VT WiMLDS

Burlington, VT

VT WiMLDS

This group is for people interested in Machine Learning and Data Science. It is intended to provide engaging, hands-on experiences in these branches of information technology for beginners and experts alike. By holding one another accountable for our own educational goals, we can create a synergistic network of students, practitioners, and enthusiasts.

Our mission is to support and promote women and gender minorities who are practicing, studying or are interested in the fields of machine learning and data science. The international WiMLDS organization is intended to supplement successful local meetups to connect women and gender minorities with others in the field locally and nationally. Read more about them at http://wimlds.org.

It has been noted in queer and gender-fluid literature, as well as in our own community, that the word 'women' can sometimes feel alienating for people who are non-binary or female-identifying transgender. In 2020, we have changed the spelling of 'women' in our meetup group title to 'womxn': this is a term that has been used increasingly in common parlance since c. 2015 to support an intersectional feminist perspective that is more inclusive to the community we serve.

You can view the WiMLDS International Code of Conduct here: https://github.com/WiMLDS/starter-kit/wiki/Code-of-conduct

If you have questions in the interim, feel free to contact Jane Adams at jane[at]universalities[dot]com or @janeadams on the BTVdev Slack channel.

Green Mountain Writers Group | ZOOM

Underhill, VT

Green Mountain Writers Group | ZOOM
Writers collaborating to improve their skills through workshops and learning events... • **WORKSHOPS:** Join with other writers from around the blue planet on Zoom as we discuss and work to perfect our writing every Friday morning, open to any genre: fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, nonfiction, memoir, flash, poetry, or screenplay. Stephen Kastner encourages emerging writers to join the Friday Open Genre Workshop for engaging MFA style discussions with a small, private and select tribe of writers willing to read and review each other's work in a creative test bed. We host the Poetry and Performance workshop with Darlene Witte on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month • **PUBLICATIONS:** The **[Green Mountain Writers Group](https://greenmountainwriters.com/)** (GMWG) publishes a website TO facilitate our workshop events, and an online journal featuring works developed by our workshop participants. In 2023, we released our first print publication, a compilation of GMWB Members' poems, *Poetry & Performance – Volume 1*. **NOW TWO FLAVORS OF GMWG:** I just acquired the former Burlington Writers Workshop Meetup Group after Peter Bielo recently abandoned it. After more than two years of no activity, I have the chance to rebuild and restore our group. There are 2,734 existing members. I plan to restore live meetings in person, in the city, that we sadly lost when COVID struck three years ago. I changed our Meetup name to **Green Mountain Writers Group \| LIVE** ([https://www.meetup.com/burlington-writers](https://www.meetup.com/burlington-writers?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1Qfh4KK8WMsGig-WMb4ri0BRJx3m-Kz1Lr7Yk3ox-96LCSCye5w1tU3Rk_aem_8UFyk3K7avFv0n5fDX8xHw)). I also lead the **Green Mountain Writers Group \| ZOOM** that I founded on Meetup in 2021 at [https://www.meetup.com/green-mountain-writers/](https://www.meetup.com/green-mountain-writers/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2B8lhKi2Xhc54wQGYLUpaJ53dNfEjs7CA7b6pdhPRlsRGdT9pZ7rqkufY_aem_VP5oasz9g-pqP6ZSDbp1bQ) to host our 760 members from all across the USA and internationally with meetings on Zoom. About the founder: **Stephen Kastner:** Since 1997, I have been an independent consultant at DesignWise Studios. I began a visual artist in painting and photography. In the 80s I worked as a professional photo-journalist for the NYT papers in Florida. In 2006, I lived in Yunnan, China and spent 6 months as a filmmaker while designing the curriculum for what was to became the top-rated Chinese Culture Spa on TripAdvisor, the Linden Centre. Now, I employ writing, digital photography, videography, graphic design, and networked media to create all varieties of digital storytelling and I coach authors on self-publishing.

**Time for a breath of fresh air...** “There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” - C.S. Lewis **NOW TWO FLAVORS OF GMWG:** The Burlington Writers Workshop Meetup Group, originally established by Peter Bielo has been idle since 2022. After more than two years with no activity, he released it and I had the chance to assume the organizer role. I intend to incorporate and rebuild it as a branch of the Green Mountain Writers Group. There are 2,734 existing members. I intend to use it to restore live meetings in Burlington, those in-person gatherings that we lost when COVID struck three years ago. I changed the Meetup name to **[Green Mountain Writers Group | LIVE](https://www.meetup.com/burlington-writers/?eventOrigin=your_groups)** to indicate that. I created the **Green Mountain Writers Group** on Meetup in 2021 during the pandemic. We host more than 750 members from all across the USA and around the world meeting on Zoom.
