Weekly Co-Hacking: Inference (Bring your laptop and hangout)
Welcome to the Weekly Co-Hack event!
Feel free to come by and co-hack anytime between 12 pm - 8 pm.
If you stop by before 5 pm, come sit with us at the cafeteria area.
Use the #co-hacking channel on our Discord to find folks.
Every week we gather a bunch of interesting people and try to iterate on a specific topic, in a semi-competition format. This week's topic is:
""Generative Engine Optimization""
(You can work on your own projects and hangout if you don't want to participate or if the topic wasn't interesting)
The winner of the competition will be given a shoutout in the discord channel, through community voting. This is a high energy but low commitment event.
If you want to meet new people, experiment with new, most of the time cutting edge, technologies and get some insights on different parts of the AI Ecosystem, feel free to come join us @ Invest Ottawa.
Are you a beginner? Fear not. Ask around the room, and you'll find some great resources.
Make sure you're in our Discord server for important updates.
This was started by Neilda Gagne (Spring '24).

Co-Hacking Guidelines
Our community at AI Tinkerers: Ottawa - Co-hacking space has been growing rapidly. We're thrilled to see many new faces and welcome back our returning members. This growth is fantastic, as we strive to create a safe and welcoming space for all our members. To ensure we maintain this environment, we are introducing some community guidelines and rules that all members are expected to follow:
Respect the Invest Ottawa space and its occupants: Invest Ottawa generously provides us with a space to work and grow our community. Please respect the space by keeping it clean, not causing any damage, and not touching anything that doesn't belong to us. Also, be considerate of the people working there by not disturbing them, not touching their belongings, and not using their equipment without permission.
An organizer must always be present in the space: To ensure proper care of the space, at least one organizer must be present at all times. Members are welcome to stay after our official hours as long as an organizer is present. You can find a list of all organizers in our Discord channel, and any new organizers will be introduced at our next monthly meetup!
Stay within the space: Our agreement with Invest Ottawa allows us to use only the Co-Hacking room. While you can leave the room briefly to use the bathroom or the mini-kitchen, please ensure all other activities remain within the hacking space.
Keep it respectful: Our co-hacking space is a friendly and casual environment, but we expect all members to be respectful and maintain a semi-professional demeanour. Behaviours that might be acceptable in bars, parks, gyms, etc., are not appropriate here. Each member represents AI Tinkerers, so let's all be our best selves and contribute to a positive and productive atmosphere for everyone.
If you need to report any issues or have concerns, please use our community support anonymous report form: https://tally.so/r/mO0raK
