About Data Umbrella
Data Umbrella is a non-profit global community for underrepresented persons in data science. We organize online data science events for the community. All levels are welcome, beginners and experts. Our Code of Conduct applies to all of our spaces.

Data Umbrella Impact
Gloria Macia did a 5-minute lightning talk at PyData London where she shares her experience contributing to open source and participating in Data Umbrella’s Latin America scikit-learn sprint.
Gloria also won the award for the best lightning talk at PyData London. Check out her prize, a Python! Check out this Twitter post & LinkedIn post.

Introduction to Front-end Development with React
This talk will introduce attendees to React, a free and open source JavaScript-based library that encourages declarative component-based development of user interfaces (UI). We will start with covering the basic concepts of front-end web development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before learning how to leverage React to simplify creation of interactive web UIs. This talk will conclude with a recap of what we've learned together and recommendations for continuing to learn about front-end web development and React.
Software Engineering for Probabilistic Programming
Our goal is to provide a holistic introduction to Bayesian modeling for data scientists as well as to demonstrate best practices for Bayesian data analysis and prediction. We use the Stan probabilistic programming language and inference engines to do inference, and the plotnine package for visualization. Applied statistical modeling starts with the question we are trying to answer and the available data. We must understand both the data and the analysis goals before proceeding to model building. We use the Stan probabilistic programming language and inference engine to build and fit our models, via modern Python interface CmdStanPy, and we use the Python package plotnine for visualization.

Serving PyTorch Models in Production (Nidhin Pattaniyil)
This talk is for a data scientist or ML engineer looking to serve their PyTorch models in production. It will cover post training steps that should be taken to optimize the model such as quantization and torch script. It will also walk the user in packaging and serving the model through Facebook's TorchServe.
How Data Scientists Can Contribute to Wikimedia Projects
During this session, Diego Saez-Trumper and Emily Lescak from the Wikimedia Foundation Research team will discuss the history and structure of the Wikimedia Foundation and how the data science community can contribute to Wikimedia projects.
Exploring Open Source Sprint Data via a Python Plotly Dashboard
In this talk, we will interpret open source sprint data presented using a Python Plotly Dashboard. We will learn how the dashboard presentation permits extended perspectives of data with multiple dimensions.
