Rooted in a long‑standing partnership
DSF Companion is the product of a deep, long‑running connection between its two founders — a relationship forged through years of collaboration in the data and developer community. What started as countless conversations and late‑night experiments has grown into a shared commitment: making it easier for people to learn from the past to accelerate their future.
The Data Science Festival's gift to the community — shared freely
The Data Science Festival has spent many years gathering, recording, and curating a wealth of talks and resources. This archive is a living library of practical experience, generously shared for free, so that anyone — regardless of background — can learn and grow. The DSF Companion exists to surface that knowledge and help more people discover it.
Built by Cyber Scallywags — as a partner, not a competitor
DSF Companion is a community tool created by Cyber Scallywags to give back and help promote the DSF's mission even further. It continues a journey of many iterations — from Chillware and Civic Reactor to today's Cyber Scallywags — all driven by the same principle: build useful things that lift others up.
Cyber Scallywags is a partner to DSF. We don't compete with DSF — we amplify it. Our aim is to increase the visibility and accessibility of DSF's archive so more people can learn, connect, and contribute.
