: al borde del abismo de Añisclo\.
Una cumbre que no alcanza los dos mil metros pero que resulta enormemente gratificante por las panorámicas que ofrece: al noroeste, el macizo de Monte Perdido con el Cilindro de Marboré, el Pico de Añisclo y las Tres Marías.
La sensación es de estar suspendido sobre el vacío con la espectacular caída de casi 1000 metros hasta el fondo del cañón.
!Pa flipar!
**Día 2** \- La segunda mañana la arrancamos desde los pies del monasterio de San Beturián\, con la Peña Montañesa recortada contra el cielo como una amenaza calcárea\.
Con sus 2.291 metros de altitud, esta cumbre emblemática del Pirineo aragonés, forma parte de un gran cabalgamiento que afecta a todo el Macizo de Cotiella, y cuyo desplazamiento se ha calculado en unos 40 kilómetros hacia el sur. Un balcón sobre 45 millones de años de historia. Senderos abruptos entre encinas, boj y pinos negros retorcidos tomándose el viento demasiado en serio y un tramo final de subida sin contemplaciones, piedras sueltas y acantilados escarpados.
Bajamos con las piernas satisfechas y el cerebro lleno de pliegues. Aínsa espera, y con ella una mesa bien puesta, un vino de Somontano y la agradable certeza de que mañana toca otra cumbre.
**Día 3** \- El último día es el más teatral\. Situado en pleno corazón del Sobrarbe\, la majestuosa mole rocosa del Castillo Mayor constituye un mirador prominente en todas las direcciones:
la Peña Montañesa, el Posets y el Aneto hacia el este, la Sierra de Tendeñera hacia el oeste y la Sierra de Guara al sur. Su nombre no es metáfora: la montaña tiene forma de fortaleza inexpugnable por el norte, con verticales paredones calcáreos, pero nuestra vía sube por el sur, aprovechando el característico sinclinal, esa curvatura de las capas de roca que se doblan hacia adentro.
Tres días, tres cimas, 550 millones de años y la prueba de que a veces no hace falta subir muy alto para entender la belleza del caos con toda claridad.
🏰 Nuestro cuartel general serán dos villas en un centro de vacaciones cerca de Ainsa, con fácil acceso al pantano de Mediano y vistas a la Peña Montañesa.

Python Meetup May
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.

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**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.
