[ml] [Noisebridge-discuss] ML meetup: sociological datasets (Thursday 1/19 @ 6:30pm)

[Danny O'Brien]

I suspect I'm going to be dealing with some other social engineering
challenges of NB this evening, so I'm going to say if you're coming to
soceng, hitch a ride on Mike's event -- I'll be in the space, but
probably running around and talking with people in huddled corners.
