Hey all! Inspired by the JuliaHealth meetings I am going to be organizing and coordinating monthly meetings for the general topic:

### **Dynamical systems, complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, and nonlinear timeseries analysis in/with Julia.**

_ **Please vote preferred days and timeslots at the end of the post!** _

Anyone interested is welcomed to join these meetings! My guess is that the majority of participants will be either members of, or users of, the JuliaDynamics GitHub org, so I’ll name them **“JuliaDynamics Meeting”** to parallel the JuliaHealth Meetings. But to be clear, there is no necessity for the participants to be members nor users of the org!

The idea for these meetings is to be recurring every month and be a maximum of 1 hour long.

In the start of most meetings there will be a **short (max 20 mins) academic or industry talk that utilizes some Julia software under this umbrella topic**. This talk is not a mandatory component of the meetings, but I’ve collected about 20 or so speakers already so we can keep the talks going for a while!

The remaining ~40 minutes will be composed of some agenda that I’ll be (trying to) set up before the meetings. Here is a list of things possible within the meetings (and feel free to add more suggestions):

- Just a place for people to meet each other and introduce themselves in real time.
- Small talks introducing a new package or a new feature in a package.
- Technical talks on some code implementation in some package that could be of general use or interest.
- Ideas for development or interfaces that increase communication across packages.
- Organizational stuff on packages: some important issues to be solved, things that need work in terms of docs, upcoming projects, blog posts, tutorials, …
- Open discussion and open questions.
- New features we’d like to have
- whatever else you want!!!

**I’ll be doing my best to schedule the talks in the meetings so that there is an alternation: one month focuses on nonlinear dynamics (e.g., DynamicalSystems.jl, nonlinear timeseries analysis, SciML stuff, …) and the next month focuses on complex systems (e.g., Agents.jl, NetworkDynamics.jl, agent based modelling, networks, …).**

If you are interested to join these meetings then:

1. Please say so in this thread. Please also say whether you are interested to be a regular of the meeting, or you want to give a talk, or you may come by once in a while. It is also completely fine if you want to join for the talks at the start, and then exit the meeting after the talks!
2. Pick your preferred day/time in the voting poll below. **The meetings will be in the 3rd X day of the month each month. We are starting September 2024!**
3. Suggest more speakers for the academic/industry talk part of the meeting. I have started a work in progress google spreadsheet where you can add suggestions, use the [Science Talk Sheet of this Google Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19MrgrHdhy6r1x8OUS-B3Gj1WEMIAToCNRabBimCzuCk/edit?usp=sharing). And of course feel free to suggest your own self!!!

In the latest JuliaCon I realized that are a lot of people doing very cool stuff with packages from JuliaDynamics, and there are also many other cool projects outside this particular GitHub org. So my hope with these meetings is to have a coordinated effort to promote the cool stuff the community is doing, increase the coordination and collaboration between different projects, and have a place we can also just meet and chat casually on either code or science. In this way we also increase accessibility as new members can hop in the meetings to introduce themselves or discuss problems or needs they have!

We also have the opportunity to put recordings of the meeting on the JuliaLang YouTube channel, however, we should discuss this in our first meeting as I can completely understand a participant not being okay with this!

## Please vote!

Meetings will happen on the 3rd “X” day of each month! X will be:

Please also indicate the timeslots that are suitable for you! Assuming CET timezone:

thanks a lot for joining the meeting! I am really amazed by how fruitful it was! It goes to show how useful these meetings are!

I am posting here one of the most actionable things that came out of the meeting! We want to update the JuliaDynamics website, which currently has spider webs all over it! If you have ideas post them here: [Update the website!!! · Issue #48 · JuliaDynamics/JuliaDynamics · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaDynamics/JuliaDynamics/issues/48)

We resume next month with the monthly meetings that will also feature a short science talk!!!

EDIT: And remember, if you have items you want to discuss, or speakers you want to invite (including your own self) please write them in the meeting document: [JuliaDynamics Montlhy Meetings - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19MrgrHdhy6r1x8OUS-B3Gj1WEMIAToCNRabBimCzuCk/edit?usp=sharing) !!!

Hi, is there _JuliaDynamics Meeting_ planned for this month? I’d like to ask, where is the best place to check for the dates and times?

Hi There,

Yes it is! Last one was cancelled because of being too close to the holidays, but the next one takes place as usual. Dates and times are fixed for the rest of the foresable future, see the top post here. Every 3rd Friday of the month at pm CET. You can find out more here: [JuliaDynamics Monthly Meetings - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19MrgrHdhy6r1x8OUS-B3Gj1WEMIAToCNRabBimCzuCk/edit?usp=sharing)

Hi all reminder that this Friday we have another JuliaDynamics meeting and the community member @Fliks will give a very interesting talk on using timeseries analysis to analyze forest data!

The meeting is also a good opportunity to talk about GSoC: i’ve had good experiences with GSoC so other devs in the org may want to consider putting up projects in the JuliaDynamics GSoC page: [Dynamical systems, complex systems & nonlinear dynamics – Summer of Code](https://julialang.org/jsoc/gsoc/juliadynamics/)

Yes, I am going to talk a bit about our experience in using Recurrence Quantification Analysis to analyse Sentinel-1 time series data to detect forest change. The code I am going to talk about is mainly in [GitHub - EarthyScience/RQADeforestation.jl: Sentinel-1 based deforestation detection written in Julia](http://github.com/EarthyScience/RQADeforestation.jl)

Could you add the general meeting time and place to the first post in this thread? This would make it easier to find it again.

I cannot edit the first post anymore, it is too long in the past. The solution assigned to the first post however, which is post #4 here, has the meeting time, day, and join link:
