I am posting this here, in case it is relevant for those of the Stan community who are active in Julia. I hope it is an appropriate post; otherwise, I of course apologise.
The young JuliaBayes organisation is having its first online community meeting on November 18, 15-17 Swiss time, and this community is of course very welcome. JuliaBayes is a social infrastructure for Bayesian inference software in Julia that is not PPL-specific not inference method specific (we are for example implementing regression modelling and Bayesian workflow methods than can be used with different backends, including Stan or Julia’s Turing.jl). I thought it was worthwhile making sure you knew you were welcome!
Agenda:
- Round of introductions
- Overview of related communities and ongoing projects
- Governance, organisation structure, and funding thoughts
- Election of a Council
- Next steps
