Looking forward to seeing you there!

Join R-Ladies Ottawa for a casual evening of programming on Tuesday, January 27th. We'll be participating in TidyTuesday, a weekly data visualization challenge organized by the R for Data Science community.

What is TidyTuesday?

Every week, a new dataset is posted online on the TidyTuesday GitHub repo, and folks from around the world create data visualizations using the dataset. It's an opportunity to put your programming skills into practice using real-world data in a way that's fun! It's also a great way for everyone to learn from each other, by sharing their visualizations and code.

What will the dataset be?

Even we don't know that (yet)! We'll have to wait until the day before the event to know what data we'll be working with. If you're interested in seeing some past datasets, take a look at the examples below, or visit the TidyTuesday GitHub repo to see all of the datasets dating back to 2018.

Examples from past TidyTuesdays:

• Donuts, Data, and D'oh - A Deep Dive into The Simpsons
• Pokemon
• What have we been watching on Netflix?

Do I have to use R?

No! You can use any programming language or visualization software that you want. In fact, Python users from around the globe participate in "TyDyTuesday" on a weekly basis.

Who is this event for?

No previous programming experience is required to participate, and we'll have experienced programmers in the room who can help you get started (or unstuck), if needed.

...But if you want to get the most out of the event, a good way to prepare is to watch the recording of the introduction to data visualization workshop we hosted back in 2024. :)

What should I bring?

• Please bring a laptop so you can code along. We recommend that you have RStudio or another IDE (such as VS Code or Positron) installed ahead of time, but we can help you get one installed if needed!
• Come ready to learn, share, and contribute to a safe and welcoming community!

How will this event work?

• First few minutes of the event: Introductions, and taking a look at the dataset together as a group.
• Time to create a data visualization using the language or software of your choice, either on your own or with a (new) friend! Grab a free snack while you're at it :)
• Last \~30 minutes of the event: Show and tell session for anyone who would like to share their creation with the group.

What else do I need to know?

This event (like all R-Ladies events) is totally FREE to attend.

The event will take place at Bayview Yards, which is located just a few steps away from the Bayview O-Train station. There is also a free parking lot available for those who are driving. You can find us in the "Training Room", which is on the second floor of the Bayview Yards building.

This is an in-person event with limited space! Please only RSVP if you are able to attend in-person!

***Please note that the mission of R-Ladies is to increase gender diversity in the R community. This event is intended to provide a safe space for women and gender minorities. We ask for male allies to be invited by and accompanied by a woman or gender minority.***

We’re grateful to be part of the Bayview Meetups initiative and extend our thanks to Bayview Yards for generously providing the venue space.

Make A Robot with MicroPython

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn the fundamentals of robotics using MicroPython and an ESP32 microcontroller. We’ll guide you through building a simple robot that can light up LEDs and move a handmade part. The workshop covers wiring, coding, and basic motion control principles, which you can later expand to include sensors or APIs.

Important We will provide all required components for in-person participants. Remote participants will receive a shopping list of components and setup instructions in advance.

Agenda: 18:00-18:30 - Registration, food 18:30-20:00 - Workshop 20:00-21:00 - Networking

Give your still good laptop a second life instead of ditching it because Windows 11 says it is no good... Or you heard Linux is cool. If you have a backup of your data, that is great, else indicate that you do not, so we can help you.

Geef je laptop die het nog prima doet een tweede kans in plaats van hem af te schrijven omdat Window 11 dat zegt... Of omdat je hoorde dat Linux gaaf is. Als je al een backup van je data hebt gemaakt is dat perfect. Of verwacht je dat wij dat doen? In dat geval graag aangeven hoe vol je harde schijf nu is...

Every 2 months, we'll visit a company or institute that will host the event and provide talks.

This time, we’re visiting SURF. You may know SURF as the organization behind the Snellius supercomputer, but its role is much broader. SURF is the IT cooperative for education and research in the Netherlands, offering advanced services for computing, storage, networking, and much more.

If you want to get a sense of their work, check out the SURF tag on Tweakers or visit their website at surf.nl.

The talks are the following:

1. Short intro to Quantum Computing, by David Maier (SURF), 4 minutes
2. FPGAs in HPC, by Mohsen Safari (SURF), 30 minutes
3. Running CUDA on AMD GPUs (without using HIP), by Chris Kitching (Spectral Compute), 30 minutes

For those who visited the previous meetup at Stream HPC, you already know what to expect: deep dives into technical subjects, snacks and drinks, and enough time to socialize.

Important Would you like to join the Data Center tour at SURF before the event? Please register below. Please note that the registration closes on 14.01.26 at 17:00. The Data Center tour will start at 15:30 sharp. [registration link]

Session Abstract Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem.

We’ll break down key Spark concepts like distributed computing, DataFrames, and lazy evaluation, then show how they come to life inside Fabric’s notebook experience. You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines.

You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit.

Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required.

*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.

Industry 4.0 and digital transformation is causing a shift in the risk model for industrial security as the data produced by operations becomes as valuable (or more valuable) than the actual operations. An example could be an electric utility that discounts the cost of electricity as incentive to get permission to use some (or all) of the operations and usage data.

The value of the electrons is essentially fixed where the value of the operational data is virtually unlimited. This creates an opportunity for additional profit potential for creation and sale of data products in addition to the electric power to the customer.

As the organizational profit center shifts to include operational assets as well as operational data and its path outside of the operational environment, so does the risk.

In this presentation, learn how to secure your modern/future industrial organization from the industrial process to the operational data products and beyond.

(CS)²AI Online™ Replay: Navigating Vulnerability Disclosures in an ICS Environment, a BADALLOC Case Study

Based on a real world event, this forum will share their personal thoughts and experiences when a supplier discovered and disclosed a vulnerability within an operating system (RTOS). We will explore the evaluation from initial RTOS risk rating to OEM evaluation techniques and messaging of recommendation to end ICS users. We will review evaluation of a vulnerability with no known exploits and discuss how tomorrow's threat landscape is going to require deep and detailed forensics, with a strong vendor/OEM partnership to provide guidance to end-users.

With the increasing connectivity of industrial systems comes the benefits of productivity, operational efficiency and process control. This connectivity also creates potential opportunity for cyber criminals to gain access to critical infrastructure systems and industrial control systems (ICS).

Safeguards against this increasing threat landscape include people, process and technical controls to mitigate and balance the risk against reliability, availability and maintainability of the asset. A key tenant to this equation is vulnerability / incident response for the ICS environment where “patching” is not as common as IT systems and at times, not an immediate option for technical or procedural reasons.

(CS)²AI Online™ Replay: Navigating Vulnerability Disclosures in an ICS Environment, a BADALLOC Case Study

Based on a real world event, this forum will share their personal thoughts and experiences when a supplier discovered and disclosed a vulnerability within an operating system (RTOS). We will explore the evaluation from initial RTOS risk rating to OEM evaluation techniques and messaging of recommendation to end ICS users. We will review evaluation of a vulnerability with no known exploits and discuss how tomorrow's threat landscape is going to require deep and detailed forensics, with a strong vendor/OEM partnership to provide guidance to end-users.

With the increasing connectivity of industrial systems comes the benefits of productivity, operational efficiency and process control. This connectivity also creates potential opportunity for cyber criminals to gain access to critical infrastructure systems and industrial control systems (ICS).

Safeguards against this increasing threat landscape include people, process and technical controls to mitigate and balance the risk against reliability, availability and maintainability of the asset. A key tenant to this equation is vulnerability / incident response for the ICS environment where “patching” is not as common as IT systems and at times, not an immediate option for technical or procedural reasons.
