Come join us for a trail social run, jog, walk in Islands Brygge We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”. How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize. Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 18:30. Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up. Four-legged friends are welcome! We never cancel. See you there!

Making friends in Copenhagen can be surprisingly hard. Not because people are unkind, but because real connection often needs the right setting. **Across The Table Copenhagen** is our answer to that: a small, hosted dinner for women who want to meet new people in a way that feels natural, thoughtful, and a little bit special. For our first dinner, we’ll gather in a beautiful art space in Copenhagen for food, wine pairings, and guided conversation around the table. This is not a networking event. There are no pitches, no awkward name tags, and no pressure to perform. It is simply a warm, intimate evening with good food, wine, art, and conversation designed to move beyond the usual “Where are you from?” and “How long have you been here?” This event is for international women, Danes who have lived abroad, and anyone who wants to build more meaningful connections in Denmark. This event is designed to feel easy to join, even if you come on your own. The conversation will be hosted, so you won’t need to worry about breaking into a group or navigating awkward small talk.. **Included in your ticket:** Dinner Wine pairings A beautiful art space setting Hosted conversation A small, curated group of women **Seats:** 10 total **Ticket:** 750 DKK **How to reserve your seat** Please note that RSVP’ing on Meetup does not confirm your place at the table.

**Regenerative software may just be the most purposeful rabbit hole you could dive into RIGHT NOW and we want to explore it together.** **— Where do we see potential for regenerative software?** "Mind over Machine", the new Think-tank and Laboratory for regenerative software is now formally established, and we will run a first round of ideation with the community. **The purpose is simple**: Generate ideas that can form the foundation of the first projects to run in the laboratory: A survey, an Open Source tool, an article, a podcast, a tutorial, a model ...anything goes really! Maybe you are a student and need a purposeful topic to base your master-thesis or internship on. Or maybe you just dream of joining forces with others around ideas you have, that would make the world a better place - **this is it!** **Mind Over Machine** **We will collectively generate, challenge and shape the initial ideas that could define MoM. Expect slightly half-baked thoughts and enthusiastic disagreement.** Join our Open Space style meeting for generation of initial ideas. The program will play out roughly as follows: * Brainstorm ideas, record them in an online backlog * From stage, briefly pitch each idea in the backlog * Upvote the ones that you believe in and would like to contribute to * Similar to Open Space Discussions, we will organize in parallel groups in short time slots and each group will discuss and record project details and perspectives to the ideas * If possible we will organize in work groups around the most vivid ideas and launch projects. **Prior to the event (optional):** You are welcome to take a jump start and present some of your ideas, even prior to the event. The following is a short description on the infrastructure and process we will use. 1. Create an [account on GitHub](https://github.com/signup) if you haven't already. 2. We will be working in the [GitHub Discussions (Ideas category)](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/categories/ideas) in our @mindovermachine-dev organization. 3. You will see that there are already a few ideas drafted out. 4. CONTINUE! Add your own ideas. If someone else already wrote an idea you like, vote it up, comment on it, supplement it with your own perspective. 5. Consider reading the [Guideline for suggesting ideas](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/3) first **See you there 🌱**

**Summer Flavours & The Art of Embodied Dating** \- \(Age 35\-55\)\* As the summer heat slowly starts to build, we invite you to another round of Softer Dating! [Tickets through House of Play](https://www.houseofplay.dk/special-events/softer-dating-1) Dating can often times feel very “heady” and intellectual. We think about what to say, try to be funny etc. but by doing that we miss out on a bunch of other juicy and good stuff! This is for you, if you are ready to explore new ways of being in connection beyond the regular small-talk. The thing is, our bodies are incredibly good at understanding what they like and dislike. While the mind is busy making up stories, the body, already senses what is happening in this moment. In this event you are invited to allow your body to lead your experience. *Words and thoughts get to take a little break tonight.* You won’t have to think about what to say next, what to share in order to fill the silence. You get full permission to be in the body, and we will guide you into that space. **WHAT YOU'LL TAKE WITH YOU** Beyond the evening itself, many people leave with: * **New ways of connecting** - discovering forms of interaction that go beyond talking * **Greater body awareness** - more in touch with your own body, your yes, and no * **Self-knowledge** - understanding yourself more deeply through experience rather than analysis * **Confidence** - both in social spaces and in honoring your own boundaries * **A shifted perspective** - on how you approach people and relationships going forward You'll learn to take responsibility for your own experience, developing the skill and ability to shape what happens rather than waiting for the other person to create it. This often translates into presence, a quality that serves you far beyond dating. **THE EVENING** **Part 1: Embodied Moments of connection** You’ll meet a range of people through short, guided one-on-one experiences. By removing the pressure of choosing, we create space to simply be present and curious. Consent is explicit throughout. All exercises are invitations, you can always choose to do less or observe. **Part 2: Guided exploration with choice** As the group has landed and found comfort together, you now choose freely who you want to connect with. We’ll explore connection through: • Moving your body (dance, movement) • Mindful touch (soft, consensual) • Curious conversations • Observation & rest (take a break anytime) Touch and closeness may arise, if desired. The atmosphere is intimate but not sexual. No nudity, no pressure. PS: We don’t share the specific exercises in advance for a couple of reasons: to keep the surprise; because what we do depends on the group’s energy. See it as an invitation to trust and stay curious! [Tickets through House of Play](https://www.houseofplay.dk/special-events/softer-dating-1) **WHO IS THIS FOR?** People aged 35-55 looking for meaningful connections. Any gender expression, style of relating, and sexual preference welcome. **DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?** No! Beginners are very welcome. **DO I NEED TO BRING A PARTNER?** No, though it might be nice to bring a friend! **TICKETS** 280 kr for members 350 kr for non-members We offer a 20% discount to students and low income. Discounts cannot be used on top of other discounts. Please reach out to [info@houseofplay.dk](mailto:info@houseofplay.dk) [Buy Ticket](https://www.houseofplay.dk/special-events/softer-dating-1) Tickets are non-refundable. Be sure to read our cancellation policy and no-show fee [here](https://www.houseofplay.dk/terms-and-conditions) **CODE OF CONDUCT** Please read our [Code of Conduct](https://www.houseofplay.dk/code-of-conduct) before attending 1 of 4 Chilies 🌶️ Read about our chili system [here](https://www.houseofplay.dk/chili-system) **QUESTIONS?** *What if I don’t like an exercise?* You can observe instead. We encourage people to take care of their boundaries—it happens and we think it’s wonderful. *What if I feel awkward?* Awkwardness and shyness are welcome. You don’t need to pretend. Most people relax naturally after some time. *What about the gender ratio?* We can’t guarantee your preference will be there, but so far we’ve had a wide, colorful distribution of genders! *What if I’m paired with someone I don’t find attractive?* Softer Dating is about connection, not just romance. Can you bring respect and curiosity, even if there’s no spark? Also, know that you can always step out. **ABOUT THE FACILITATOR** Hi, I’m Philipp (call me Pyt). I’ve been creating intimate events and workshops for years because I love creating spaces where people can unfold and enjoy themselves. I work as a life coach and kink facilitator.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
