Create an engaging tech-related blog image. The backdrop should be a sleek modern gradient blue and white, invoking an atmosphere of trust and professionalism. In the center, prominently place the Pandas logo (a friendly panda face), alongside the Python logo. Surround these with subtly incorporated elements for ETL and Machine Learning: icons of gears for ETL, bar charts, and line plots for EDA, and a small neural network diagram for ML. To the side, ensure the Asciinema logo (a terminal screen icon with a play button) is visible but does not overshadow the Pandas design. Perhaps near this, include small terminal session illustrations or a command line snippet. Indicate the Google Colab environment with a small cloud icon, possibly with an arrow pointing at it for an upload/download concept. Finally, balance these design elements, leaving enough whitespace to keep the design clean and approachable, and consider using light, translucent overlays to accentuate key logos.

Python's Pandas Data Frames

Presented By: Robert Citek

Your gateway to Extract-Transform-Load ( ETL ) & Machine Learning ( ML ).

Embark on a beginner-friendly exploration of a powerful library that turns raw data into a playground for insights. In this introductory talk, we'll demonstrate how Pandas can help with the Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes, shed light on your data with its Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) methods, and get started with Machine Learning (ML).

#### Agenda:

##### * Getting Started with ETL:

Learn the foundations of extracting, loading, and transforming data with Pandas.

Discover how Pandas simplifies the initial steps of preparing your data.

##### * Playful Exploration with EDA:

Take a casual stroll through your data with Pandas' user-friendly Exploratory Data Analysis tools.

Get acquainted with simple yet powerful techniques to understand your dataset.

##### * A Peek into Machine Learning with Pandas:

Dip your toes into the world of ML as we showcase how Pandas contributes to the early stages of the ML journey.

Explore basic concepts of data preparation for ML tasks.

##### * Hands-On with Google Colab:

Immerse yourself in practical examples using Google Colab.

Experience the simplicity and collaborative nature of working with Pandas in a cloud-based environment.

##### * Why Attend:

Perfect for beginners exploring data manipulation and analysis.

Gain familiarity with using Pandas for your initial data tasks.

Save, Share, and Replay Your Terminal Sessions With Asciinema

Presented By: Sean Twiehaus

Asciinema is a free and open source solution for recording terminal sessions and sharing them on the web. Similar to script and scriptreplay.

Similar to last month's **script replay** BASE topic; but, with some really neat features.

Meeting Agenda

At 6:00p.m. Central Time the meeting opens. Participants are encouraged to join at this time to if they need to test their microphone, screen sharing, and video camera.

At 6:30p.m. Central Time we begin with our BASE presentation. The BASE presentation is intended to be an introductory level session ( often focused on personal computing ); which may include either amazing graphical packages, blinking lights, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, displays of newly discovered web sites, major resolution of long standing anomalies, quantum discoveries, smoke and mirrors, superb tutorials, or shifts in both time and space.

At 7:00p.m. Central Time we attempt a quick welcome, introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP (Questions and Answers) segment.

At 7:15p.m. Central Time the MAIN presentation begins. The MAIN presentation is intended to be something more advanced, detailed, important, new, profound, significant, timely or useful and is often focused on enterprise computing.
