Following on from our successful event in September looking at online retros we're picking up on the idea of trying our different ice breaker/energiser formats together. We have some already but need more from the community too, we can then talk about different ones we have found and try some out together, if we get enough people we'll break into groups. If you have tried any successful online icebreaker formats recently please pop the details on the Trello Board (or submit to the board via the email address)
Trello Board: https://trello.com/invite/b/su7P2YZ8/9647823d32eb57ea8ab4578828e3c1ee/lean-agile-edinburgh-energisers-dec-2020
Email for Trello Board: lazallen+vbulownmpdya1nrblvq6@boards.trello.com
Ideally, we're looking for ones that can be used with minimal preparation by the facilitator or participants - so we focus on ones you can "pull out of your hat" when needed.
We will not be recording the session as this one will be (hopefully) highly interactive. If you just want to observe that is ok too, you can turn your video off if you like. That said it’s great to be able to see people too!
Bring a drink, you might need it!
As always we’ll be asking everyone to act within our code of conduct!
Looking for data visualization tools? Looking for someone with expertise? Wanting to exchange your expertise about tools? Join us for our open discussion session on visualization tools—you do not need to be an expert—we are keen to learn from everyone's experience.
As the number of tools for data visualization keeps growing, it is increasingly difficult to navigate the tool jungle. The goal of this 2h (online) meetup session is to engage in an open discussion about tools and exchange your expertise. This session aims to bring together people with (some) expertise in visualization tools. There are no talks scheduled but we have a small protocol to structure your discussion groups and to meet new people.
We will have a first round of breakout groups where people can share their experience with tools they know ("expert group") and a second round of discussions to give space to ask about tools you want to know more about. It's an experiment!!
To aid discussion and browsing, we developed http://vistools.net. Browse for tools, read the reviews, and join our session on Nov-12.
The session will happen on Collaborate: https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/6ca7e323f7dd4d35bfe5957fa756574a
No need to install any client or to create any account.
This meetup will take place online via Zoom, starting at 6.30pm.
If you're new to the group and/or would like to meet up for some chat beforehand I'll be around from 6pm onwards. Please feel free to drop in and say hello.
This month we welcome not just one, but TWO fantastic speakers.
Anne Dhir is Head of Strategy at Snook. Anne will be talking to us about what happens when service design, data analytics and policy making come together to deliver social impact.
Angus Addlesee is a PhD researcher, working to adapt voice assistants to be more accessible for people with dementia. He will talk about this project and many of the other interesting projects that will be presented at the upcoming European Chatbot and Conversational Summit.
Free school meals, data and service design (Anne Dhir)
With support from the Scottish Government and the Social Innovation Partnership, North Lanarkshire Council worked with Snook to trial this novel approach to make reach the thousands of pupils who are entitled to free school meals but aren't registered. How do we bring services to people instead of waiting for them to apply? What are the constraints about licences, ethics and consent? How departments and organisations need to work together?
Adapting voice assistants to be more accessible for people with dementia (Angus Addlesee)
As Scotland's population ages and carers face increasing pressures, Angus hopes to help people live in their own homes longer and more independently by adapting voice assistants. But - how can (relatively) small groups of vulnerable people be given due consideration while using data-driven methods? With help so far from Alzheimer Scotland, the Centre for Dementia Prevention, Edinburgh Medical School, the NHS, Wallscope, and The Data Lab - this project is well underway...
Agenda
6pm - Optional pre-meetup informal chat
6.30pm - Intro & Community Announcements
6.45pm - Breakout chat
7pm - Adapting voice assistants to be more accessible for people with dementia
7.30pm - Free school meals, data and service design

This is a second event in our Tidy Tuesday series: a dedicated time and supportive virtual space for us all to do some coding. We will use that week's Tidy Tuesday dataset to do data exploration, visualisation and analysis. Every participant will be free to take whatever direction they like and the coding will be done largely independently. But fear not, we will help each other when we get stuck and we will share our creations at the end of the event.
This event is meant for R-Ladies with any level of coding skills: whether you're a beginner or an experienced coder, you'll definitely get an opportunity to practice your skills and learn something new.
To participate, you need a computer with an installation of R and internet access. The workshop will be happening on Zoom - all attendees will be sent the access password in advance of the event. You can install Zoom on your computer for free if you like, but you can also use it via your internet browser.
Here is a very rough agenda:
5:30pm Welcome and introductions
5:45pm Get coding
6:30pm Quick check-in
7:15pm Sharing our findings and creations
7:30pm Closing of the event
To find out more about the Tidy Tuesday initiative, check out https://github.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday or explore the #TidyTuesday hashtag on Twitter.
We have two flash talks for November, which are the following:
Marion has kindly volunteered to give a short quiz for fun (not a competition) on random & less well known Linux and Open Source facts, but should suit all Linux competence levels.
As for the second flash talk, this will be given by myself. The talk will give a very quick introduction to Virtualbox; how to install it and get your first Virtual Machine up and running.
This is a very casual and welcoming meetup - come along to code in company, chat about learning to code or coding in general and learn from other people over a beverage of your choice.
All languages and levels of experience welcome, you don't have to be a beginner and you also don't have to know anything yet to come along!
There's no structure for this event, it's just for socialising and learning - drop in for however long you like.
We will have a table reserved at the back of Akva so just ask for the coding meetup when you arrive.
This meetup will take place online via Zoom, starting at 6.30pm.
If you're new to the group and/or would like to meet up for some chat beforehand I'll be around from 6pm onwards. Please feel free to drop in and say hello.

On the 27th, will be joined by Antoinette Ross who is kindly going to give a talk on The Three C's: Courage, Connection, Contagion.
In this presentation Antoinette will shine a light into the gap between the potential of applying the Agile methodology and what happens in reality. She identifies three organising principles of human behaviour that, once understood, expose the oftentimes invisible gumption traps that Agile teams fall into.
Antoinette will explain how our neurobiology is wired for connection and stress resilience and how social isolation and loneliness leads to distress and social pain. She will highlight the connection between the Agile value of courage and how to turn it into practice. Lastly, she will demonstrate how emotion affects our cognition, attitudes and behaviour and how it is often the invisible influencer in the room.
We hope her talk will provoke some Q&A with the group which will we may do in break our rooms or en-masse, depending on numbers.

Digital for Good - How startups and the third sector can collaborate
Description changed:
After a long break that disrupted us a little (can you guess what was the cause?), we're back with another event! Join us on November 26th 2020 at 5:30PM on Zoom for our November meetup!
Here's what we have in store:
* Kyle Usher from Nesta will speak about 'How Startups and Charities work closer together and collaborate'. He's done a lot of great work in this area in and outside of Nesta so it'll be a great talk!
* Project updates! You'll hear how our projects with Drake Music and YoungScot are doing. We'll also announce a few new projects that are just starting! There will be opportunities to volunteer and take part!
* New initiatives! We've been listening and learning and are cooking something up around supporting charities with fundraising!
* Opportunity for charities to request help and seek advice with most pressing digital challenges
See you then!
Note: We'll send you the Zoom link closer to the event, after you signed up!
Modeling and machine learning in R involve a bewildering array of heterogeneous packages, and establishing good statistical practice is challenging in any language. The tidymodels (tidymodels.org) collection of packages offers a consistent, flexible framework for your modeling and machine learning work to address these problems. In this talk, we’ll focus on three specific reasons to consider using tidymodels. We will start with model characteristics themselves, move to the wise management of your data budget, and finish with feature engineering.
Julia Silge is a data scientist and software engineer at RStudio PBC where she works on open source modeling tools. She is an author, an international keynote speaker, and a real-world practitioner focusing on data analysis and machine learning practice. Julia loves text analysis, making beautiful charts, and communicating about technical topics with diverse audiences.

Welcome to the next of our virtual PyData Edinburgh!
As always, we're keeping this at just one hour, and we will have a main talk plus a Q&A session at the end. We will meet at 7pm, use the Zoom link which will be provided in the registration email once you RSVP.
As always, let us know if you would like to give a talk in the future, whether a main or a lightning one, we're always looking out for speakers (as you know!). We've got some more volunteers for lightning talk, so if we get a couple more we'll be able to run an evening with just lightning talks, which would be great.
MAIN TALK: Cheuk Ting Ho
=====================================================================
Bio:
After having a career in data science, Cheuk now brings her knowledge in data and passion for the tech community into TerminusDB as the developer relations lead.
