    Episode 11 - A Year in Review

    This month we thought we would take a break from our usual episode format and have ourselves as the guests. Listen to us reflect on our year volunteering with PyDataMCR. We talk about what we did this year, including Google Next! We also talk a little about learning to rank. We realise this is an insider view, so this months meetup will be an open retro so have a think about what you want from next year. Request: If you know about recording events for YouTube, and can help us out, feel free to dm us (see our social channels below).
