In this space we can show off things we've made, want to make, or ask questions about how to get started. No physics/electronics/soldering skills required!

- Hosted by: Lorena Mesa and Angel D'az / @loooorenanicole @angeld_az
- Description: 50% of data work is data wrangling and the other 50% is complaining about data wrangling. Let's bring together our dirty datasets and/or scripts dealing with hard-to-deal-with data. Hopefully, we can draw from these experiences and impart lessons on what we've learned along the way.

Unison treats any pool of networked machines as if they formed a single supercomputer, and lets you program this supercomputer simply and directly. This talk will introduce the Unison language, its type system, runtime, and developer experience, as well as the core ideas that make Unison unique.
