Hi everyone, I love giving talks on community building - and want your voices in it. If you build or take part in tech communities (free time or work), I'd love to hear your experiences! It takes ~5-10 min and is anonymous π forms.gle/Qmcez89xxMsA... Thank you! π
It took me a while to implement everything but I'm super excited to share that v0.2.0 is finally out there for you to use with overviewpy's PyPI version! For a deeper dive, have a look here: cosimameyer.com/post/mid-yea... If you have feedback or other ideas? Curious to hear your thoughts π
After a bit of tinkering, my "gallery" got a small facelift. I'm so happy how it turned out! I also wrote a (very) short reflection on the process and how I got there. Why very short? Because it didn't take too long and was surprisingly straightforward! cosimameyer.com/post/updatin...
It's been a while since we last updated {overviewR} but it's officially updated on CRAN! π If you want to learn what's new, here's a short summary: cosimameyer.com/post/newest-... In a nutshell: - Export tables as markdown - Proportional Venn diagrams - More flexible plot colors #rladies
I'm back to working on the @pyladies-bot.bsky.social and @rladies-bot.bsky.social bots π₯° Do you have a blog or a YouTube channel and want it featured? Let me know or learn more about it here: cosimameyer.github.io/community-bo... #pyladies #rladies

When I started creating portraits of women in tech last year, I had no idea how quickly it would grow into the "Amazing Women in Tech" series β¨ I set up a gallery where you can flip through the portraits: π Amazing Women in Tech Gallery: gallery.cosimameyer.com #womenintech #amazingwomenintech

It is with a full heart that I step down from my role with @rladies-cologne.bsky.social a chapter of @rladies.org that I had the pleasure of founding in 2021 π
And if this made you curious what @rladies-cologne.bsky.social are doing or want to generally learn more about developing software in #rstats, they are kicking off a new series on package development with the first session coming up next week. RSVP here: www.meetup.com/rladies-colo... π©βπ»
It is with a full heart that I step down from my role with @rladies-cologne.bsky.social a chapter of @rladies.org that I had the pleasure of founding in 2021 π
A few projects that will always hold a special place in my heart are our amazing collaborations with other chapters (R-Ladies Bergen, R-Ladies Gaborone, R-Ladies Nairobi, R-Ladies Paris, PyLadies Tunis, @pyladiesparis.bsky.social, and Pyladies Munich) & the launch of the PyLadies π R-Ladies series
I played around with some functionalities of the @rladies-bot.bsky.social and @pyladies-bot.bsky.social to improve the blog post promotion. Using Gemini, I had a setup up and running in ~30 minutes. If you want to try it out yourself, here's my step-by-step guide: bit.ly/embed-gemini #python
I may be biased, but if you're looking for an opportunity to get involved in the #rladies community (and live in or near one of the best cities in the world), this is for you! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out or contact the chapter directly π @rladies.org @rladies-bot.bsky.social
Weβre looking for a Co-Organizer at R-Ladies Cologne! π«Ά Are you in the Cologne area and passionate about supporting our vibrant #rladies chapter? Weβd love to have you on board! π @rladies-bot.bsky.social

Because it never gets old... integrated gradients are a great (and accessible) way to start making your LLMs explainable π Here's a blog post that I co-authored with @ankuepfer.bsky.social on this topic: bit.ly/bert-xai-post #pyladies #python #xai

When I'm not working on the @pyladies-bot.bsky.social and @rladies-bot.bsky.social, I enjoy being outdoors. I love running (my first half is coming up! π€), biking and traveling - sometimes together π Very happy to be here and looking forward to the community we have here π
I believe that statistics is not rocket science and that everyone can learn to code - that's why I got more involved with #pyladies and #rladies, founded R-Ladies Cologne and am part of the @rladies.org global team.

If anyone has a reason to hype up language interfaces and LLMs, itβs @inesmontani.bsky.socialβfounder of Explosion, the company behind the Python NLP tools spaCy and Prodigy. But her take? Sometimes, a simple form does the job better. Letβs build more alarm clocks and less automated window knockers!
