We’re proud and lucky to have a thriving community of enthusiastic Plotly users. Plotly Community Manager Adam Schroeder started a new initiative called “Plotly Hangouts”. The casual session will occur every month and feature an interactive interview with a Plotly Community member with live audience Q&A. (Think of it as a virtual fireside chat!)

February’s session will feature Austin Kiesewetter, a prolific Plotly community member and a key contributor of Plotly Dash community components. With extensive experience and active development in open source, Austin will share:

  • Usage of open source Plotly and Dash in multiple fields of work
  • Impact of Dash Enterprise on Austin’s work and company
  • Demo of Plotly Dash community components built by Austin

Don’t miss this chance to connect with the community and learn from Austin’s expertise!
