[Python Edinburgh] pandas/numpy/scipy/pyspark/R/spark/etc 'data science' group?

[Laurence Billingham]

Hello,

I am still interested in a pydata meetup. Not around this month either.

Perhaps worth including scikit-learn type stuff too. There were a couple of people (¿including some from skyscanner?) 

Mike: I'd be interested in how the data meetup you mention goes.

Thanks,
Laurence

Quite a few of us would like a local ‘data science’ group which covered pandas/numpy/scipy/pyspark/R/spark/etc because there is a lot of cross-pollination between these, and people interested in using and solving problems with one are likely to be interested in all the others.
