The goal of this data-science meetup is to show one workflow (tools and processes) useful to run data-science meetups.
At the end of this meetup, you'll be able to do things like this:
- Use this workflow to run data-science meetups.
- Adapt this workflow based on your own values and needs.
- People responsible for leading data-science meetups.
- People who attend to data-science meetups.
The first step ... is figuring out who your audience is.
-- Learner Personas, in Teaching Tech Together by Greg Wilson.
- As a meetup developer you'll save time, teach more effectively, and stand out as an expert in the field.
- As a meetup participant you'll get a more consistent, pleasant, and useful learning experience.
- Learn the details of the workflow used in this meetup, and the values that drove it.
- Understand how values can help you find a meetup workflow that works for you.

org/repo/README.md
Nice to have:
- Repo template https://github.com/dsincubator/template:
- Meetup materials: README.md (series also need a meetup/README.md)
- Meetup checklist: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE (Configuring issue templates)
- Topics poll: https://github.com/dsincubator/template/discussions
- Collaborative document: https://bit.ly/dsincubator-doc
- Blog: https://dsincubator.github.io/
Example: https://github.com/dsincubator
You are responsible for running a project like the dsincubator. Every week you need to prepare and often deliver a data-science meetup.
Consider the values of the dsincubator project and reflect on your own values.
With those values in mind, answer as many questions as you can.
- What's the name of your project? e.g. dsincubator
- Where do you host the Git repos? e.g. GitHub
- Are your repos private or public? e.g. Public
- Where do you host the recordings? e.g. YouTube
- Are the your recordings private or public? e.g. Public
- Where do you share the materials and videos? e.g. LinkedIn
These additional questions may help you prepare for the many other decisions you will eventually need to make:
- How would you present the materials? e.g. directly from markdown files.
- How would you decide meetup topics? e.g. By consultation via a poll.
- How long would each meetup be? e.g. 20' presentation + 10' discussion.
- Would you rotate the responsability to develop and lead meetups? How? e.g. Yes, every 3 months.
- Would you like to present meetups? e.g. Yes, occationally on topics I'm most pationate about.
- Would you develop the text content in English or another languge? e.g. Mostly English but other occationally in Spanish.
- Would you present the content during the meetup in English or another languge? e.g. Mostly English but other occationally in Spanish.
