PyMC Open Source Development

In this episode of Open Source Directions, we were joined by Thomas Wiecki once again who talked about the work being done with PyMC. PyMC3 is a Python package for Bayesian statistical modeling and Probabilistic Machine Learning focusing on advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI) algorithms. Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a large suite of problems.

Open Source Databases

We had a very fun and engaging chat with Matt Yonkovit who is the Chief Experience Officer at Percona, a service provider for open source databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and RocksDB. Matt has worked as a database architect for 10 years before transitioning into consulting roles at both MySQL and Sun Microsystems. In total, he’s been working with databases and open source for nearly 25 years.
