I just had an incredible 5-day experience at EuroSciPy in 🇵🇱 Szczecin, Poland 🇵🇱 from August 26th to 30th. It felt like a dream 🌟 to learn directly from some of the best minds 🧠 in the field, including the core maintainers of key open-source libraries like NumPy, Matplotlib, scikit-learn, skrub, sktime, and more. The days were packed, with formal sessions from 9 AM to 5 PM 📊, followed by informal gatherings in the garden 🌳 until 9 or 10 PM, filled with fun 🎉 and deep discussions. Spending 12 hours a day with these brilliant people 💡 has definitely left a lasting impact on me 😊.
The first two days were dedicated to tutorials 📚, but "tutorials" doesn't quite capture it—they were more like in-depth guides on how to use new libraries, straight from the maintainers themselves. It gave me a much deeper understanding of what's happening under the hood 🔧. The next two days were a mix of guidance, feature talks 💬, poster sessions, and explorations of even more new libraries 🔍.
The highlight for me was the final day, a sprint day 🏃♂️, where I got the chance to contribute to the scikit-learn project 💻. Watching the maintainers dive deep into bug resolution, peeling back layers to find the solution, was absolutely fascinating 🧩.
For those interested, EuroSciPy will be uploading some of the content to YouTube 📺. You can find the list of topics covered here: https://lnkd.in/g52jkhb7.
And a quick update: PyData Paris 🇫🇷 is coming up from September 25th to 27th, with the final day also being a sprint 🏁. Definitely worth checking out! 🙌
A huge thank you to everyone who made this event unforgettable! 🙏✨
