Atlanta Area Tech Community Groups and Meetups

ATL Tech Tastings focus on intimate networking events for people in and around software development. We focus on events that revolve around tastings and meeting new people in a relaxed environment. If you’re tired of mechanically handing out business cards after sitting through the same rehashed presentation, skip the small talk and enjoy some great drinks with us.

The Atlanta User Experience Group (AUX) brings together members of the UX community. From information architects to designers to coders, this group provides a place for UX professionals to meet new people, exchange ideas, learn new things, and have a good experience (pun intended).

If you are not a UX professional, don't worry, we have something for you, too! UX is an approach to experience marketing -- creating an experience that keeps the user's needs & motivations in mind at all times. This happens when designing a website, product, marketing campaign or even face-to-face sales.

The Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts (formerly GA 400 Linux Group) was been started to allow the casual to advanced Linux users to get together and share ideas, knowledge, and face-time with other Linux users. We're focused on helping beginning and returning Linux users learn the basics by establishing a solid foundation. We'll discuss distributions, file systems and storage, installation, databases, networking, and more!

Welcome to the group. We’re excited to bring you the latest happenings in AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science and Big Data.

Who are we? We’re H2O.ai (https://www.h2o.ai/), creators of the world’s leading open source deep learning and machine learning platform, used by more than 90,000 data scientists and 9,000 organizations around the world.

A monthly Meetup, typically held three times each month on Thursdays at lunchtime, discussing WordPress from the developer, user and business owner perspectives. We'll spend 20-30 minutes presenting the latest topic and giving you hands-on ideas to incorporate, and the rest of the time will be spent working with each other on the daily topic or any other WordPress or social media issue that you might have.

We at Manheim have some of the best Atlanta software engineers, SDETs and BAs. To give back to the community we will facilitate discussions about some of the most powerful technologies we use, from languages, frameworks, pipelining and continuous delivery to name a few.

People who can join us are other software engineers, SDETs and BAs who want to keep their skills sharp. If you care about your craft and want to share what you've learned, join us!

Our activities can vary from session to session, including presentations on specific technologies, panel discussions about conferences we attended, or we can bring in speakers from some of our vendors or sister companies like AutoTrader.com. We hope to create a community that fosters learning and networking.

What is this meetup not for?

Recruiting and sales! We don't do it and we don't allow recruiting agencies and/or other companies to do it.

Learn, Collaborate & Dockerize! Meet other developers and ops engineers in your community that are using and learning about Docker. Docker is an open platform that helps you build, ship and run applications anytime and anywhere. Developers use Docker to modify code and to streamline application development, while operations gain support to quickly and flexibly respond to their changing needs. Docker ensures agility, portability and control for all your distributed apps.

Docker is also the main sponsor of the Moby Project, an open framework to assemble specialized container systems without reinventing the wheel. More information available at http://mobyproject.org/

Learn more about the Docker Community at https://www.docker.com/docker-community

ProductTank provides an opportunity for Product Managers in Atlanta to exchange ideas and experiences about Product Design, Development and Management, Business Modelling, Metrics, User Experience and all the other things that get us excited.

Events include talks from guest speakers on topics around product management, networking opportunities, and a good old-fashioned chin-wag over a beer or two.

We're open to companies big and small. We also welcome early-stage technology businesses looking to learn how to get their ideas off the ground.

We also have a blog and encourage the community to get engaged by commenting on or writing new posts for http://www.mindtheproduct.com

Finally, check out our conference: http://mtpcon.com

Deep learning is everywhere now. Every time you do a Google search, you are using a trained deep learning model. Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently asserted that if the last decade was about ‘mobile-first’, then the next decade will be about ‘AI-first’. Within the larger artificial intelligence and machine learning domains, ‘deep learning’ is where many of the most significant innovations are occurring - self-driving cars, self-organizing drone swarms, computer vision, conversational interfaces, gene editing, emotion recognition, etc.,

Deep learning will impact nearly every industry on the planet, and there will be countless opportunities to take advantage of this technology. While most people who are aware of deep learning think of it as the domain of data scientists and mathematicians, it takes skilled software engineers to implement deep learning models as practical software in real-world systems.

This meetup aims to make deep learning accessible to anyone who has an interest in it - data scientists, software engineers, tech-savvy entrepreneurs, students, etc., Everyone is welcome, so come join us!

The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires.

Journalists call themselves "hacks," someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds.

This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. In the age of information overload, all their work has become even more crucial.

This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures.
