Speaker Rider

Last updated 14 April 2021

What is a speaker rider?

As speaking comes with immense privilege, I have crafted a speaker rider to set expectations and boundaries around my engagement. I am grateful to all the conference organisers who have brilliantly hosted me. I would love to continue to exercise this privilege to speak at conferences, and use this privilege to make the landscape more accessible and beneficial to tech's most historically excluded and marginalised communities.

Considerations

😫 I provide a lot of explanations for those of you who never had to consider these things. Most thoughtful conferences I've attended check most of these boxes intrinsically, particularly when conference runners are experienced speakers. They get it.

How to install PyGrib with ECCodes (Python 3.6.5, Ubuntu 19, 18, 16, RHEL, Lambda, Linux AMI, Docker)

[ last_updated: 07-JAN-2020 ]

Recently I've had to work with Meterological data of the GRIB format. Needless to say, if you're reading this, you probably know how hard it is to get a library that can read them and even harder, setting up those libraries. Pygrib for python is by far the best library for reading grib files but the installation can leave you dizzy

In this tutorial I use Ubuntu 18 and python 3.6.5 virtualenv. Note: You don't have to use virtualenv Python. You can just as well use your system Python 3 however I personally find virtualenv a clean way to deal with these kind of complicated setups (prevents me mucking up my system's Python). This setup should also work with lower and higher Ubuntu versions (as someone below mentioned) and other Linux distros (like RHEL - AWS Linux AMI etc). The key to this installation is to build eccodes correctly (for your machine architecture) and succe
