This is now an online ONLY event! The link will be posted the day of the event. Thank you! Because of the increase in Zoom-bombing \* Only people who are signed up as an attendee for the event will be admitted to the meeting. So, it's helpful if you set your full name as your Zoom name so it aligns with your Meetup name. This way it will make it easier for me to see who you are when you are in the waiting room. \* Once you are added to the meeting, please have your cam turned on. Once you are identified with your cam on, you can feel free to turn it off if makes you feel more comfortable or you want to minimize using up your bandwidth. This way, any Zoom-bomber that does makes into the meeting can easily be identified and banned.

Digital/virtual via Jitsi ad hoc philosophic conversation. Exchange deep thinking on the persistent question of human existence.

At noon on the 2nd Wednesday of every month we host a social meeting on Zoom with mini talks and breakout rooms. The main room will always be open for social time but we plan to have 1-2 topic breakouts you can join. If the breakout session topic interests you, join that discussion. Feeling more like a casual chat and exploring other topics? Visit the main room to strike up a conversation. Suggest topics you’d like to see breakout rooms for and let us know if you’d like to sign up to lead one.

**What is Meditation on Twin Hearts?** Meditation on Twin Hearts is a short-guided meditation blessing the earth with loving-kindness, peace and goodwill. In return, we reap the amazing benefits of inner harmony. **Benefits:** • Reduces stress • Increases peace, love, and compassion • Increases physical health • Increases mental clarity • Enhances spirituality • Improves relationships **Online via Zoom:** [https://us05web.zoom.us/j/85226786681?pwd=eXd2ZUQ3NkNnaUFYSk00U2o4aWxIZz09](https://us05web.zoom.us/j/85226786681?pwd=eXd2ZUQ3NkNnaUFYSk00U2o4aWxIZz09) Meditation on Twin Hearts is practiced worldwide by people of different nationalities and religious backgrounds. This powerful instrument is an advanced meditation technique introduced by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, the modern founder of Pranic Healing® and Arhatic Yoga®. This guided meditation works on the heart chakra (the physical heart) and the crown chakra (the spiritual heart), thereby enabling you to draw down a great amount of high-quality divine energy into the crown chakra increasing inner illumination. The base of the meditation is the Prayer of Saint Francis, " Make me an Instrument of thy peace." Meditation on Twin Hearts can be done by a group as a form of world service. The effectiveness of the blessings is magnified many times more as a group meditating rather than as an individual. *CAUTION* People who should not practice this Meditation: People with severe hypertension, people with severe heart ailments, people with glaucoma, pregnant women, people who smoke heavily, people under 16 years of age.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**Comedy Night + Open Mic + Freestyle**: Tristan Shae and friends return to entertain us and to warm the group up for our open mic session. February's Open Mic / Comedy Night was a smash hit and it's worth a second night. We'll start with Tristan Shae and a couple of his friends. Tristan is an alternative comic from Columbus, Ohio. A counselor by day, Tristan explores how comedy can improve mental health by telling jokes and stories that muse on how absurd life can be from squeaky clean topics to not so clean ones. Tristan produces the variety show Cheaper Than Therapy, hosts the weekly Problem Child Alt Comedy Open Mic at The Attic, and can be found engaging in all sorts of silliness around the city from stand up shows at The Nest Theater, The Attic, or The Funny Bone, to improv and sketch shows with various groups at various venues such as The Hashtag Comedy Club. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Please join us. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
