in the spirit of gathering we're here at
a Convention Center to have a conference
in person which is weird
um but very very exciting so thank you
all for being here today
and we are really excited to present the
Friday specialist tracks to you all
before we get into this I wanted to do a
better housekeeping just so you know

we're at you know about our rules and so
on and so forth
um but welcome
you made it
and for those of you online thank you

um thank you also for wearing a mask you
can see that I'm not wearing one this is
one of very few exceptions to wearing a
mask at this event is if you're on the
stage doing the talkie thingy
um but besides that thank you so much
for doing this wearing a mask at events
like this one helps us to make sure that
all of our community can attend this
more safely
and participate in in this environment
and in this event so thank you so much
for following our policy and if you have
any questions about it it's up here
pycon.org covert and you will also see
posters around the place please remember

you are wearing one
um and keep that on while you're indoors
during the event thank you so much
we also have a safety team and a code of
conduct which they will be helping us

agreed to it in order to get a ticket to
come here we want to ensure that this is
a physically safe and an emotionally
safe place for everybody to come and
attend and learn some cool stuff
I really recommend that if you haven't
actually taken the time to read the code
of conduct that you do so it is on the
website uh
website safety you can go there and it's
also on the back of your badge if at any
time during the event you feel unsafe or
you want to report anything you can
contact a member of the safety team they
will be wearing red badges so you'll be

good time
well
with that I also want to be aware of how
we are speaking at this event I feel
like um you know we have we have
mentioned this at many of our events but
it's also worth reiterating
um we're at a python conference that
doesn't mean that we're going to talk
down at any other languages that's not
what we do
we are a programming language conference
a lot of people here are programmers and
coders and have had a lot of experience
with a lot of different languages and
Technologies
um including ones that you may not think
are as good as other ones and as part of
all of that
we need to make sure that we are
speaking respectfully about all of those
things we we don't Trash Talk other
communities or assume that people here
are not programmers or make jokes at the
expense of other people or other
programming languages or anything like
that
this is a slide you may want to scan
take a photograph of whatever you need
if you were at the venue and if you are
not at the venue it's just you know
environmental color we have Wi-Fi
it's there feel free to connect to it it

there are also some voice chats if you
would like to voice chat and that will
be one of the places where you are able
to socialize with everybody
there's also friendly which is a new
thing we have this year
um you can scan this QR code and go
there or you can if you don't like QR
codes you can type that URL and go there
as well
um this is to help meet other
like-minded conference attendees if you
would like to do so you can share your
interests there and figure out how you
might want to connect with other people
who have those same interests if you're
not certain how to do that because I
don't know about you but I have
forgotten how to talk to other people
and so this may help I actually don't
know that I haven't knew how to do that
it will help
so please go there and sign up
this will be also useful if you want to
organize any social things and feel free
to do that preferably in small groups so
that hopefully not all of us are wiped
out with illnesses by the end

and of course we can't run this event
without the logistical and financial
support of Linux Australia so thank you
so much to Linux Australia for your
support you're on here to make this
event happen
today is the specialist track day and
we're doing it a bit differently this
year we have an opening plenary session
which is why you're all in the big room
to start
um but before we get to our exciting
speaker for this morning I wanted to
give each of the specialist track
specials tracks a chance to come and
introduce the tracks what they're about
and what you can do while you're there
first off all things data who's
representing data yeah
going up
yeah come over here
yeah
okay
the amount of data in our lives is
increasing rapid pace and there is no
sign of that slowing down
so but uh what's the point of having so
much data if you don't analyze it if you
don't examine it so well python comes to
the rescue because that's the number one
language
um in the realm of data and python can
bring data to life you can transform
data with data engineering you can plot
game plot for visual Clarity because a
picture is worth a thousand words and in
analysis it can honor hidden treasures
and also can be employed in scientific
Computing to advance Fields like
medicine
environment and engineering
and also python helps to navigate the
world like with GIS
and has the power to revolutionalize
with artificial intelligence
so python conference cannot go without a
data track that's why we are gonna have
a specialist track for data
so this year's highlights
the organizing committee recognized this
significance of the current AI Surge and
its ethical implications
that's why we have a combining kickoff
uh We've addressed uh from Dr rosenbaugh
on a talk on a talk on creating a more
ethical AI roads
that's not only that I'm just gonna
quickly run through so to all the topics
in data that we are gonna took over
we're gonna have a big coverage of GIS
with a full stack example of a GIS
application
uh gis2kit for data science managing
massive amount of data of satellite data
in data engineering we are going to have
an end-to-end pipeline in Python
beginner guides for pi Spark
ensuring that our contracts are
increased the Streamline collaboration
in between engineering teams
data analysis insights uh analysis of
stack Overflow survey 3D visualizations
and finally machine learning talk in
about talking about monitoring machine
learning application so that's all
participate ask questions and then not
always the best part of the conference
are in the auditorium maybe sometimes
it's outside so Mingo meets people thank
you
all right uh next up our connected
universe
also best hair of the conference
there's still opportunity to find
stylists in Adelaide if anyone wants to
compete for that award
Hello friends I'm Jack I'm one of the
co-organizers of the our connected
Universe track AKA all things about apis
uh it's a track born out of enthusiasm
for apis where they're built where
they're maintained
where they're abused no no definitely
not misusing apis it came out of a
conversation I had with my
co-conspirator Chris technician can you
give us a wave down the front here and
the two of us love all things apis and
hair care so if either of those two
topics are of interest to you come and
join us in in room B

um uh you've all maybe learned to
program was it great was it terrible was
it somewhere in between do you have
opinions
do you want to know other people's
opinions
um and maybe some science to back it up
and a lot of in classroom whether that's
School University code clubs everything
in between experience to learn about how
to do this well we're going to have
fantastic talks on how to educate how to
be educated how to check that you've
learned anything all of that cool stuff
but the one thing that I will
additionally highlight is
the student showcase so there are some
fantastic high school students some of
whom are in the room right now who are
going to give talks at this afternoon at
3 30 after afternoon tea Break
um you should all come along seriously
this is the Highlight you're going to

um all fantastic and except wonderful
things that we thoroughly endorse
um come along it's fantastic uh you will
learn so much there is one big Topic in
the education field that I haven't
mentioned and that is AI and what on
Earth is happening and what we're all
doing it and that's why we are
ridiculously excited to have Dr J
Rosenbaum give an educationally AI
relevant
talk plenary right now thank you very
almost right now almost right now almost
