We run these public office hours community livestream sessions on the Datasette Discord.

2025

We're hosting the sixth in our series of Datasette Public Office Hours livestream sessions this Friday, 6th of June at 2pm PST (here's that time in your location).

The topic is going to be tool support in LLM, as introduced here.

I'll be walking through the new features, and we're also inviting five minute lightning demos from community members who are doing fun things with the new capabilities. If you'd like to present one of those please get in touch via this form.

If you have something you would like to show, please drop us a line! We still have room for a few more demos.

Datasette Public Office Hours Application. We are running another Datasette Public Office Hours event on Discord tomorrow (Friday 17th January 2025) at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 10pm GMT / more timezones here.

The theme this time around is lightning talks - we're looking for 5-8 minute long talks from community members about projects they are working on or things they have built using the Datasette family of tools (which includes LLM and sqlite-utils as well).

If you have a demo you'd like to share, please let us know via this form.

I'm going to be demonstrating my recent work on the next generation of Datasette Enrichments.
