[CentralOH] Looking for a talk for December

[Jeff Klukas]

Hi Eric!

I presented at COhPy a few years ago, doing a walk-through of a fairly
simple ML pipeline built on top of scikit-learn, but have not been to a
meeting in quite some time. I happen to have a recent talk ready to go,
though, and I'd be available to speak on the 9th if you still need a
presenter.

Will Lachance, one of my teammates at Mozilla, gave a keynote at PyCon
Canada last week titled "Iodide, Pyodide and the future of Python on the
Web". Iodide is an environment like Jupyter notebooks that runs entirely in
the browser, [0] and Pyodide is a project that gets Python and the
scientific python stack running in the browser via WebAssembly [1]. Will
has given me his blessing to reuse his slides and present the same material
to the COhPy audience.

The talk spends about half the time talking about the benefits and
limitations of notebook-like environments for data work and collabration,
motivating why Iodide exists, then the other half is about the details of
how Pyodide gets python running in the browser and how it manages to share
data objects between python and the browser's Javascript environment, with
a demo of that interop happening in practice in an Iodide notebook.

Let me know if this sounds like a good fit.
