𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 🌱 On **Thursday, May 28**, we are proud to host a special **Data Thursday** edition at **B. Amsterdam**: **Cloud & Climate Pub Quiz** ☁️🌍 This will not be a classic sit-back-and-listen meetup. This is a **taste-of-tech game night** where #climate, #cloud, #AI, #CO₂, #costoptimisation and a bit of controlled chaos come together in one big interactive quiz. At **Data Tribes & EcoVerum,** we believe that climate impact, sustainability reporting and regenerative transformation all start with better data. This evening brings that belief to life in the most Data Thursday way possible: with sharp questions, practical insights, team play, pizza and drinks. Your personal quiz masters for the evening: 👷‍♂️ **Henk van der Valk** Platform & Intelligence Architect 👷‍♂️ **Marcel van der Kuil** Data & AI Impact Engineer Together, Henk and Marcel will join forces as **Buurman & Buurman for Cloud & Climate**, fixing things one quiz round at a time. Think climate science, cloud optimisation, AI-assisted answers, sharp questions, practical insights and probably a few moments of **“A je to!”** along the way. The evening includes three rounds: 🌍 **National Climate Quiz** 🌡️ **Climate Interactive EN-ROADS simulator** ☁️ **Cloud optimisation: cost, CO₂ and Scope 3** Bring your laptop. Teams will compete for points, prizes and eternal Data Thursday glory. AI is allowed, but beware: some answers need to be explained in your own words. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 **// 18:00** — Doors open + pizza **// 18:30 – 19:15** — First round **// 19:15 – 20:00** — Second round **// 20:00 – 20:45** — Third round **// 20:45 – 21:00** — Wrap-up / evaluation **// 21:00 – 21:30** — Drinks & networking **// 21:30** — End 📍 **The Henry, B. Amsterdam — B.1** Johan Huizingalaan 763a, Amsterdam A big thank you to **B. Amsterdam** for once again supporting the Data Thursday community. Because without reliable data, there is no reliable climate action. And this time, we are testing what grows when cloud, climate, AI and community come together. Greetings, Data Tribes Inc & EcoVerum

🎟️ **[REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HERE](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-netherlands/events/mot-netherlands-280526)** 🎟️ **The MoaCM ... which sounds a bit like Mokum (nickname for Amsterdam).** Every tester knows there’s always more going on beneath the surface: the unspoken questions, the unexpected discoveries, the “wait… what just happened?” moments that shape our craft. Our next chapter meeting leans right into that spirit. We’re pulling back the curtain on the things we don’t always talk about, the stories that don’t make the slides, and the hidden agendas that quietly steer our testing journeys. We offer you an evening full of curiosity, connection, and a few delightful surprises. Two awesome speakers will take the stage with talks crafted especially for this event. Sorry, no spoilers, but trust me, you will want to be in the room when they drop their insights. Add great food, lightning talks, stroopwafels, and the kind of hallway conversations that only happen at Ministry of Testing gatherings, and you’ve got yourself a night worth marking in bold on your calendar. **PROGRAM:** **17:00 – Arrival & Grabbing a Seat** Ease in, find your spot, and enjoy your complimentary stroopwafel. Consider it the warm‑up round for your brain. **17:20 – Opening Remarks** A quick kickoff to set the tone and spark your curiosity. **17:30 – Talk 1: Sanne Visser** The wheel is spinning but the hamster is stuck. (Knowing Sanne, expect something sharp, thoughtful, and delightfully unexpected). **18:30 – Dinner** Fuel up with good food, because even testers need to keep their internal combustion engines running smoothly. **19:30 – Talk 2: Veerle Verhagen** tba… (And yes, Veerle will absolutely bring her ever-present energy, brilliant insight, and probably a twist we will not see coming). **20:30 – Closing & Lightning Talks** A few final thoughts from your chapter lead, followed by the community taking the mic. Share an idea, pitch a question, or drop a testing gem … lightning‑style. **Followed by – Networking Drinks** Stay, chat, unwind, and connect. No fixed end time; we leave when the energy fades or the building politely tells us it’s time to go. 🎟️ **[REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HERE](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-netherlands/events/mot-netherlands-280526)** 🎟️

Every AI pipeline starts with one question: where does the data come from? In this hands-on workshop, we'll answer that question using Scrapy, one of Python's most powerful web scraping frameworks. You'll go from a blank project to a working spider that harvests structured data from the web, ready to feed into your next AI or data science project. We'll cover: • Scrapy vs. lighter tools (Requests & Beautiful Soup), and when each makes sense • Extracting data from HTML using CSS selectors • Following links and handling pagination at scale • Writing clean, structured output to a file • The ethical and legal side of web scraping Bonus (Gold Star): a chapter on scraping JavaScript-rendered pages for those who want to go further. 🐍 Python basics assumed — no prior scraping experience needed **Agenda** \- 18:00 Doors Open \- 18:30 Start of the Workshop \- 20:15 Workshop Closing & Announcements \- 20:30 Networking \- 21:00 Event Closing **GitHub Repo** [Scalable Data Harvesting for AI](https://github.com/pyladiesams/scalable-data-harvesting-for-ai-may2026) **Stream** [YouTube Stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wqXbShaAvU) ​**📧 Contact** Are you interested in speaking at one of our events?

**From DLP Best Practices to Government Cloud Security with Microsoft Purview** **Datum, tijd, locatie** 📅 Datum: Vrijdag 29 Mei 2026 🕐 Tijd: 12:30 - 17:00 📍 Locatie: RawWorks, De Vork 2, 3984 PA Odijk **Introductie** Tijdens deze editie van de Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community Meetup #8 staat de realiteit van data security in zowel commerciële als publieke omgevingen centraal. We combineren twee krachtige praktijkperspectieven: de implementatie van Data Loss Prevention (DLP) binnen organisaties en een grootschalige cloudmigratie binnen de publieke sector met Microsoft Purview. Deze middag draait om concrete ervaringen, technische en organisatorische uitdagingen en lessons learned uit de praktijk. Verwacht inzichten die direct toepasbaar zijn om jouw data security en compliance aanpak te versterken. **Wat kan je verwachten?** **Sessie 1 – DLP in de praktijk: Best practices en lessons learned from the field** Martijn van Geffen (Microsoft) DLP binnen Microsoft Purview wordt steeds complexer door de opkomst van AI en het gebruik van meerdere enforcement engines. Traditionele aanpakken schieten tekort wanneer data via AI-tools wordt gedeeld, gekopieerd of geüpload. In deze sessie deelt Martijn van Geffen (Microsoft) praktijkervaringen met DLP-implementaties, met speciale aandacht voor DLP for AI. We bespreken hoe verschillende enforcement engines (Endpoint, Edge, Network, Cloud Apps) zich gedragen bij AI-scenario’s zoals copy/paste en file uploads — en waarom dit vaak leidt tot onverwachte pop-ups en policy-interacties. Daarnaast gaan we in op het verbeteren van de gebruikerservaring (policy tips, Outlook customizations, oversharing notificaties) en het reduceren van false positives. Je krijgt concrete best practices voor het ontwerpen van effectieve policies, het kiezen van de juiste engine voor AI-use cases en het beheersbaar maken van DLP in een moderne Microsoft 365-omgeving. **Customer case – Data Security x Heerenveen** Femke Helgering (RawWorks) Ronald Hofstra (Gemeente Heerenveen) Hoe beveilig je gemeentelijke data tijdens een cloudmigratie naar Microsoft 365? In deze customer case staat het data security traject van Gemeente Heerenveen centraal. Na de migratie is gestart met de implementatie van Microsoft Purview-functionaliteiten zoals Sensitivity Labels, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) en Data Lifecycle Management. Dit bracht zowel technische als organisatorische uitdagingen met zich mee op het gebied van governance, adoptie en bestaande werkwijzen. Femke Helgering (RawWorks) en Ronald Hofstra (Gemeente Heerenveen) delen de praktijkervaringen, keuzes en lessons learned uit dit traject. Je krijgt inzicht in hoe security en gebruiksvriendelijkheid in balans kunnen worden gebracht binnen een overheidscontext. **Agenda** * 12:30 – Inloop met koffie en lunch * 13:30 – Opening door DDSCC * 13:45 – Introductie door RawWorks * 14:00 – DLP in de praktijk: Best practices en lessons learned from the field, Martijn van Geffen, Microsoft * 14:45 – Pauze * 15:15 – Customer case - Data Security x Heerenveen, Femke Helgering & Ronald Hofstra, RawWorks & Gemeente Heerenveen * 16:00 – Ronde tafel gesprekken * 16:30 – Borrel & netwerken (tot 17:00 uur) **Additionele informatie** **Parkeren** Bezoekers kunnen parkeren bij de parkeerplaats van de Sint Nicolaas Kerk: Sint Nicolaaslaan 1, 3984 JA Odijk Vanaf daar is het enkele minuten lopen naar de locatie van RawWorks.
