Join us virtually for March PythonPune meetup

by Akshay Gaikwad

Hello All, We are excited to announce the March PythonPune meetup [1] on 20th March, 2021. This month we are collaborating with BangPypers - Bangalore Python Users Group Agenda: 1. Machine Learning techniques in Image Processing using Python A high level overview by Kanishk Varshney. The world has aggressively taken to using Machine Learning in various domains and Image Processing even more so given its diverse needs and applications. But the barrier to entry into this domain is pretty high and while everyone tries to learn, it's more often than not the case that people get overwhelmed and back away from the journey. In a bid to remedy this, we're planning a series of 3 meetup events where Kanishk will help teach about some of the building blocks of Machine Learning - specifically in Image Processing. This month, the first of the three events, is intended to be a taste of what is possible using Python in this domain. 2. Lightning talks: Lightning talks are a very popular form of talks in PyCon and in Python meetups where people are free to talk about anything related to Python that they'd like to for a duration of 5-10 minutes. This month, we plan to have 4 lightning talks and the floor is currently open for the same. You can add your Lightning talk submission as an Issue at https://github.com/pythonpune/meetup-talks/issues/new/choose This is an online event, event link would be shared a day before the meetup at here[1].

by Shashank Kumar

Hey everyone, We recently announced that PyCon India 2021 will be organized online[1], and we have already started prepping up for the conference. We have also opened our talks and workshops CFP for potential speakers[2]. We want to start the process of selecting the Keynote Speakers for PyCon India 2021. For people new to the conference, keynotes at PyCon India, are inspiring talks from speakers that leave a lasting impact on the conference attendees. The keynote speakers also help to tip the scales for people having second thoughts about attending the conference. This increases participation and enriches the overall experience of the conference. We will have 4 keynote speakers this year. Please send in your keynote speaker suggestion to the mailing list. Please send in one keynote speaker suggestion per mail, containing a brief description of the speaker or Speaker Bio-Link. If you like a speaker suggestion, use +1 style voting to indicate a preference for a particular keynote speaker. We are also using GitHub discussions to get all suggestions from the community. Please share your keynote speaker suggestions in the GitHub discussion here also[3]. We will start reaching out to keynote speakers in the order of preference within the next few weeks. In case you want to chime in for the PyCon India 2021 discussions, you can join the #2021/discussion stream in PyCon India Zulip[4] channel.
