Big Beautiful Women (BBW) Admirers

Come to check out our hackerspace, talk to people and learn some new things, maybe use the tools for a short while, or just sit down with a laptop and do some work in a quiet place. Also a good time to sign up for a membership! We will have tea and coffee, likely also cookies. Come whenever from 19:00 till 22:00 - we might even be open until 24:00! If there's a problem (i.e. doors not open), call 28701072.

„Riga Tech Dinner“ ir klātienes pasākums tiem, kuriem parasti ir dziļas pārdomas, daudz jautājumu un ideju, ar kurām dalīties. Ikviens ir aicināts piedalīties diskusijās vai vienkārši klausīties! Pasākuma valoda: runāsim latviski. **Šī pasākuma īpašie viesi:** * **Egita Rudzīte** \- Valsts digitālās attīstības aģentūras direktora vietniece \- "Valsts pārvaldē ar digitālajiem jautājumiem es strādāju jau kopš savas pirmās darba dienas\, kad uzsāku darba gaitas\, mācoties RTU 2\.kursā 2000\.gadā\. Man tuvas tēmas ir starpiestāžu datu apmaiņa un ērti\, saprotami e\-pakalpojumi iedzīvotājiem\. Valsts pārvaldē strādāju ar misijas apziņu un cerību par efektīvu un digitāli prasmīgu Latvijas valsts pārvaldi\." * [Jānis Ziediņš](https://www.linkedin.com/in/janisziedins/) \- Direktora vietnieks digitālās attīstības jautājumos @ KISC \- Ikdienā strādā ar valsts digitālajām platformām\, mākslīgā intelekta ieviešanu un datu pārvaldību publiskajā sektorā\. Interesē praktiski\, sabiedrībai noderīgi tehnoloģiju risinājumi\, kas savieno kultūru\, datus un MI\. **Par pasākumu** Jūs varbūt domājat: "Kāda ir šāda pasākuma vērtība? Kāpēc nepietiek ar citiem esošajiem biznesa tīklošanas pasākumiem?" Galvenā atšķirība ir tā, ka mēs tiekamies, baudām vakariņas un apspriežam visu, kas mums interesē. Tas ir pasākums tehnoloģiju nozares profesionāļiem, lai apmainītos ar idejām un attīstītos. Īpašie viesi pastāstīs nedaudz par sevi un darīs visu iespējamo, lai uzsāktu diskusiju, ja telpā iestātos neveikla klusuma brīdis. Tomēr atceramies, ka “Runāšana – sudrabs, klusēšana – zelts”. Šis ir arī labs laiks, lai padomātu un klausītos sarunās, kuras parasti neuzsāktu ne mājās, ne darbā. **Saziņa un kanāli:** Pievienojieties mums WhatsApp:[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GYDCBI5ca2BBvmgDVjA3fM)[https://chat.whatsapp.com/GYDCBI5ca2BBvmgDVjA3fM](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GYDCBI5ca2BBvmgDVjA3fM) Iepriekšējos pasākumus varat apskatīt [Techies of Baltics LinkedIn lapā](https://www.linkedin.com/company/riga-tech-dinner/). Pasākuma laikā mēs ierakstām īsas intervijas ar īpašajiem viesiem Riga Tech Cast podcastam. Sekojiet līdzi [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1pr3DU9Tu6GJZO67CuUj5Z), [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLIQbshchl7uBmsPwkDNsDLt3l022o8V5) un citās populārās vietnēs. Ja vēlaties piedalīties, informējiet pasākuma vadītāju. **Prasības dalībniekiem:** * centies neiekavēties * iepazīstiniet ar sevi * nepātrauciet citus * nāciet ar tukšu vēderu un samaksājiet par savām vakariņām * neesi viegli aizkaitināms, ja esi izsalcis * šī nav ballīte. Tomēr glāze vīna var nedaudz atbrīvot mēli * ja negri runāt, tad nerunā. Bet ierasties tīklošanās pasākumā un nepasacīt ne vārda ir kā skatīties veikalu skatlogus un neko nenopirkt * pasākuma dalības maksu samaksājiet skaidrā naudā uz vietas. Nav iespējams veikt maksājumu tiešsaistē * vissvarīgākais ir atvērts prāts un iekļaujoša attieksme pret visiem * RSVP – ierodieties vai savlaicīgi atjauniniet savu statusu, ja nevarat ierasties **Kāpēc ir pasākuma dalības maksa?** \- mums pasākumā vienmēr ir 2 īpaši viesi\. Viņi ir saņēmuši īpašu ielūgumu pievienoties mums\. Mums vajadzētu segt viņu vakariņu izdevumus kā vismazāko\, ko varam darīt\, papildus pateicībai\. Pasākuma dalības maksa ir fonds šim nolūkam\. **Pasākuma vadītājs:** Uldis Karlovs-Karlovskis ir [IT eksperts](https://uldiskarlovskarlovskis.com/) ar 20 gadu daudzveidīgu pieredzi un MI uzņēmuma [MoonMoon](https://moonmoon.lv/) vadītājs.

Kopiena var izmantot šos materiālus mārketinga un publicitātes nolūkos savās publikācijās, tīmekļa vietnē un sociālajos tīklos vai jebkurā trešās puses publikācijā.'*

We are continuing the conversation of who Jesus Christ is to each one of us personally. It has been very interesting so far and the cafe is a cosy, truly Latvian venue. We meet every first and third Tuesday of the month.This conversation is open to all backgrounds, cultures and experiences! We'll be there from 5-7 but you are welcome to come any time during the two hours. Hope to see you there!

Podczas najbliższego spotkania zapraszamy Was do refleksji nad synergią w rodzinie. Porozmawiamy o tym, że każdy z nas – nie tylko dziecko – jest w procesie wzrastania. Jako rodzice jesteśmy nie tylko wychowawcami naszych dzieci, ale również… samych siebie. To, jak reagujemy, jak komunikujemy się i jak przeżywamy emocje, wpływa nie tylko na nasze dzieci. Pokazuje też, na ile sami jesteśmy w kontakcie ze swoimi talentami, historią i tym, co w nas żywe. To spotkanie będzie zaproszeniem do zatrzymania się — i spojrzenia głębiej: na dziecko, na siebie i na Waszą relację. Goście spotkania: Iza i Piotr Antosiewicz – małżeństwo z ponad 30-letnim doświadczeniem, autorzy książki „Synergia talentów”. Choć oboje pracują w obszarze talentów, każde z nich wnosi inną, uzupełniającą się perspektywę: 🔹 Iza – specjalizuje się w odkrywaniu i rozwijaniu mocnych stron, pomagając zobaczyć to, co w człowieku naturalne i wartościowe 🔹 Piotr – koncentruje się na komunikacji, szczególnie w nurcie Porozumienia bez Przemocy (NVC), wspierając budowanie relacji opartych na zrozumieniu i autentycznym dialogu To połączenie dwóch światów – talentów i komunikacji – daje praktyczne narzędzia do mądrego wychowania i budowania bliskości w rodzinie.

"Oh, product and engineering work really well together here." — someone at every company, in every all-hands, ever. But do they, though? **This event is for EMs, PMs, Product Designers who want to make their workstyle actionable.** The product world has spent years arguing that PMs, designers, and engineers should be in the room together from day one instead of handing work down a conveyor belt like it's a factory floor. It's one of the most talked-about ideas in how we build products, but also one of the hardest to actually pull off 🤷 This edition of OmniTalks is about what it looks like when it works. We call it the trifecta — a Product Manager, a Product Designer, and an Engineering Manager, have picked an already shipped feature and will deliver three perspectives on how it got built. Three people from Omnisend's Forms’ team will each take the stage and walk you through the same project — what they were trying to solve and how the three of them stayed aligned *(or didn't🤷).* **Agenda** * 17:30 — Doors open. * 18:00 — The trifecta takes the stage in relay, walks you through the project from three different perspectives (this part will be streamed online) * 19:30 — Networking * 21:00 — Extending the evening? Alaus Studija is very close to our office 🍻 **The Trifecta** Augustina Reipšlėger, Staff Product Designer Povilas Žvirblis, Engineering Manager Paulius Preikšaitis, Product Manager This is a hybrid event and will be streamed online. 📷 Photos will be taken at the event
