Data Sharing for Data Science
2021-09-02 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Paris)
Combining data in surprising ways is a powerful technique in data science. For example, weather data combined with the right economic indicators can improve retail demand forecasting, but weather data combined with socio-economic indicators is also being used to prevent insect-borne disease. Whatever the data combination you’re looking for, data sharing is often a key step, and this can bring its own surprising challenges. Data sharing is not just a matter of getting permission. It also requires discovering who has the data you need, how to access it, how to deal with mismatches between different data sets and much more.
Please join us as our panelists share stories from their different experiences to dig into the technical and organizational challenges of data sharing and what you can do about them. We’ll also discuss new data initiatives including European-based Gaia-X and Linux Foundation’s Agstack among others.
Data scientists, data engineers, CDOs, CTOs, CIOs and data architects all should find this event useful.

Command-Line Interface Design: Philosophy and Practice
2021-06-25 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
If you’ve ever used a terminal, you know that it can be a confusing, inconsistent, even hostile experience. If you’ve ever tried to write programs for the terminal, you start to understand why: very few conventions and best practices exist, and those that do are hard to find.
This absence led me and some friends to write the Command Line Interface Guidelines (CLIG.dev), an open-source set of guidelines for designing command-line programs, based partly on experience building and maintaining programs such as Docker Compose. CLIG is part philosophy and part practical advice; in this talk, Aanand will take you through what he considers to be the most important parts of both, and hopefully inspire you to create delightful command-line programs of your own.
Aanand Prasad is an engineer and former startup founder who has been making command-line tools for 12 years, the most well-known one being Docker Compose. He’s originally from London, and is currently building frontend architecture at Squarespace in New York.
