SUMMARY:Reclaiming Your Focus: A Discussion on "Digital Minimalism"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online discussion on November 25th!\n\n\nDo you feel more distracted than ever\, despite being constantly connected? Join the Austin Forum for an essential online conversation about Cal Newport’s influential book\, “Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.” We’ll explore Newport’s philosophy of using technology with intention to support your goals\, rather than letting it use you. \nThis timely discussion will be moderated by Hugh Forrest\, the visionary behind SXSW and founder of Gather & Grow. With decades of experience at the intersection of technology and human connection\, Hugh will guide our conversation on practical strategies to: \n\nDeclutter your digital life and curate your tools.\nRediscover the value of solitude and high-quality leisure.\nCultivate deeper\, more meaningful connections\, both online and off.\n\nWhether you’re feeling digital burnout or are simply curious about living a more focused life\, this conversation is for you. Come ready to share your own experiences and learn how to build a healthier relationship with technology. \n \nAttendance Instructions \nThe discussion will be held online via Google Meet. Please register to receive the meet link! \nSpace is limited\, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend—and kindly cancel your registration if your plans change so we can open your spot to another participant.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Python Coding
DESCRIPTION:• What we’ll do\nLearners and complete Python novices are welcome as well as experts. If you want to start something new\, please see this as an opportunity to jump start the project. If you need help with an existing coding project\, bring it with you and we will have a look at it. If you want to show your complete code to someone else to test it\, or if you just want to consult with python experts you are welcome. \nThe format will be different than regular since this joins the Austin and DC python communities: \n6:30 CST = 7:30 EST we will start the meeting. Join the meetup to view the link.\nThis link may change\, so please check this link again before the meeting. \n7 CST = 8 EST: Announcement + Demo \nAround 7:30 CST = 8:30 EST continue discussions or break into smaller groups. \nAlthough this online meeting is different\, for those new to this meetup\, please check out previous meetups we had to get an idea of what to expect. Here is a link to previous meetups:\nhttps://github.com/Jacob-Barhak/EveningOfPythonCoding \nYou will find there demo code and the folk who presented them. Feel free to clone and star demos that were useful to you. \n• Important to know\nOur focus for this month will be: LlamaIndex\nhttps://www.llamaindex.ai/

SUMMARY:The Austin Python Meetup
DESCRIPTION:**New location at Brazos Place @ 800 Brazos st. us the entrance on brazos street not 8th.**\nThis is a Hybrid event both **in-person** and virtual. The **in-person** event is hosted at **[Antler](https://www.antler.co/location/us)** downtown Austin. \n**Address:**\nBrazos Place @ 800 Brazos st\,\nThe entrance is off of Brazos st. \n**Talk: Alex Merced -** Python Meets Apache Iceberg: Exploring Different Ways to Work with Iceberg Tables with Python \n**Description:**\nDiscover how Python is becoming a powerful interface for working with Apache Iceberg tables. In this session\, we’ll dive into the capabilities of the PyIceberg library for directly interacting with Iceberg metadata\, demonstrate how to query Iceberg data using the `dremio-simple-query` client\, and explore how Dremio’s Polaris catalog enables a fully managed REST-based Iceberg experience. We’ll also preview how the upcoming **Pandas v3** release enhances native support for Apache Arrow and unlocks new performance and interoperability possibilities with the Iceberg ecosystem. Whether you’re building data pipelines\, exploring data science workflows\, or managing a lakehouse\, this talk will show how Python fits naturally into the Apache Iceberg journey. \n**Speaker Bio**\nAlex Merced is Head of DevRel at Dremio with experience as a developer and instructor. His professional journey includes roles at GenEd Systems\, Crossfield Digital\, CampusGuard\, and General Assembly. He co-authored “Apache Iceberg: The Definitive Guide” published by O’Reilly and has spoken at notable events such as Data Day Texas and Data Council. Alex is passionate about technology\, sharing his expertise through blogs\, videos\, podcasts like Datanation and Web Dev 101\, and contributions to the JavaScript and Python communities with libraries like SencilloDB and CoquitoJS.\n**Antler**\nAntler works with [founders](https://www.antler.co/location/us) through our signature founder residency\, adding value immediately\, and taking no equity up front. We receive over 160\,000 applications each year to build companies with us\, and have grown to 18 funds with residencies in 30 cities around the globe. Founders also have the opportunity to pitch our Investment Committee to receive an up to $500K investment\, allowing them to build for 12-18 months rather than attempting to raise before they have real traction.

SUMMARY:Discussion of “Not the End of the World” by Hannah Richie
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online discussion on October 22nd!\n\n\nLet’s Discuss: Data-Driven Optimism for Our Planet \nFeeling overwhelmed by environmental headlines? You’re not alone\, but what if the data tells a more hopeful story? Let’s discuss how data can give us some optimism for our planet! \nJoin the Austin Forum for an online book discussion of Hannah Ritchie’s “Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet.” This groundbreaking book uses hard data to challenge the prevailing narrative of doom. Ritchie\, a researcher at Our World in Data\, argues that while our environmental problems are serious\, they are also solvable. We’ll discuss the book’s surprising insights on everything from carbon emissions and plastic waste to food systems and biodiversity\, and explore its central message: we have made real progress\, and we have the tools to build a sustainable future. \nTo get the most out of the conversation\, we encourage you to read the book or a summary before the event. However\, all are welcome to join\, listen\, and share their perspective\, regardless of whether you’ve finished the book. \nCome ready to discuss\, question\, and explore a pragmatic and empowering path forward for our planet. 🌍💡 \n \nAttendance Instructions \nThe discussion will be held online via Google Meet. Please register to receive the meet link! \nSpace is limited\, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend—and kindly cancel your registration if your plans change so we can open your spot to another participant.
