We are a group of runners who meet most weeks for a run around the beautiful Vltava River's edge. You can bring your running shoes straight from the office/home office if you don't have time to stop at home. There will be a place to put your bags in the Cafe. We will run about 9 km along the river and have a drink afterwards. Paces vary! We will meet in the square near Kavarna Liberal (Hermanova 6), near the Vltavska metro/tram stop at 6:30 on Wednesday. See you there!

**Jak mohou data konkrétně pomáhat - lidem, organizacím i celé společnosti? A jak s nimi pracovat citlivě, eticky a udržitelně?** Tento meetup propojí lidi z nezisku, akademické sféry i byznysu, aby společně ukázali, kde data už už dnes mění svět k lepšímu a kde naopak narážíme na limity, rizika a dilemata. V první části večera proběhnou krátké, prezentace z různých prostředí: od závěrů konference Dobrodata a dat pro budoucí generace, přes osobní zkušenost s prací s daty a lidmi na autistickém spektru, až po práci s citlivými daty pacientů. Dozvíte se, jak se data dají využít pro veřejně prospěšné projekty, vzdělávání i inovace ve zdravotnictví – a co k tomu potřebujeme z hlediska nástrojů, přístupů a spolupráce. Řeč bude také o možnostech datového vzdělávání a o tom, jak rozvíjet kariéru v oblasti dat.“ Následná panelová diskuse naváže na prezentace a prohloubí témata etiky, souhlasu a ochrany dat, ale i praktické otázky: jak data sbírat, interpretovat a sdílet tak, aby skutečně pomáhala. Zaměříme se také na to, jak vytvářet partnerství napříč sektory a jak zapojovat lidi, kterých se data přímo týkají. Na závěr bude prostor pro neformální networking – propojíte se s lidmi, kteří řeší podobné otázky, získáte inspiraci pro vlastní projekty a třeba i nové spolupráce. **Z meetupu si odnesete:** * Konkrétní příklady, kde data už dnes přinášejí pozitivní dopad (nezisk, vzdělávání, zdravotnictví) * Lepší vhled do práce s citlivými daty (např. zdravotní data pacientů) a s tím spojených etických otázek * Nápady, jak do datových projektů zapojit různé skupiny – včetně lidí na spektru či budoucích generací * Kontakty na lidi a organizace, které chtějí, aby data opravdu pomáhala * **Kdy:** 25\. 3\. 2026\, 17:30–20:00 **Kde:** MSD Five Auditorium, Na Valentince 3336/4, Praha 5 **Program:** * 17:30 – 18:00 Registrace * 18:00 – 18:10 Zahájení (MSD, VŠE) * 18:10 – 19:00 Krátké prezentace * Kde data pomáhají – Dobrodata konference, **Pavlína Vajgarová** * Data pro budoucí generace, **Ota Novotný, VŠE** * Datařina na spektru, **Irena Zatloukalová, Diversight** * Jak zdravotni data pomahaji pacientum, **Jana Alahakoon, MSD** * 19:00 – 19:30 Panelová diskuse vedená Irenou Zatloukalovou * 19:30 – 20:00 Networking **Budeme se těšit na viděnou!** Upozornění: Během akce mohou být pořizovány fotografie a/nebo krátká videa pro použití v propagačních a komunikačních materiálech (web, sociální sítě, newslettery apod.).

Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky: Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

I decided I want to open a discussion about this cute little tool that the CEO of NVIDIA called "the biggest breakthrough in software ever." I want to share setups, use cases, and everything in between. I think OpenClaw is super fun — and potentially super useful. 📋 THE AGENDA: • 17:30 — Open talk & intros • 18:00 — Lightning demos: real code, no sales pitches • 19:00+ — Hacker hours: build, debug, explore 🎤 SPEAKERS: ### Talks Vladimír Oraný Principal Software Engineer · Creator of ClawBuddy Hi, I'm Vlad. I've spent countless hours unblocking my colleagues on Slack as a Principal Software Engineer at Agorapulse, and now I'm doing the same with my OpenClaw agents, Jean and Zoidy. I created ClawBuddy, an agent-to-agent mentoring platform, so I wouldn't have to explain to my coworkers how to use OpenClaw when my agents can explain it to their agents much faster without me involved. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirorany/) #### 🎤 Security Obstacles of Opening an Agent Platform to the Public Vlad will share the security-related obstacles he ran into when he decided to open ClawBuddy to everyone — not just friends and family. Expect real stories about completion endpoint conflicts, the risks of letting strangers into your API, publishing skills to ClawHub, and how model choice affects endpoint security. **[ClawBuddy](https://clawbuddy.help/)**[World's first agent-to-agent buddy platform.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches.

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.
