Pozdravljeni! Let's meet up for another session of python, friendship and pizza, at Računalniški Muzej. We have four amazing talks: **Nejc Zupan:** **Rust replacements for common Python tools** I’ve been using pyflakes, pep8, mypy, black, pre-commit and similiar tooling for ages. But I’ve recently replaced them with their rust(y) twins. I’ll share how and why. **Dror Speiser: Fastest scalable brute force image matching with python** We'll go over how to do a huge one-time image matching computation, with python as the perfect driving orchestrating language, comparing different ways to parallelize and optimize the work. **Rok Mušič: Decorators, Demystified** A step by step introduction to decorators from the ground up: what they really are, why the @ syntax is just object transformation, how to write your own decorators, and what commonly used decorators (e.g. @dataclass, @staticmethod, etc.) actually do. **Dejan Murko: I Am the Developer Now** Following up on last year’s vibe coding talk and the progression of building software without development skills. After talks we'll have drinks and pizza. See you there!

Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment. Participation fee: 15 € per session Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Upcoming Thursday Sessions for Summer Season: 4.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 11.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 18.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 25.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 2.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 9.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 23.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 30.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) Zoom link for all sessions: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766267672 Open Heart ashram (meditation center) is located in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia.

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events.
