The posters are ready, the broadcast is live, and our next Python Ireland meetup lineup is officially locked in! 🚀 We have two incredible (and a 3rd one TBA), uniquely different talks lined up for this edition. Whether you want to dive deep into neural networks or fix your job-hunting mindset using feline logic, we’ve got you covered. Here is what is on the agenda: 🧠 Talk 1: Generating Images Using Neural Networks Brian MacCarvill will walk us through a notebook that trains a neural network to de-noise images from the fashion MNIST dataset, and then use it to generate completely new images out of static noise. Speaker: Brian MacCarvill (Researcher, Masters in Statistics, owner of a cute dog) 🐾 Talk 2: Career Advice From My Cat Rose Farrell is bringing 12 years of tech recruitment expertise to give you a surprisingly practical look at job hunting. While humans tie themselves in knots overthinking interviews, her cat has mastered absolute confidence, handling rejection, and knowing his worth. If you are a graduate, career changer, or chronic overthinker, you won't want to miss this. 🐈 Speaker: Rose Farrell (Tech Recruiter, community advocate) 📍 Venue & Sponsor: A massive thank you to MongoDB for hosting and sponsoring us at their beautiful space!

Happy to see you liked the event Marek Culak Hope to see you more in future events.
Open source is dead. Um, no it's not. It holds value of 9trilion of dollars. On open source software, the whole IT stands. rom Linux that is running on bilions of devices (android) up to any other software that people might take for granted to be available. Python is open sourced, available... Docker, Kubernetes as well as over a hundred projects in CNCF. And lot more by linux foundation or pytorch foundation... 39 car brands uses curl at least somewhere, which is completely free to use. But which of them is contributing or supporting? None. This might be stretched out but it outlines the under-support from commercial use. Ever heard of open-core? I never heard this before, but I did seen the business model. It is about giving out a "demo" version, usually called community edition. Than there is the enterprise edition which is paid and licensed over extra features of proprietary code. Some of the great news exist, oss like Libreoffice has started to be used by Denmark government. This is next episode on attending tech #meetups in Dublin, specifficaly this one is about #PythonIreland hosted by #Pinterest. Main topic was about #open_source practices, how to contribute what it is and all around brought to us by Dominik Kawka and Ananya Nalavathu. Thanks for all the thoughts. They also mentioned some good practices doing open source. It's all about building the community that comes together and works on the project. Making it easy for new-comers by making a good comprehensive contributions.md file, managing the project governance and keeping up contribution ladder. By keeping issues labelled "good first issue". Another way to keep open doors for new people. Other green flags are those to show real activity, responsiveness. Red flags mentioned are simply no green flags. Other than that, low activity. Very little documentation. And no the code itself isn't the documentation. Something that stands out is keeping is one single point of control. Lately I've been considering on contributing to open sourced projects and possibly leveraging my DevOps skills. This wouldn't only make an impact but improve my own skills. If you made it to the end, did you ever made open source contributions?

What a night! 🚀 Last week, we brought the Python Ireland community together at Pinterest Dublin, and the energy was absolutely unmatched. A massive shout-out to our two incredible speakers, Ananya Nalavathu and Dominik Kawka. They completely crushed it, totally reigniting that community spirit and getting everyone hyped up about diving into open source. 🤝 Honestly, we were completely blown away by the turnout. The room was packed, the conversations were brilliant, and it was the perfect mix of learning something new and just having a great time with a brilliant crowd. 🙌 Huge thanks to Pinterest (Barry Carroll and Dayana D.) for hosting us and to everyone who showed up to support!

We had a great time too, hope to see you more going ahead.
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending the June Python Ireland meetup, hosted at Pinterest, featuring the talk “Decoding Open Source: How to Find Your First (Healthy) Community” by Dominik Kawka and Ananya Nalavathu. The session offered valuable insights into the open source world. The talk highlighted the many ways people can contribute, both technically and non‑technically. It was a great reminder of how much we all rely on open source every day, and how meaningful it can be to give back whenever we can ❤. A big thank you to the organisers, speakers, and everyone who attended. The welcoming atmosphere made the evening especially memorable 😊. #PythonIreland #OpenSource #Python

We enjoyed hosting you Ananya Nalavathu . Hope to see more talks from you in future. 🙌🙌
I had a really good time at the Python Ireland monthly meetup yesterday! met a bunch of fellow developers and just had those easy, genuine tech conversations that remind you why you started coding in the first place. we also spoke about how to find good open-source communities and get started hopefully it made that whole “where do I even begin?” feeling a little easier. and can we talk about the Pinterest Dublin office?? 😭 I’ve seen it in pictures so many times but actually being there hits different. every corner literally feels like it was designed with care super cozy, aesthetic, and very “Pinterest” in real life too. Big thanks to the Python Ireland team for having me and Dominik over 🙌 and honestly, huge shoutout to Dominik Kawka for all the prep + support before the talk made everything way smoother than it would’ve been otherwise. Looking forward to more meetups like this more people, more learning, more sharing.

Hi everyone, Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the Python Ireland meetup at the Pinterest offices. Dominik Kawka and Ananya Nalavathu told us how open source works, along with its advantages and disadvantages, and gave us some best practices. They encouraged us to contribute to open source projects due to their high impact on the tech world. I met a lot of people in tech and had a great time talking about different technologies.

🐍 We’re delighted to announce PyCon Ireland 2026! For over a decade, Python Ireland has brought our community together to learn, share and celebrate everything Python. This year, we’re back at Trinity College Dublin on 17 October 2026 for a full day of talks, workshops and the friendly atmosphere our conference is known for. 📢 Our Call for Proposals is now open, and we’d love to hear from you. PyCon Ireland has always been built by its community, for its community. Whether you’re stepping onto a conference stage for the very first time or you’re a seasoned speaker, there’s a place for your talk here. This year we’re shining a light on two themes close to our community’s heart: 🔒 Python Security: secure coding, supply chain, threat modelling 🤖 AI with Python: LLMs, agentic AI, RAG, responsible engineering …and the door is wide open to everything else: data science, scientific computing, open source, automation, hardware, education, and the creative projects that make our community what it is. A few things worth knowing: • Up to 3 proposals per person • First-time speakers are warmly encouraged • Financial aid up to €350 is available, so cost is never a barrier to taking part 📝 Submit your proposal before 30 August: https://lnkd.in/dpPviunD 🔗 Everything about the conference: https://2026.pycon.ie/ 💚 New to Python Ireland?
