📕 **Agenda**
**17:00 - 17:25:** Drop-in, food/drink-grabbing and mingle
**17:25 - 17:30:** Introductions
**17:30 - 18:00:** *Measuring what matters and setting the right expectations*, [Alex Ewerlöf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexewerlof/)
**18:00 - 18:20:** Mingle

1️⃣ **Measuring what matters and setting the right expectations**, [Alex Ewerlöf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexewerlof/)
Service Levels (SLI/SLO) are even more relevant in the age of AI-generated blackboxes. In this talk, Alex talks about:

1. A foolproof methodology to get to meaningful metrics that tie to business objectives and are worth being on-call for
2. Exploring why the AI era makes Service Levels more relevant than ever, but there's a catch.

[Alex](https://www.alexewerlof.com/) is an [author](https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/rem) and open source developer with 27 years experience and MSc in Systems Engineering from KTH. He has the last 8 years as SRE (senior and staff) helping large and small organizations measure what matters and set reasonable expectations while avoiding [broken ownership](https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/broken-ownership). He has also spent the last few years building an AI powered (BYOK) [app](https://srvlvl.com/) that replaces his role and if there's time he may show a demo.

2️⃣ **Not Just Code: My First OpenTelemetry: Contribution & Hands-On to Open Source**, [Imma Valls](https://www.linkedin.com/in/imma-valls)
Starting in open source can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. In this session, I will share my journey into OpenTelemetry and the CNCF ecosystem, explore both code and non-code contribution paths, and demonstrate how to create and submit a pull request in a real open source project.
This session will highlight concrete next steps: **LFX Mentorship, Outreachy, and Google Summer of Code**, programs that offer mentorship and visibility to help you make that first contribution with support. Whether you're a student or working professional, you'll leave with a clear first step to take today.

Imma Valls is a Staff Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs and an [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) maintainer for the Spanish localization docs.

**📍Location**
[Magello](https://magello.se/) office: Västgötagatan 2\, 118 27 Stockholm \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/FPhEqLjttBHEneEt8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/FPhEqLjttBHEneEt8)

We’re back for our autumn meetup edition, and this time we’re taking Grafana beyond the usual dashboards to track aircraft overhead in real time (and more).
Join us for an evening of surprising ideas, live data, and a talk you will not want to miss!

Speakers:

* **Simon Prickett, Senior Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs**
* **Martin Costello, Staff Software Engineer at Grafana Labs**

**18:00 - 18:30:** Arrivals and food 🍕
**18:30 - 20:10 Main talks**
1. **Aircraft Tracking with Grafana and Redis by Simon Prickett**

Most people think of Grafana as the go to solution for monitoring Kubernetes clusters, databases, and application metrics. In this talk, I'll use it for something completely different: tracking aircraft flying overhead in real time using a Raspberry Pi, a software-defined radio, and publicly broadcast ADS-B signals. Starting with an empty database, we'll pull data out of the air during the session and see what we can learn about the local airspace. What could possibly go wrong?

2. **Making Your First Open Source Contribution by** **Martin Costello**
A lot of people are enthusiastic to contribute to an open source project, but can feel intimidated and overwhelmed by where to start and how to propose a change. In this talk I'll offer tips from 13 years of experience contributing to open source projects on what makes a good first contribution (spoilers: not just a new feature!) and how to structure your first PR to maximise the chances of it being accepted, particularly in this new age of AI agents. Maybe this could be the first step on your open source journey?

**20:10-20:30 -** lightning talk slot.
**This could be you - contact us if you'd like to speak about a Grafana use case, or show us your dashboard.**

Grafana & Friends London: Autumn edition

123 Pentonville Rd, London N1 9LG

🚀 Bienvenue à l’édition de Septembre de notre meetup Grafana & Friends France !

Nous sommes ravis de vous inviter au prochain meetup Grafana qui se déroulera dans les bureaux de **Lenstra**, à **Paris** – un immense merci à eux pour leur accueil chaleureux !

Lenstra : [site internet](https://lenstra.co/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lenstra/)

**\*\*\***

**Les portes ouvrent à 18h30, et les présentations débuteront à 19h !**

**📋 Au programme :**

**🎙️ « Un dashboard, mille contextes »**, présenté par Yaëlle Chaudy - Senior Manager Engineering chez Grafana Labs.
*Filtres, variables multi-properties, variables déclarées au niveau instance/dossier/dashboard/section: comment utiliser ces nouvelles fonctionnalités pour construire un seul dashboard qui sert à toute l’équipe, au lieu de dix copies qui divergent.*
*Démos et cas pratiques inclus.*

**🎙️ « Grafana as Code : on a testé tous les patterns, on vous donne celui qui fonctionne et nos bonnes pratiques. »** par Arthur Caldeireiro et Kevin Andrieux - SRE/DevOps Engineers chez Lenstra.
*Un dashboard modifié à la main un vendredi soir. Un JSON de 200 lignes illisible en review. Un export depuis l'UI qui décale tous les IDs de panels. Un copier-coller entre environnements avec des UID codés en dur. On connaît tous ce scénario.*
*Le templatefile() en Terraform règle la duplication, mais on reste coincé avec un JSON qu'on triture à coups de chaînes de caractères : aucune validation, aucune vraie abstraction.*
*Chez Lenstra, on a construit autre chose : un pattern qui pilote entièrement datasources et dashboards Grafana depuis Terraform, avec une structure claire plutôt que du JSON brut ou templaté. Dans ce talk, Kevin et Arthur racontent comment on est passés de la souris au terraform apply, les pièges rencontrés en chemin, et ce qu'on a fini par retenir.*

**💬** Le tout suivi par un moment de Networking et d’échanges entre nos participants et speakers !

Nos meetups sont ouverts à tous, débutants ou experts. Au plaisir de pouvoir vous y retrouver !

Mobile and Modern AI Observability

Nokia Toronto Downtown (14th floor)

Summer break is over and we are back with our second Grafana & Friends meetup in Nuremberg, hosted at the NETWAYS office! Meet like-minded people, observability practitioners, and community members like yourself.

So far, we've managed to secure one speaker, talking about OTLP bringing together multiple solutions in the monitoring space:

* Yonas Habteab, Developer @ Icinga

Want to see your name here, or maybe know of a colleague or friend who wants to speak at a local meetup? Reach out!

**(Rough) schedule:**

* 🎉 **18:00 Introductions & snacking time**
Kick off the evening with a warm welcome in the evening sun, enjoy a slice of pizza, and have a cold drink!
* 🎙️ **18:30 Talk 1: Bridging Icinga 2 & Grafana with OTLP [DE]**
Yonas will talk about how you can integrate Icinga2 with Grafana using the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) for enhanced observability and monitoring capabilities.
* **🎙️ 19:15 Talk 2: TBA**
* **💬 Open End: Q&A and Networking**
Stay around, have some more foods, drinks, and most importantly, great conversations!

The event is well-suited for DevOps and Site-Reliability engineers, and we welcome people who are new to Grafana or observability. We look forward to seeing you all there!
