In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that. Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to the Modern Communities, where we will brainstorm together what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired: What makes communitie? How communities have changed through out time? Are our support systems working? Are they enough? Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions like (in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves) 18:00 – Doors open 18:15 – Introduction & topic selection 18:40 - We start discussions 19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities) 20:00 - Networking & Connect What to expect: A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike Be slightly pushed to socialise Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters! Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating! Feel free to bring some snacks to share! Friendly dogs are welcome! If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a patreon page where you can support us! https://www.patreon.com/cw/EarthSocietyDialogues

All runners (and non-runners), are invited to a free concert in Old Town! The music starts at 7pm. Free Entry. EST/A/B/LISH: Composer and sound engineer Chris Baker presents a live exploration of immersive sound and music, a practice honed through years of experimental work in film sound and music. Drawing on acoustic instruments, field recordings, and electronic textures, Chris blends newly written pieces with improvisation, creating adventurous and immersive soundscapes. Part of a three-day residency at the Skaut Institut, the performance brings together Prague-based violinist Barbora Bodláková with UK performers Roger Heathers, Declan Kitchener, and Suphena. The musicians perform together in the centre of the space, while the audience listens from the surrounding balconies — an unusual setup that places the music at the heart of the building, with sound emanating out in all directions. www.chrisbakersound.com

Čekání je u konce - jedeme dál! Po povedeném návratu se Research Tuesday vrací podruhé. Navazujeme přesně tam, kde jsme minule skončili: u sdílení zkušeností, otevřených diskusí a upřímného pohledu na naši práci bez příkras. **💡 Atmosféra: Bez kamer, jen diskuse** Jestli jsi tu poprvé, připomínáme naši „tajnou ingredienci“: meetupy nenahráváme ani nestreamujeme. Dává nám to svobodu mluvit otevřeně o tom, co fungovalo – i co ne. **🗺️ Téma měsíce: Když UX opustí obrazovku** Co když zákaznická cesta nezačíná ani nekončí v jednom rozhraní, ale vede přes digitální touchpointy do fyzického prostředí, a pak zase zpátky? Co když uživatel neřeší aplikaci, ale snaží se ve stresu a pod časovým tlakem najít správné dveře v nemocnici? **Michaela Holubec Birtusová** UX výzkumnice, facilitátorka a service designérka, která se pohybuje na pomezí digitálních a fyzických služeb. Dlouhodobě působí v organizaci Czechdesign, kde se věnuje především projektům ve veřejném sektoru, od municipalit po zdravotnictví. Kromě toho pracuje na volné noze pro další klienty, kterým pomáhá s výzkumem, facilitací a nastavováním služeb tak, aby odpovídaly reálným potřebám lidí. V posledních letech se intenzivně zaměřuje na výzkum orientace (wayfindingu) ve zdravotnických zařízeních. V rámci výzkumného projektu podpořeného TAČR se podílí na výzkumu, který kombinuje kvalitativní metody, testování v terénu, eye-tracking i VR, s cílem navrhovat navigační systémy, které skutečně fungují. Michaela nasdílí své zkušenosti z výzkumu orientace (wayfindingu) ve zdravotnických zařízeních. Otevře témata, která se v digitálu často neřeší – práci s fragmentovanou pozorností, kontextem, stresem nebo chybou. Probereme i to, jak důležitá je v tomto kontextu přístupnost a jak ji do výzkumu zahrnout co nejvíce. Michaela ukáže case study jako otevřený vhled do procesu: co fungovalo, kde si tým nebyl jistý a kde narážel. **Nové místo & káva:** Tentokrát se potkáme v útulném prostředí **kavárny Ruelto na Andělu**. Abychom podpořili majitele, kteří nám vyšli vstříc, nebudeme tentokrát zajišťovat externí catering. Na místě si ale můžete koupit jejich skvělou výběrovou kávu a lahodné koláčky. **🕒 Agenda:** * **09:00 AM** – Otevření dveří & ranní networking * **9:30 AM** – Úvodní blok: Když UX opustí obrazovku: Jak zkoumat orientaci ve fyzickém světě * **10:30 AM** – Otevřená diskuze * **11:30 PM** – Závěr & networking * **🧸 Hlídání dětí na vyžádání:** Research Tuesday stavíme na tom, že profesní rozvoj má být přístupný všem. Chceme podpořit i rodiče malých dětí, aby mohli zůstat v kontaktu s oborem a potkávat se bez zbytečných překážek. **Máte zájem o hlídání?** Rádi ho na místě zajistíme, ale potřebujeme vědět, jestli o něj bude zájem. Dejte nám vědět v komentářích nejpozději do pondělí do 8:00, jestli službu využijete a pro kolik dětí. Podle toho rozhodneme, jestli ji zajistíme. **🎟️ Důležité informace:** **Vstupenky:** Vstupné na Research Tuesday je dobrovolné. Kapacita je omezena na **35 míst**, abychom udrželi osobní a otevřenou atmosféru. **Rezervace:** Zarezervuj si místo včas. Pokud se ti plány změní, prosíme, uvolni místo ostatním. **Těšíme se na známé tváře i nové účastníky!** Ivana, Lucie, Martin

**Talk 1 – ArgoTs: TypeScript-Powered GitOps with ArgoCD** By: Jiří Soukal - Senior Cloud Engineer, from PriceFX Kubernetes is the de facto standard for cloud-native infrastructure, but managing it often means drowning in YAML. Tools like Kustomize, Helm, and ArgoCD overlays ease the pain, yet feel like patchwork rather than a fix. TypeScript-native solutions such as Pulumi or Terraform exist, but they rely on external state to diff and apply changes—adding complexity for GitOps teams. This talk introduces a new approach: using TypeScript as the source of truth for Kubernetes infrastructure without external state. By extending ArgoCD to understand TypeScript, we can dynamically generate all resources, from workloads to ArgoCD Applications and even cloud provider resources via ConfigConnector or Crossplane. **Talk 2 –** **Securing AI Deployments: From Prompts to AIBOM** By: Marek Sottl, CEO of Hackihub Are you interested in the security of AI application deployments? This packed session will focus on protecting language models and the obstacles that can arise during their deployment from a security perspective. We will explore deployment strategies in AWS and Azure environments, input validation using NLP, prompt tracing, and above all, we will emphasize the importance of AIBOM and MLBOM. **Talk 3 - GitOps, IaTS, OpenRouter and OpenClaw come to a bar** By Martin Pohl GitOps, IaTS, OpenRouter and OpenClaw come to a bar. The bartender says, “Great… who actually has production access?” GitOps says, “Not me, I only sync what’s in git.” IaTS says, “I just generate the infrastructure.” OpenRouter says, “I only route the requests.” OpenClaw says, “Relax, I already decided for everyone.” The bartender slowly reaches for the incident button: “So… which one of you started the outage?” All four reply: “According to the logs, it was a collaborative effort.” Today’s infrastructure tooling is incredibly powerful platforms like ArgoCD, TypeScript-based GitOps, and modern cloud-native stacks allow us to build and manage systems with unprecedented flexibility. But at the same time, we are introducing entirely new layers of complexity and attack surface. This talk explores the intersection of GitOps, TypeScript-driven infrastructure, and emerging AI tooling such as OpenRouter and autonomous agent-style setups like OpenClaw. As infrastructure evolves from static, declarative definitions into dynamic, runtime-generated systems, we are no longer just managing code we are operating systems that can interpret inputs, generate logic, and in some cases act autonomously. With this shift comes a new set of security challenges: prompt injection, tool misuse, model supply chain risks, and limited observability into AI-driven decision-making. The session connects these emerging risks with concepts like AIBOM and modern AI deployment security practices. Ultimately, this talk asks a critical question: are we building the future of platform engineering or creating systems we no longer fully control? **More about Talk 1:** Combining GitOps with the expressiveness of TypeScript creates infrastructure that is both declarative and dynamic, reducing toil while enabling richer abstractions, safer collaboration, and more maintainable platform engineering practices across the CNCF ekosystem. Benefits to the ecosystem \- Clarity & Maintainability: Reduces YAML complexity and templating hacks by introducing a strongly typed\, programmatic way to define infrastructure\. \- GitOps Alignment: Preserves ArgoCD’s declarative\, state\-free model while unlocking the flexibility of TypeScript\. \- Scalability: Makes it easier to manage multi\-cluster and multi\-environment setups with reusable\, composable infrastructure definitions\. \- Innovation in Platform Engineering: Demonstrates how the Kubernetes ecosystem can evolve beyond YAML\-first thinking\, inspiring new tools and workflows that balance developer experience with operational reliability\. \- Community Value: Provides a concrete path for teams frustrated with YAML sprawl to adopt a more maintainable\, type\-safe\, and future\-proof approach—without abandoning the CNCF ecosystem’s GitOps best practices\.

**Python is often celebrated as the universal glue that can do anything, but what happens when your project scales, a trace breaks, or a lack of architecture becomes your biggest bottleneck?** Join us on **Tuesday, April 21,** for an evening focused on the realities of operating Python at scale.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
