\#\# Let's co\-work in San Jose\! We're going to try to get some co-working done this week and wanted to extend the invite to anyone that was able to join. We just plan on meeting up with our laptops and work our own stuff, maybe chat a bit too. All UX enthusiasts are welcome. :) We're meeting at Voyager coffee near (about a block from) San Pedro's Square. Recommended to arrive on-time to ensure a seat with us. Friday\ *1PM-4PM Voyager Coffee Please remember to purchase a drink or food item at Voyager, so that we continue to be welcome. — Location — Slight change of location, moving to Voyager coffee and we'll likely have a table outside! — Parking — There is ample parking around downtown San Jose, although it is often paid parking.

Come learn and play quidditch (aka quadball), a mix between a bunch of different sports, including soccer, basketball, football, and dodgeball. All genders welcome. New players welcome; we'll teach you the rules. Bring water and your cleats/running shoes. Look for the hoops on poles. You play at your own risk.

The de facto weekly meetup. We are a long-standing club which meet on Thursdays 7:00pm to closing at the Sunnyvale Whole Foods. We have been around in some form or shape for the past 20 years, and have a large number of regulars (typically 20-30 people a week). Club meetings mostly consist of: 1. a lot of casual play 2. meet new people! 3. game reviews with stronger players to improve! Our club also has an abnormal amount of strong players, with more than 1/2-3/4 of our players being dan players, the rest being strong single-digit kyu. However, we highly encourage newcomers to join, as we have some of the strongest players in the country to help you improve. Our group of newcomers has been consistently growing in the past year! There is no entry fee and you do not have to bring your own equipment. All we ask is you buy something from the Whole Foods which has graciously provided us the playing space! We hope to see all of you there!!

In calculus, there are several famous theorems that seem separate at first: the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem. But under the hood, they are all saying the same deep thing: **What happens inside a region is connected to what happens on its boundary.** That is the conceptual heart of Stokes’ Theorem. In this meetup, we will explore the big picture behind these theorems, not just grind through formulas. We will ask: What does it mean for a boundary to “measure” what is happening inside? Why does circulation around the edge tell us something about rotation inside? Why does flux through a surface tell us something about sources and sinks inside? How is the ordinary Fundamental Theorem of Calculus already the simplest version of Stokes’ Theorem? We will go through the conceptual meaning of: **1\. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus** How change over an interval is captured by the values at the endpoints. **2\. Green’s Theorem** How circulation around a curve relates to rotation inside a region. **3\. Stokes’ Theorem** How circulation around a boundary curve relates to curl across a surface. **4\. The Divergence Theorem** How outward flow through a boundary surface relates to sources and sinks inside a volume. Then we will look at the proof idea: how these theorems work by breaking a region into tiny pieces, where all the internal boundaries cancel out, leaving only the outer boundary. That cancellation is the magic trick. Everything inside shakes hands and disappears; only the edge remains standing. No advanced background is required, but comfort with basic calculus, vectors, and geometry will help. The goal is not just to memorize formulas, but to understand why these theorems are powerful and why they show up everywhere in physics, geometry, engineering, and differential equations. This session is for people who want to see calculus not as a bag of tricks, but as a unified language for change, flow, rotation, and boundaries.

Join us for a fun afternoon with jigsaw puzzling friends, tasty drinks and yummy food! **Team Speed Puzzling** Teams of 4 will race to complete a 500pc mystery jigsaw puzzle.

Meet and collaborate with other people using and learning the Rust programming language! Rustaceans of all interests and skill levels are welcome. Bring a laptop and something to hack on in person, whether it's a long-term OSS project or Rust learning exercises ([github.com/rust-lang/rustlings)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings). Our meetings have no agenda or formal presentations, we simply share our Rust projects, questions, and enthusiasm with each other. **SNACKS** Hot tea, coffee, soda, and snacks are provided. **WHAT IS RUST?** Rust ([rust-lang.org](https://www.rust-lang.org/)) is a relatively new programming language that prioritizes performance and memory safety. Rust is widely applied, from fundamental projects like operating systems and databases to game development and web applications using Web Assembly.
