<div class="l-content"> <div class="l-basic--flipped"> <div class='l-content'> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">About this Community of Practice</h2> <p>The Davis Python Users Group (DPUG) is a friendly users group where community members, including DataLab staff, discuss their experiences, discoveries, and questions about using <a href="https://www.python.org/">Python</a> and about research computing in general. The group is currently led by Ph.D. student Viktoria Haghani and <a href="https://datalab.ucdavis.edu/team/">Data Scientist Nick Ulle</a>. The group was founded by <a href="https://foxlab.ucdavis.edu/">Professor Andrew Fox</a>.</p> <p>Most DPUG meetings are informal “studio” sessions, which may begin with a short presentation (15-20 minutes) to prompt discussion. You’re encouraged to share your perspectives, bring your own questions, or just pull up a virtual seat and code along. Studio meetings are generally hybrid meetings (in-person and over Zoom) and do not require registration in advance. Zoom links for studio meetings are sent out to the mailing list a few days in advance.</p> <p>We also occasionally host special events and formal workshop sessions where one or more instructors teach a topic to a wider audience. Special events and workshops usually do require registration in advance.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming Events</h2> <p>This group meets every other week. Zoom links are sent out to the mailing list and Slack channel. Next meeting:</p> <div id="localist-widget-60423264" class="localist-widget"> <script defer type="text/javascript"
