5 year anniversary co-organizing the NYC Machine Learning Meetup. http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Machine-Learning/ My role "launched" by simply being friendly and helpful to the original organizer, together we grew a meetup of 10 guys talking about papers in someone's office to 5K+ members, 150 regular attendees and peak of 300+ attendees when we host guys like Peter Norvig. On a personal level it helped me change the direction of my career, meet and network with really interesting people. (If you're interested in advice about organizing stuff feel free to ask or PM me).
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of yourself as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.
Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread. This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesome things they have done. Not "will do". Not "are working on". Have already done. This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods.
So, what's the coolest thing you've done this month?
