**Build & Gin: "Gradimo zdrav tim"** *(druga radionica u seriji)* ### **O radionici** Kako izgleda zdrav tim u stvarnosti, ne idealan, nego onaj koji funkcionira i kad nije savršeno? Nakon radionice o disfunkcijama tima, idemo korak dalje. Na ovoj radionici istražujemo **kako se zdrav tim svjesno gradi**: * kroz ponašanja, * odnose i * svakodnevne odluke. Radionica započinje opuštenim uvodom: sudionici sami pripremaju svoj **gin tonik**, kao metaforu različitosti i osobnih stilova. Nastavljamo kroz **LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® metodu**, gdje svi aktivno sudjeluju, grade, dijele i reflektiraju. ### **Što ćeš dobiti?** * jasniju sliku što čini zdrav tim * uvid u vlastitu ulogu u timu * konkretna ponašanja koja jačaju suradnju * opušteno, sigurno i zabavno iskustvo ### **Serija radionica 2026.** 1. **Gradimo zdrav tim** 2. **Od pojedinaca do tima** 3. **Temelji jakog tima** 4. **Kako tim ostaje jak kad nije lako** **Radionicu vode:** **Josipa Borić-Novosel & Leonid Kushnir** LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® treneri i facilitatori 📍 Lokacija: **TBD, Beograd** 📅 Datum: 25.5.2026., **Okupljanje od 17:10 \| Početak u 17:30 \| Završetak u 20:00** ⚠️ 💶 Cijena: 20€- plaćanje na licu mjesta Studenti: 10€ 📧 **Prijave obavezne:** \*kroz Meetup aplikaciju i **mailom: jbn@astyre.hr**.

Hey everyone! Join us for our next meetup on **May 27th** starting at **18:00** at a new venue - **Pogon Mislavova** (Kneza Mislava 18). We'll have an interesting talk by our own Vitaliy, followed by our usual networking. Afterwards, we'll either stay at Pogon or head to a nearby bar (Canopy Bar sounds like a good option). \*\*\* Electron in Production: Building Efficient Desktop Apps with Native Modules by **Vitaliy Yunikov** VS Code, Slack, Figma, Linear, Notion — a lot of the desktop apps web developers use daily - are all Electron. Electron also has a reputation for being slow and bloated. Both are true: a well-built Electron app feels native, a default one doesn't. This talk covers what production Electron teams know that the docs don't tell you. We'll go through the process model and what each process costs, the security defaults you need from day one, the JS-side performance moves that buy back the memory Chromium charges, and what happens when pure JavaScript stops being fast enough - going native with N-API, including the data, threading, and memory contracts that surprise even experienced JS developers. Hope to see you there! Marcela

Hi everyone! Join us for RubyZG May meetup. We have 2 great talks lined up: Vlado will show us how to go beyond the default Rails 8 PWA setup and build apps that work offline, and Bruno will talk about using more database features in Rails with Scenic and FX. This is also our first meetup at a new location: [Pogon, in Mislavova street](https://www.pogon.hr/rezerviraj-prostor/mislavova/opis/). After the talks, we're going for drinks nearby. There are a couple of interesting options around, including Monocycle, Boogie Lab and Branimir Mall, so we can vote on the favorite after the formal part of the meetup. See you at Pogon! \*\*\* **Beyond manifest and service-worker: Rails PWAs in Practice** by [Vlado Cingel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladocingel/) Rails 8 ships with PWA support out of the box, but the built-in /manifest.json and /service-worker.js routes are just the starting line. In this talk we'll go from that default to a fully offline app: caching pages, storing structured data and building forms that work without a network. **Database Features, the Rails Way** by [Bruno Sutic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brunosutic/) Rails makes database work simple, but sometimes the right solution lives closer to the database. In this talk we'll look at Scenic and FX, two gems that help us use views, functions and triggers in PostgreSQL while keeping the workflow familiar to Rails developers.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal. And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck. Private lenders are more cautious. Partners are asking better questions. And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up. That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now. You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help** Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals. **The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)** Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.
