Der König ist tot, es lebe der König. So könnte man das neue Projekt der **Green Software Foundation** umschreiben. Nach Jahren der Entwicklung bei *Amadeus* (führender Anbieter von IT-Lösungen für die Tourismusbranche) wurde das Projekt in Teilen open sourced und der GSF übergeben. Ziel von **Carmen** (Carbon Measurement Engine) ist es alle Emissionen über eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen zu erfassen. Somit tritt es faktisch die Nachfolge von „*Cloud Carbon Footprint*“ an und nutzt auch dessen Kennzahlen. Im Kern setzt Carmen auf das Impact Framework auf und bringt es in die reale Anwendung. Zu Gast haben wir **Florent Morel**, der Kopf hinter Carmen. Er wird uns mit einem Deep Dive in das Tooling einführen und zeigt uns, wie wir Carmen konkret einsetzen können.

**Hello ProductTank Slovenia community,** We’re excited to invite you to a special upcoming ProductTank Slovenia event featuring **Dušan Omerčević**, founder of **Codeplain.ai.** Dušan is a builder, entrepreneur, and product-minded leader working at the intersection of technology, innovation, and practical problem-solving. He has held senior engineering and product leadership roles at **Najdi.si** and **Zemanta**, and founded **Cleanshelf**, and, without claiming causation too boldly, it does seem that companies he touches tend to become acquisition-worthy😉. Najdi.si was acquired by **Telekom Slovenije**, Zemanta by **Outbrain**, and Cleanshelf by **LeanIX**. He is now focused on building in the AI space with **Codeplain.ai**, turning complex technology into practical tools people can use. At this event, we want to go beyond titles and success stories. We want to learn from someone who is doing important work, creating impact, and navigating the real challenges that come with building products and companies. This time, instead of a longer interview, we’ll start with a short warm-up and then pull questions directly from the audience so the community can lead the conversation. **Why attend?** This format gives you the chance to ask what you really want to hear about, from product and entrepreneurship to leadership, AI, and lessons from building meaningful things. It’s also a great opportunity to meet and connect with other members of the ProductTank Slovenia community, with plenty of time for networking before and after the session. **Event details** 📅 **Date:** 06.05.2026 🕒 **Time:** 18:00 📍 **Location:** Teads, Dunajska cesta 5, Ljubljana

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way.

If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
