A lot is happening in the Clojure data science ecosystem. While the infrastructure and tooling are gradually maturing, new libraries and experiments are rising. It seems that we are on a phase transition, and some beautiful things are about to happen.

It is a good time to meet and catch up, hear about active projects and discuss future directions and ways to collaborate.

That is what we will be doing in the public meeting on the coming Sunday, August 30th 2020.

Time

We will meet at 5pm UTC, for 90m minutes. Please check your time difference from the UTC timezone.

The next public meeting is planned to take on a different hour, more comfortable to the friends in East Asia.

Plan

We will have a sequence of 5min lightning talks, then some discussion.

Below is the tentative plan. Several more friends have mentioned they might speak too, but haven't confirmed yet. If you wish to add your name to the list, please kindly email scicloj@gmail.com.

• Anthony Khong will speak about Geni -- a new Clojure library that wraps Apache Spark.
• Daniel Slutsky will share a workflow with some of the new libraries and tools, including Tablecloth, Gorilla-UI and an experimental branch of Notespace.
• Jon Anthony will present a demonstration of building interactive dashboards with Saite.
• Michael Travers will give a presentation about a visual query builder for knowledge graphs.
• Christopher Small will present the work he has been doing on Polis analyses with Libpython-clj, the tech.ml stack, Oz & Clojupyter in a Docker environment.
• Sivaram Arabandi will give a presentation on imprecise data.
• Łukasz Kożuchowski will talk about Differential Privacy in Clojure (a work in progress open source library).
