Thanks so much to all who came out for the social event at Kairoa a couple of weeks ago. We had a blast hanging out with you all! This week, we're back at it with our usual first Thursday Meetup.
RSVP for the Meetup here: https://www.meetup.com/sdruby/events/gwkqcryzlbcb/ PRE PARTY - 6:00pm Networking over pizza and soda FEATURED TALK FOR AUGUST: Marco Carmosino - "Mo'Data, Mo'Problems" "Big Data" makes it possible to develop fundamentally new applications: virtual assistants, intelligent mapping, and personalized medical interventions. But these big datasets represent equally big privacy risks; we regularly hear about millions of private records leaking. During this talk, Marco Carmosino (PhD Candidate, UCSD) will explain new algorithms that allow "big data" analytics without compromising user privacy, using existing applications from Apple, Google, and the US Census Bureau as examples. LIGHTNING TALKS: We're always open for people to share lightning talks. Feel free to sign up here: http://bit.ly/1Nsq9g8 (Google Form). Lightning talks are 5 minutes and a great chance to dip your toes in if you've always wanted to talk at SDRuby, but haven't had the chance to yet. RAFFLE We'll be giving away a few ebooks, software licenses, etc, using our super fun Rafflr! AFTER PARTY - 8:30pm After the meeting, we'll head out for a round or two of drinks at Half Door Brewing Company! .... DIRECTIONS Meetings are held at LEARN Academy downtown (704 J Street), at 7:00pm, with networking beginning at 6:00pm, on the first Thursday of the month. Metered parking downtown is free after 6pm or 8pm, depending on the area, so double-check the meter before you leave without paying. There are also several paid parking lots nearby, if you so choose.
