Meetup Thursday, March 27, 2025
Our second meeting! The meeting will take place from 20:00 - 22:00. It is our first meeting at our new location: at Technolab in Leiden, near the Lammenschans railway station (this meeting was previously planned at Monday, March 24 at Denksportcentrum).
Contents of the meeting
At this meeting, we have two talks planned:
- Talk 1: Serialization in Python including hands-on workshop by John Labelle
- Talk 2: How to use
uvfor dependency management by Michiel Beijen (this talk was originally planned for the first meetup but got moved over because of time constraints) - Talk 3: Rendering spatial data in 3d using zarr, jax, babylon.js and DuckDB by Jesse Vanderhees
Our talks happen in a friendly and informal setting. They are a great way to learn new things, share your knowledge, and meet other Python enthusiasts. There is always room for questions and discussion. Our presentations and talks are in English to be accessible for the large amount of non-Dutch speakers in the Python community.
Location
Our meeting location is kindly provided by Technolab, an organization that offers science education for children and teenagers. We’re very happy to be able to use their facilities. We’ll be using the big meeting room, while the people from “The Space Leiden”, a local hacker/makerspace, will also be present in the building. The Space will be open starting 19:00.
This is our first meeting at the Technolab, we’re really looking forward using the new facility.
How to get there
The Technolab is located in the building above the Plus supermarket (Bètaplein 28). This is a 5 minute walk from the Leiden Lammenschans railway station. It’s also easily reachable by bus.
If you travel by car, the best place to park your car is at Parking Leiden Lammenschans which is located in the basement of the building where Technolab is. Parking costs around €2 per hour.
Price
The meetup is free of charge. Drinks are available for a small fee.
