Design Best Practices

Join us for a meetup on April 21th together with **Elastic** and **Confluent**! Doors open at 17.45 and we share some pizzas and drinks before the presentations begin at 18.30. We wrap up around 20.45. **Address:** Nine A/S Office Kongens Nytorv 18 DK-1050 København K **Agenda:** 17.45: Doors open 18.00: Pizzas, drinks and networking 18.30: Securing data in motion the right way 19\.15: From Raw Data to Real Insight: Modern Dashboards and Data Exploration with ES\|QL in Kibana 20.30: Wrap up **Talks:** **Securing data in motion the right way** Data streaming is powering everything from fraud detection and real-time analytics to patient monitoring and order fulfillment. But as the role of streaming grows, so does the risk - because many streaming platforms, like Apache Kafka, aren't secure by default. In this talk, we’ll take a practical look at data streaming security through the lens of Kafka, one of the most widely adopted streaming platforms in the world. We'll walk through what can go wrong - real examples of exposing 14M patient-doctor messages, or years of real-time delivery info to the internet - and what it takes to do it right. We'll cover the key pillars of securing a streaming system: encryption in transit and at rest, access control, monitoring, and key management. Along the way, we’ll look at the trade-offs like disk encryption vs. end-to-end encryption, what is behind field-level and envelope encryption, and the realities of using customer-managed keys in regulated industries. We’ll also explore how monitoring extends beyond Kafka itself—into downstream systems like Elasticsearch—where logs, events, and even sensitive data are often indexed, creating both powerful detection capabilities and new security risks if left unprotected. If you're building, running, or scaling streaming systems, this talk will help you see the security blind spots and give you concrete steps to protect the data flowing through your pipelines. *Speaker: Olena Kutsenko, Developer Advocate, Confluent* **From Raw Data to Real Insight: Modern Dashboards and Data Exploration with ES\|QL in Kibana** Kibana has evolved from simple visualizations to a powerful exploration workspace where search, aggregation, and advanced analytics come together in one flow. In this session\, Ninoslav Miskovic\, Principal Product Manager for Discover\, walks through the latest capabilities in Kibana Dashboards and data exploration powered by ES\|QL\. We will cover how ES\|QL changes the way you explore data\, including joins\, advanced aggregations\, pattern analysis\, and faster iteration directly in the UI\. You will see how these capabilities surface in dashboards and how they enable more flexible\, analyst\-driven workflows across observability\, security\, and search use cases\. *Speakers: Mikkel Kidmose and Lasse Hoff Byrnak, Elastic*

Welcome to the next meetup of .NET Skåne! This time we have the pleasure of inviting you to Living IT at Gustav Adolfs torg in Malmö for yet another inspiring evening! This event is free to attend and there will be free drinks and food. We hope to see you there! **IMPORTANT:** If you have signed up to the event but can't make for some reason please cancel your spot in good time before the event so the spot is free for someone else to attend. **Agenda:** **GRPC - from zero to something** (Henrik Jönsson) Considering GRPC as an alternative to that HTTP API? We will have a look at the basics. When might it be a good idea, and what would that look like in .NET. Lets look at some code and get an idea of how to get started. **How TrackPaw use AI to ship good stuff faster** (Carl Johan Wetterqvist) I have been experimenting with incorporating AI in my deliveries since before ChatGPT was a thing — this is how we at TrackPaw use AI to help us ship good stuff fast today. **From Autopilot to Co-Pilot: Using Agent-Based Workflows to Transform AI-Assisted Software Development** (Oliwer Helsén) AI coding assistants are powerful, but left unchecked they tend to produce generic, context-free output. What if, instead of letting the AI do the thinking for you, you structured the collaboration using specialized agent personas and agile workflows that guide both human and AI through the entire software development lifecycle? This talk explores an open-source framework that does exactly that — introducing domain-expert agents such as Product Managers, Architects, UX Designers, and Scrum Masters as AI-driven collaborators, each with structured workflows grounded in agile best practices. The framework adapts its planning depth based on project complexity, supports everything from quick bug fixes to full enterprise product planning, and even allows multiple agent perspectives to converge in a single session. We'll walk through the two main development paths — a lightweight flow for small, well-scoped tasks and a full planning path for complex products — and share practical lessons learned from applying agent-driven AI development in real-world SaaS projects. **About the speakers:** [Henrik Jönsson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/henrik-j%C3%B6nsson-06250317/) Henrik is a Consultant at The Tribe currently on assignment as a developer and tech lead.

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

**Co-working for writers in Amager!** Join us for an hour of focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in the area. We meet in this lovely spacious café, chilled out, usually not very busy at this time, with an on-site bakery of delicious pastries. Once everyone is here and settled, I will lead a quick introduction, and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. After the hour is up feel free to chat / take off / keep writing if you're on a roll. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers, and it can be a great way to learn from eachother. **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing. For our full event schedule, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com) **Practical Details:** WiFi name / password: Kasada / haveaniceday Travel / Parking info: Kasada is just a few minutes walk from Lergravsparken Metro Station. We've reserved the large round table in the main room, with power outlets if you need one. Venue Guidelines: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All. ✨** Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in 25+ countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ \*\*\* Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/?hl=en) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈

Is the Web your canvas? Are JS, CSS and HTML your brush, Node.js, VSCode and DevTools your easel, or React, D3 and Three.js your siege engines? Or would you just like them to be? Whether you're working on a web site, web app or web startup, if you care about logic, data structures and natural intelligence™ beyond their framework abstractions and artificial boilerplates, let's get together to discuss routing, hydration, effects, design, standards, verification, optimization and more. Drop by for a casual exchange of knowledge, feedback and curiosity while we work or chillax with a coffee.

Dear all, Once again, it is time for a physical Meetup in the GTD Copenhagen Community. We will meet at Danske Regioner, Dampfærgevej 22, 2100 København Ø, where Bente Villumsen will host the meeting. We will meet on Thursday, 23th of May, at 17.00. The topic for the meeting is **the five GTD steps with a deep dive into the Clarify and Organise steps**. So come and join us if you would like a chance to improve your own GTD system. Our Copenhagen-based GTD Coach, Michael Eltong Gade, will take us through all five steps of GTD before we focus on the Clarify and Organise steps. We hope that the topic will give you the tools to make 2026 a great GTD year. After the presentation, we will discuss our own GTD Systems. You will get ideas to improve your system from Michael and the meeting participants. If time allows, we will discuss tips and tricks for challenges you have with the GTD practice. We look very much forward to seeing you. Best regards, Bente Villumsen, Jens Hynne Petersen, and Michael Eltong Gade

Two Topics on todays agenda: **Reliable agent-driven development** (Thomas Martinsen, Tech Evangelist @ Twoday, MS MVP & RD) Agent-driven development is not about letting tools write code for you. It is about shifting responsibility. We move from writing every line ourselves to defining intent, constraints, architecture, and security boundaries—while agents produce the first drafts. The real challenge is not generation, but reliability and value. Tools will evolve. What matters is understanding how they work, where they fail, and how to design guardrails around them. Just as anyone can write code but not everyone practices solid software engineering, the difference in this new paradigm lies in discipline, not access to AI. This session focuses on how to make agent-driven development robust: how to define clear requirements, enforce non-functional constraints, embed security and observability, and validate AI-generated artifacts at scale. The goal is to raise the abstraction level without losing control—and to ensure that agent-generated output translates into sustained business value. **How Does a Coding Agent Work?** (Tore Nestenius, .NET Architect & Technical Trainer, MS MVP) Coding agents are increasingly used to automate software tasks, yet how they actually work is often treated as a black box. This talk breaks a coding agent down into its core mechanics: how it is structured, how it communicates with a language model, and how a text-only model can read and modify real source code. We will cover: \* what a coding agent is, mechanically \* how agents communicate with language models \* how tools and MCP calls are executed \* how a text-only model works with source code \* how to build a basic coding agent in C#

Do you want to improve your eyesight naturally, but don't know how to start? Then this event is perfect for you. I have through deep learning in the field of eyesight gained knowledge about how our eyes work internally and how one can improve ones vision, through practical yet focused and specific eyesight exercises. In this event we will first go through the basics of the eyesight functions to later talk about very useful exercises which you can use to gradually improve eyesight. The event is open to everyone and not only for people with specific medical condition. Its also completely free of charge. You will take home very detailed exercises that can help you make your eyesight better, more comfortable to use and notice all the important signs of correct use of the eyes which will ensure sharp and joyfully eyesight experience. It starts from proper relaxation that we forgot subconsciously how to do through our long commitments we have that falls on the eyes. If you have any specific questions about the event, feel free to reach out to me before. ... We will meet at 2 pm at Stadsbiblioteket second floor "språkrummet", will update more precise location closer to the event

Come hang out with fellow Apple platform developers and enthusiasts for an informal evening of tech talk, coffee, and good company. No agenda, no slides — just a relaxed get-together at a Copenhagen café where we geek out about Swift, iOS, visionOS, and whatever else is keeping us busy lately. Whether you're deep in SwiftUI architecture, experimenting with spatial computing, or just curious about what's happening in the Apple ecosystem, you're welcome here. Bring your questions, your opinions, and ideally a laptop if you want to show something off. See you there.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

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.

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
