PyData Seattle x OSS - Meetup

PyData Seattle × OSS is a community series bringing together data, AI, and open-source practitioners to learn, build, and collaborate around real-world open-source projects.

The meetup will feature technical talks, hands-on workshops, project showcases, maintainer conversations, and opportunities for contributors to work directly with open-source communities. Topics may span Python and the modern data stack, ML/AI infrastructure, agentic systems, evaluation, developer tooling, responsible AI, and emerging OSS projects.

The goal is to go beyond talks and create a pathway from learning → contributing → maintaining → leading. Whether you are an experienced OSS maintainer, an industry practitioner, researcher, or someone looking to make your first open-source contribution, the series is designed to help people find projects, collaborators, mentors, and meaningful problems to work on.

We also want to connect Seattle’s strong technology ecosystem with the broader open-source community—bringing together engineers, researchers, startups, established companies, and OSS foundations around practical collaboration.
