Drawing from observation teaches you how co-ordinate the eye and hand, and working from the nude model is the most rewarding kind of drawing. A set of taught classes will explain fundamental aspects of drawing the figure, and give tips and show tricks of exploring the materials, methods and approaches to rendering the figure on paper. This class is suitable for everyone- from beginners just starting off on their drawing journey, to more experienced people who want to build up their skills set. Basic techniques are outlined in every class, and then more complex exercises are explored. Drawing exercises take place in an easy, informal setting. Measuring, sighting, and understanding negative space and shading are explored as well as basic anatomy and proportion. Some easels and drawing boards are provided. Basic drawing materials and paper are included in the price (but feel free to bring your own). [-Book Here](http://dublinlifedrawing.com/short-course) Small class sizes with tuition and instruction will help with developing your own drawing methods and style. The teaching exercises are based on fine art practice but will be of great interest to illustrators, designers, and animators.

​You already know what OpenClaw is. You've probably starred the repo. Maybe you've spun it up once and hit a wall somewhere around channel config or API keys or "wait, which model am I actually running?" ​That's what this night is for. ## **Register on this link to confirm your RSVP:** [https://giveago.co/register/openclaw](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw) ​This event is brought to you in collaboration with **Give(a)Go** and **AI Collective** — and the team from Jentic who have been running OpenClaw agents in production and building skills on top of it. They'll be in the room to help you through it. Bring your laptop, bring your questions, and by the end of the night you'll have an agent actually running. Talking to you on WhatsApp or Telegram. Doing things. ​**What usually trips people up (and what we'll cover):** * ​Hosting: VPS vs home server, what's actually worth the hassle * ​Channel setup: linking WhatsApp without losing your mind * ​Skills and tools: connecting real APIs so it can actually do stuff * ​Personality and memory: [SOUL.md](https://soul.md/), [MEMORY.md](https://memory.md/), making it yours * ​Model selection: not burning money on every message ​Prep materials go out beforehand. Come ready, or come from zero — both are fine. ​Bring a laptop. That's it. ## **Register on this link to confirm your RSVP:** [https://giveago.co/register/openclaw](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw) **​About Jentic** [Jentic ](https://www.jentic.com/)is the missing layer between your APIs and AI agents.

“What a pathetic life.” Akutsu, an elderly inmate serving life in prison, is on the verge of a lonely death in his solitary cell. The voice mocking him belongs to a balsam flower with an uncanny ability to talk. Through their ‘conversation,’ Akutsu begins to reflect on his past. 1987, summer. In a town by the sea, down-and-out yakuza Akutsu moves into a shabby apartment found for him by his sworn brother, Tsutsumi. Out in the yard, a balsam flower grows. Akutsu shares his new home with Nana, a woman six years his junior, and her newborn son Kensuke. From their veranda, they watch a massive fireworks display. The three of them live happily, until Akutsu suddenly finds himself in need of a huge sum of money, which leads him to join Tsutsumi in an attempt to rob their own organization’s safe of 300 million yen... “You gotta hit a dead end to get a chance to turn it around.” This is the tale of one man’s life, and the ones he loves. tickets can be bought [Here](https://www.lighthousecinema.ie/film/the-last-blossom) then meetup for some food if interested location tba

Hi All, The feedback was: More best practices! More code! Less slides! And here we go ... Building on the success and momentum of the first meetup this year (in/with ServiceNow), we are doing our second Practitioners Day! Brian Kelleher (CEO @ MicroDoc) is back and will talk about agents which iterate and check their own work in the cloud when certain conditions are met (e.g. new sentry issue, new user email, new PR). I will do another no-slides/just-code session and will probably demo Github speckit (an opinionated Spec-Driven Design framework). This time we are hosted by UCD. We will be in the brand new O'Connor Centre for Learning (Room L1.03). The agenda for the evening will be ... * 18:00 - Doors open. Pizza and Drinks - All * 18:30 - Welcome - Roland * 18:45 - Making Agents work for you - Brian * 19:30 - No slides. Just code - Roland * 20:00 - Wrap up. More mingling - All Hope to see you then and there. Regards ... Roland

This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady. DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>> https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!) ## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how. ## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices** In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when. Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem. Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
