Name: Joint Meetup with Python Sprint Zürich
Start: 2023-11-07T18:30:00+01:00

Location: Europaallee 41

This time we collaborate with [Python Sprints Zurich](https://www.meetup.com/python-sprints-zurich/) to dive into the world of open source programming.

During this event you will:

* Learn how open-source development works.
* Learn about Python
* Have the chance to contribute to **scikit-learn**, one of the [most popular](https://www.kaggle.com/kaggle-survey-2022) open-source libraries for machine learning!
* Contribute new features, fix bugs, and improve the documentation, so the whole community can benefit.
* Have a great time, meet new cool people, and learn from one another.

Just bring your laptop and yourself. 🙂💻

We'll have core developers from scikit-learn lead the sprint. As always, **we welcome new contributors**. For beginners in open-source, we'll have a beginners' table for making your first pull request on GitHub.

*Please read the details below for more info* on how to prepare for the event and what to expect during the evening.

⚠️ This event has **limited seats** and may have a **waiting list**. *If you are confirmed but can't attend, please remember to release your place to someone else*. Similarly, please don't show up if you're on the waiting list but haven't been confirmed. Unfortunately, we'll not be able to accommodate more people than planned.

If you are a member of the [Python Sprints Zurich](https://www.meetup.com/python-sprints-zurich/) meetup group and you cannot find a space here, you can join their [event ](https://www.meetup.com/python-sprints-zurich/events/296536487/)instead. Please only sign up to one of the two events.

* 18.45: Sponsor presentation, scikit-learn presentation
* 19.00: Coding
* 21.30: End of the event, pub/drinks nearby for those who want to join

**HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE SPRINT** 💻

You need to **bring your own laptop** and **have a development environment already set up**:

* Create the scikit-learn development environment following the [instructions](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/developers/contributing.html#how-to-contribute) from steps 1 to 6
* (Optional) [Extra videos resources](https://scikit-learn.org/dev/developers/contributing.html#video-resources) are also available if you want to learn more about how to contribute to Scikit-Learn.

***First Time Contributors***

* Create a [GitHub account](https://github.com/) if you don't have one.
* Install Python if you don't have it already (for this sprint, we suggest using [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html) or [Anaconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/index.html)).
* If you can, set up the development environment as shown above. If you experience any problems, we'll help you fix them during the event.
* Check out the videos linked above to get familiar with the process of contributing to scikit-learn.

*Code of Conduct*
Please be reminded that all participants are expected to follow the [NumFOCUS Code of Conduct](https://numfocus.org/code-of-conduct).
