Tips for a great event Be descriptive A good title immediately gives people an idea of what the event is about. Get organized Describe things in a clear order so it's easy to digest. Start with an overall description of the event and include a basic agenda, before you move into really specific details. Add an image Upload a photo or image to give members a better feel for the event.

Let's back to run ! We will meet by the Magic Fountain (Font Magica de Montjuic (https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2)) - Plaça de Carles Buïgas at the end of the first stairs - just 2 minutes walking from placa Espana towards Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. We'll decide the route on the day.. or just follow Olivier... ;) We'll meet at 7:00pm but we'll start running at 7:05pm. Please be on time. Normally we do about 8-10kms in an hour during which we climb to the castle at the top of Montjuic. The accumulated elevation is about 300m depending on the route. Note that this is *NOT* a beginner's run. It can be quite challenging. We recommend that you only join this run if, on a flat course, you can do 10km in 50mins or less or really like running up hill! If not it might be better to first start with one of the beach runs on Tuesday or Thursday. Starting from October it is getting dark pretty early and not all the streets of the route have lights. If you have a headlamp please bring it with you but it is not mandotory. Let´s do the entire route together and after the training we can go as usual for a fresh drink at a bar nearby *** De vuelta en el Montjuic ! Quedamos en la Plaça de Carles Buïgas (donde está la Font Magica de Montjuic), exactamente aquí (https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2), al lado de la barandilla que está al final de las primeras escaleras. Si vienes desde plaça Espanya, son 2 minutos caminando en dirección al Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Cada lunes hacemos un recorrido distinto por Montjuic que decidimos en el mismo día… o sencillamente seguimos a Olivier… ;) Nos encontramos a las 7:00, y empezamos a correr a las 7:05. Normalmente hacemos más o menos 8-10 km en una hora, subiendo hasta el castillo en la cima de Montjuic, con un desnivel positivo total de cerca de 300 metros. Es un entrenamiento exigente aunque accesible si ya tienes algo de experiencia corriendo. No está hecho para debutante. Por favor apúntate solo si puedes correr 10km en 50 minutos mas o menos. De octubre a mayo el recorrido es de noche por lo que es recomendable llevar frontal, aunque si no tienes, no hace falta. Realizamos todo el recorrido juntos y después del entreno solemos ir a tomar algo a un bar cercano. Monday is Montjuic track example https://www.strava.com/activities/926870931 https://www.strava.com/activities/5431087155 https://www.strava.com/activities/5275162408 OIivier

🔧 Join us for **two talks** focusing on **getting more out of PHP** without unnecessary complexity, from async execution to performance insights. Stay for **discussion, drinks, and snacks** afterward. **Details** ⏰ Aptil 9th 🗓 Starting 6:30 pm 🇬🇧 Talks in English 🎟 Free 📍NN Working. Carrer de Pau Claris, 194, L'Eixample, 08037 Barcelona (4th floor) **Talks:** **1\. Topic:** **PHP Fibers: simplifying async code and speeding up development** **Speaker:** [Max Fomichev](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxim-fomichev/), Infrastructure Engineer at Manychat **About the Talk** We constantly search for creative ways to get maximum out of php, without bringing excessive complexity for our developers daily work. In this speech I'll sum up our way, describe where are we now in a bit, and share how we started to use fibers and asynchronous http requests to speed up both our code writing and execution, while avoiding excessive cognitive load for our developers dealing with "asynchronous" programming. **About the Speaker** Max has decades of experience in IT, primarily focused on programming in PHP and running Unix servers. For the past six years, he has been working at Manychat, a leading chat-marketing platform, where I combine the roles of an Infrastructure Engineer, SRE, and developer, optimizing systems and ensuring reliability. **2\. Topic:** PHP Performance Demystified - Measure, Understand, Optimize **Speaker:** [Volker Dusch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/volker-dusch/), Head Of Engineering at Tideways, PHP 8.5 Release Manager **About the Talk** In this talk, we'll explore options for PHP performance analysis. From understanding how the PHP virtual machine and OPCodes work, to performing your own reliable and meaningful benchmarks, and how to use request profiling using open-source and commercial offerings. You will leave with an overview of the available tools and an understanding of how to use them in your day-to-day. Learning how to spot bottlenecks and optimize them away efficiently and confidently. **About the Speaker** With over 20 years of software development experience, Volker has seen PHP grow and mature from PHP 3, working on long-living custom applications in high-traffic environments. From social networks to medical data processing, he has worked as an engineer, team lead, and Head of Engineering, mostly focusing on PHP, Go, C, JavaScript, HTML/CSS and System Operations. https://phpc.social/@edorian **Thanks to Manychat to host the meetup** – [Learn more](http://%5Bhttps/%5B%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D%5D(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D)(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D(medium.com/manychat-engineering%5D))(https:/%5B%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D)(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D(medium.com/manychat-engineering)))) about Manychat Engineering – [Careers](http://%5Bhttps/%5B%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D%5D(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D)(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D(careers.manychat.com/%5D))(https:/%5B%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D)(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D(careers.manychat.com/)))) at Manychat – [Videos](http://%5Bhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d%5D(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d) "\[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d\](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d)") from the previous meetups

Hi everyone! 😊 Spring is here and we are ready to start moving in the sun! Let's start working on back health & posture — with fresh air, movement, and good energy! This session will be different, as I would like to introduce you to Qigong with bamboo stick. We’ll meet at 10:30 AM on the beach next to the beach Platja Riera Xica, the beach in front of Hotel Subur Maritim. 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/8MJLLyYNfy9h9BbV6 We’ll enjoy a relaxed back health & posture session focused on: * improving posture * reducing stiffness from sitting * gentle movement and mobility * feeling better in your body The cost for the class is 8€. All levels are welcome — this is not about pushing hard, but about moving well and feeling good. No need to bring anything, just come as you are. Come move, stretch, breathe, and enjoy a healthy Spring start by the sea 🌊. Your back will thank you. See you on the beach! 😄 Olivia

Vivimos en una realidad compartida, aparentemente objetiva, regida por ciertas reglas del “campo de juego”. Sin embargo, el ser humano, a través de su propio sistema de funcionamiento —mente, emociones y biología—, genera una realidad de segundo orden que interactúa constantemente con esa matriz. Comprender cómo funcionan estas reglas y aprender a manejarlas puede convertirse en una de las claves para crear una realidad más alineada con nuestro propósito de vida y vivir con mayor plenitud y consciencia. En esta conferencia exploraremos, desde una mirada integradora que conecta psicología, biología y física, cómo funciona esta “matrix” y cuál es el verdadero sistema operativo del ser humano. Tomaremos conciencia de posibles distorsiones en nuestra forma de percibir y procesar la realidad, y veremos cómo reprogramar nuestro propio sistema interno para sostener un estado mental y emocional más elevado que impulse cambios reales en nuestra vida. Porque quizá la cuestión no sea **escapar de la Matrix**, sino comprender las reglas del juego… para aprender a jugar mejor. ✨ **Ponente:** Judith Vidal - Psicóloga **Colaboración**: 5€ én efectivo. No Bizum. (Costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Presencial y participativo.

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates for this series are simply placeholders at the moment. We are working on our 2026 schedule, and adjustments are forthcoming. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. 4. As the Etch toolset evolves, so too will the class outline below. **Introduction:** Our Site Building with Etch class provides detailed instructions on the philosophy of the Etch development framework, as well as in-depth, hands-on instruction on using the Etch environment and associated tools. Anyone familiar with Kevin Geary and the Digital Gravy set of products will tell you that they offer ground-breaking approaches to professional WordPress site development. As we write this, the Etch toolset and environment are rapidly taking shape, with weekly quantum leaps forward in WordPress development methodologies. As early investors in the Etch product offering and its development process, we are actively testing and evaluating the toolset as it takes shape. We are beyond excited to see how WordPress site development is being modernized, and can't wait to bring this course set to you. It will be a paradigm shift in page and site development within WordPress, as well as moving your development mindset light-years forward. Join us as we explore Etch and dive deep into development approaches that will genuinely elevate your craft as a website developer and agency provider. Scalable, responsive, compliant websites are now within easy reach, and Etch provides both the platform and toolset to take you there. **The breakdown of the 10-class series is as follows:** * Class 01 - TBD * Class 02 - TBD * Class 03 - TBD * Class 04 - TBD * Class 05 - TBD * Class 06 - TBD * Class 07 - TBD * Class 08 - TBD * Class 09 - TBD * Class 10 - TBD Throughout the class sessions listed above, we cover the following key areas of web development with Etch: * **Introduction to Etch Interface:** * Familiarization with the toolset's layout and understanding how to navigate and interact with its various components. * **Visual Site Building:** * Techniques for creating layouts using Etch's interface, incorporating sections, divs, containers, and elements to build semantically correct page structures. * **Styling and Design:** * Utilizing Etch's styling approach to customize elements, apply global CSS classes for consistent design, and leverage features like Flexbox and CSS Grid for responsive layouts. * **Dynamic Content and Custom Fields:** * Integrating dynamic content from custom post types and custom field plugins (like ACF, Meta Box, and even built-in fields) to build data-driven websites. * **Component Building:** * Creating and managing reusable components for headers, footers, post type layouts, and other site-wide elements. * **Performance Optimization:** * Understanding how Etch contributes to fast-loading websites and implementing performance best practices. * **Advanced Features:** * Depending on the class level, it might delve into advanced topics such as conditional logic, interactions, and custom code integration to enable more complex functionality. The series aims to equip participants with the skills to efficiently build, customize, and maintain WordPress websites using Etch, catering to both beginners and experienced web developers alike.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible.

We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines.
