**Welcome to FPGA/ASIC Meetup Sydney!** Open to anyone working with or interested in FPGAs, ASICs, and embedded systems, whether in industry, studying, building projects, or just curious. No gatekeeping 😎 This is a casual evening focused on meeting others in the space. No talks or presentations, just good conversation over a drink. We’ll be upstairs at the Botany View Hotel. There are beers on tap and great pub food. See you there!

Codelo Time: Open Source - Engineering socials

From 5.00pm, we will just socialise and shit-talk. At or around 7.00pm we will have a guest talk for around 30 minutes. This session's talk is from my good friend, Filip Gudov. Filip is a data scientist with 10+ years in the industry. He started in marketing data science before moving to investment management and trading. He's going to talk about optimal budget allocation, what the 'science' means in 'data science' or maybe spooky action at a distance. Not sure. This room is pretty limiting, so get in quick!
