Like last year the target audience remains the same: anyone that is interested, using, researching, or developing software, for any of these subjects. Anyone can join, you do not have to be affiliated with, or using, packages of JuliaDynamics!
Like last year, the style of the meetings will be the same: the first 20 or so minutes of the meeting will be a presentation by a community member that uses Julia packages in some way to perform applications or research on any of the meeting topics. (and they don’t have to be packages in the JuliaDynamics org either). The remaining of the meeting are open discussions on developement of packages, organization, or anything else.
I am currently organizing the presentations for the meetings! I have collected already some very interesting topics, and I am all ears for any suggestions! If you know of someone that can give a presentation in these meetings let me know here! You can see the list of upcoming speakers, and even suggest your own in the “Potential talks” tab, here:
Meetings start on October and repeat monthly, on the 2nd Friday of each month. Meeting time is 2pm Londom Time (will be posting monthly reminders in this thread as well!)
Will you always follow UTC time, or adapt to changes to daylight saving time? And if so, of which country? Starting in October is fun, since the following meeting will already have a different time in Europe, causing chaos
Also, note that Discourse has this nice way of referencing datetime in a timezone-independent way:
is rendered as 2025-10-10T13:00:00Z (everyone will see it displayed in the local timezone settings of their browser), which avoids any ambiguity for a fixed day+time event.
Damn this has become surprisingly complicated haha Okay, I’ll try to simplify things by saying that the meetings will be occuring at 2pm London time, also following daylight savings. I’ve updated the post above accordingly. But before every meeting I’ll be posting here this very nice discourse automation, so thanks for mentioning it
A reminder that we have the very first meeting this week, with a talk from the community member @MartinuzziFrancesco ! It’s also a good opportunity to discuss a minisymposium!
Hello everyone, reminder of the upcoming meeting this friday happening at:
2025-11-14T14:00:00Z
opening with a talk by Prof. Sergio Roberto Lopez on recurrence microstate analysis (nonlinear timeseries analysis), and then followed by plans to organize a minisymposium targetting same topics as the meetings, so please join and share your thoughts!!!
Ah, now I see it. It seems there is a small inconsistency in the thread. I was influenced by @giordano’s information from his post dated September 14th: “everyone will see [time] displayed in the local timezone settings of their browser” and I was expecting it to be in CET. However, in reality it seems to work a bit differently. I think it’s a bit misleading, as there is no clearly visible indication that the time is shown in UTC, at least it was for me.
we discussed in the meeting organizing a minisymposium broadly named “nonlinear and complex systems”, please do PM me if you are interested in giving a talk there by the end of next week!
Hello everyone and happy new year! Reminder that the first JuliaDynamics meeting of the year happens tomorrow 2pm London time with a talk “Probability space of delay embedding transformations” from Mikhael!
Thanks for the meeting guys and today’s very interesting presentation.
As I indicated today, I sent my contact details to @datseris - if anyone wants to get in touch with me via LinkedIn, e‑mail, or phone, please contact him or reach out to me on Julia Discourse with a direct message.
In general, I believe there must be some form of a private communication channel so the team can be built around the idea of Julia and Dynamical Systems in a more efficient way. Otherwise, George, progress will be very slow and simple tasks like changing the website could take months instead of weeks. Additionally, people will attend meetings selectively without any broader support, I would say, without any team spirit. You might also allocate a bit more time for those meetings, especially at the beginning of the Round 2. I hope you don’t mind me sharing this suggestion publicly.
Wishing you and all participants a Happy New Year!
Thanks for your comments! Yeah the presentation was great!
I wouldn’t be part of such an effort and I won’t spend time building up such a communication channel. It goes against the openness that I’ve built JuliaDynamics around. Furthermore, I don’t see how this would make e.g., “improving the website something” happen faster. On the contrary, such a private communication channel would have an opposite effect, as less people would be seeing such discussions and requests for assistance. That’s my take at least. Of course, if you want to create such a channel you are free to do so! Zulip, which is already used by the Julia community, offers this option.
Sorry, it wasn’t. In an older meeting we have decided that it doesn’t make sense to record these meetings as they are very informal in nature. However in the latest meeting we agreed to start collecting the slides presented in these meetings, and hopefully once a website gets updated, to list them there. For now I will be just collecting them in a folder at the website’s github repo!
Really glad to hear that the collection of sliders has been agreed. I would like, once again, to draw your attention to the private communication channel as suggested above. Such a channel would enable immediate work on the website implementation. Otherwise we are left to wait another month, which significantly slows progress. Also, with all respect to your efforts in building openness around JuliaDynamics, for example, I believe, this conversation is more suited to private discussion than public. Very similar and in line to what was agreed with regard to the meetings recordings. If you decide to consider my proposal again, I suggest utilizing currently used tools like MS Teams or Julia Discourse instead of implementing a new one such as Zulip.
Finally, if anyone is interested in the project I briefly outlined during the latest meeting (Julia + Quantum Computing + Artificial Intelligence + Dynamical Systems), please let me know via direct message. As mentioned, I have also left my contact details at @Datseris. I would like to underline, that as for now, this project is closed source. It might change in the future, however, as for know I believe closed source model is more suitable at this stage.
Thanks again for all the interesting meetings.
P.S. Was it you @Datseris who flagged my previous post, if I may ask? If not, there must be some kind of a systemic problem, perhaps (cc: @moderators).
