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

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**.

Hola a todos!! Tenemos una nueva conferencia muy interesante . 2026: Año del salto cuántico. "En año de tribulaciones, no te cambies de país" decía Cervantes. Necesario capear el temporal sin cambios excesivos centrándose en lo pequeño, lo cotidiano. En los tiempos líquidos actuales, terminología generada por Zygmunt Bauman en la que manifiesta la falta de vinculación real en una sociedad individualista , es necesario estabilizar lo que realmente tiene valor, ya que en los cambios presentes, lo esencial que se elige cuidar ahora es lo que nos llevaremos con nosotros. Quedara atrás lo que no esta listo para el futuro. Igual que la Flor del Loto muestra su belleza en medio del lodo, nosotros podemos mostrar la nuestra en medio de todos estos movimientos actuales. Conferencia a cargo de : Ana Isabel Martínez -Economista, Mediadora de conflictos, Adulta Indigo, Naturista, Meditadora y Conferenciante. Sábado 23 de mayo en Restaurante Nova Galicia , C/ Calabria 224 Metro L-5 estación de Entenza, a las 19:00h. OS ESPERAMOS!!

El Pizza Day se celebra cada año el 22 de mayo para conmemorar la primera transacción comercial realizada con Bitcoin. En 2010, un hombre llamado Laszlo Hanyecz compró dos pizzas de Papa John’s con 10.000 BTC, que en ese momento valían alrededor de $41. Esta compra histórica marcó un punto de inflexión para Bitcoin, ya que demostró que podía usarse para comprar bienes y servicios del mundo real. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0 Este año el Pizza Day lo celebraremos en Can Pizza, Rambla del Poblenou, 127 de Barcelona a las 20h. https://canpizza.eu/ca/can-pizza-poblenou ¡Os esperamos a todos!

Link oficial: https://luma.com/3tg5s7lo # 4ta Encuentro: Edición Solar ​Cerramos esta serie de encuentros con nuestra cuarta edición del Colectivo Farina: **Adaptation**. En esta ocasión, junto a los amigos de **Slow Lab**, desplazamos nuestra mirada de la instrumentación técnica hacia la **sincronización con el entorno**, explorando el clima (en este caso el sol) como nuestro principal ingrediente. ​Nos trasladamos al huerto urbano de **[Green City Lab](https://greencitylab.org/?utm_source=luma)** para habitar un espacio de experimentación donde la **cocina solar** será el eje central. Reflexionaremos sobre cómo adaptarnos a un futuro más resiliente mediante el uso de energías alternativas, desafiando la inmediatez industrial para aprender a "cosechar" el calor. En esta edición, el sol y el tiempo dictarán el ritmo de la mesa, transformando el acto de cocinar en un ejercicio de soberanía, paciencia y coexistencia con los ciclos naturales. # ​¿Qué es ***Colectivo Farina?*** ​Un espacio para experimentar, degustar y cocinar colectivamente, creado por **[bifaz](https://www.instagram.com/bifazworks/?utm_source=luma).** ## ​**¿Para qué?** ​Colectivo Farina busca **reconectar con los ingredientes y retomar técnicas olvidadas** de la cocina, reduciendo artilugios y poniendo el foco en lo **manual**, lo **artesanal** e incluso lo **ancestral**. Todo desde una práctica **compartida y participativa,** donde cocinar vuelve a ser un acto colectivo, más que una ejecución individual. Desde bifaz, creemos que el comer del futuro no solo va tanto del qué cocinaremos sino del cómo y con quién, poniendo el foco en la cocina como **acto de comunidad y resistencia a la vida acelerada** que llevamos. ## ​**¿De qué va?** ​Este proyecto se compone de **encuentros culinarios** que parten de un concepto transversal (que irá variando en cada edición) con el objetivo de **reflexionar** sobre la **sostenibilidad, la cultura y el futuro** de nuestras prácticas culinarias. Todo esto se lleva a una actividad de **cocina colectiva**, donde el resultado final será, en su mayoría (pero no limitado a) pasta, usada aquí como formato versátil, accesible y profundamente comunitario. ## ​¿Por qué *Farina*? ​Del latín farīna, “harina” o “polvo fino de grano”, un ingrediente base de innumerables culturas desde el inicio de los tiempos. Económica, cotidiana y sustanciosa, la harina representa la sencillez en su máximo esplendor. Y de eso va este proyecto: de **volver a lo esencial**. De cocinar desde lo básico, sin artificios, donde **la pasta, será nuestro vehículo principal**, no por técnica, sino por lo que simboliza: unión, manualidad y un punto de partida común. ## ​Lo que NO es ​No es una cena clandestina. ​No es un taller de pasta. ​No es un restaurante. ​Aquí **tod@s somos cocineros** y nadie queda por fuera.

[https://astrologiasacra.com](https://astrologiasacra.com) Instagram: linktr.ee/astrologiasacra Meet Up: Circulo de Astrología y Pensamiento Simbólico: [https://www.meetup.com/circulo-de-astrologia-y-pensamiento-simbolico](https://www.meetup.com/circulo-de-astrologia-y-pensamiento-simbolico) Esta conferencia propone una mirada filosófica y crítica sobre la Astrología, alejándola de interpretaciones tanto deterministas como psicológicas, para situarla en un marco más profundo y contemporáneo. Desde este enfoque, la Carta Natal puede entenderse como un mapa de la mente, una estructura de patrones que refleja nuestra programación psíquica: tendencias, automatismos, formas de percibir, reaccionar y construir la experiencia. En este sentido, la astrología funciona como una herramienta de gran valor para el autoconocimiento, permitiéndonos ver con claridad nuestro “algoritmo interno”. Sin embargo, esta misma herramienta encierra también un riesgo: la identificación con ese patrón. Y cuando nos reducimos a nuestro “personaje astrológico”, cuando creemos ser únicamente esa configuración psicológica, reforzamos los condicionamientos que precisamente deberíamos comprender y trascender. Aquí es donde se abre una segunda dimensión, más profunda: la Conciencia. Hay en nosotros una instancia más amplia, una conciencia capaz de observar esos patrones sin quedar atrapada en ellos. Y desde esta perspectiva, la Astrología deja de ser un sistema que define el destino, para convertirse en un lenguaje que describe la estructura de la mente… y que, bien comprendido, puede ser “reprogramado” o incluso “hackeado”. La propuesta de esta conferencia es precisamente esta: utilizar la astrología no como un marco de identificación, sino como una vía de liberación. Comprender el propio patrón… para no quedar reducido a él. Una invitación a mirar la Carta Natal con profundidad, pero también a ir más allá de ella. Colaboración: 5 euros (costes de sala y organización). Sólo en efectivo. No Bizum.

**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. **YouTube Link** TBD

**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.

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
