**Never tried Grafana before? This workshop is for you!** APIs are the backbone of modern software development. They power everything from mobile apps to internal tools, but let’s be honest, reading through raw JSON or API responses isn’t the most exciting way to work with data. What if you could turn that data into clean, interactive graphs without writing a ton of custom code or spinning up a backend server? That’s where Grafana comes in! **Grafana** is an open-source data visualisation and observability platform that lets you create interactive, real-time dashboards from various data sources. It’s best known for visualising metrics from systems like Prometheus or InfluxDB, but thanks to its plugin ecosystem, it can do much more. **In this fun, beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll:** * Explore what Grafana is all about * Connect to an API using the Grafana Infinity plugin * Configure a simple query and pull the data into Grafana * Turn that data into a beautiful dashboard with different panel types **No prior knowledge of Grafana** is required as this session is beginner-friendly, but bring your **(well charged) laptops** as this will be a hands-on session!

🎭 ***A fresh wave with a unique lens, offering a heartfelt love letter to French cinema.*** 👋 **Hello, everyone!** We’ll be meeting for a relaxed evening at the **BFI Southbank**—starting with drinks and then watching **Richard Linklater’s** latest comedy-drama, **Nouvelle Vague**. It had a stellar run at last year’s **BFI London Film Festival**, earning high praise from both critics and audiences—so if you missed it, this is your perfect chance to catch this limited run! The film is a playful, meta reimagining of **Jean-Luc Godard’s** iconic debut, offering a nostalgic nod to the rebellious French New Wave. And of course, Linklater brings his signature themes—suburban life and the passage of time—into the mix, making this a fascinating watch. Since it’s a weekday late-night showing, we’ll **meet for drinks first**, head into **Screen NFT1**, and then wrap up with a quick **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse) Review** after. **Let’s embrace this New Wave in style—I’m looking forward to seeing you all there!** **Faheem** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you ***sign up*** but later can’t make it, please 🙏 **just drop us a quick message** (or change your RSVP) — it really helps with planning.

Starting at The Flying Horse Pub in Oxford Street we will take a walk around the more colourful and brightly lit parts of London. The task for this walk is to emulate the type of cinematic colour shots inspired by films. I would suggest to use something like Kodak Vision 3 500T or Cinestill 800T. To get some good bokeh you will be best advised to use a lens with a wide aperture. After the walk we'll reconvene to a local pub for some socialising. I will set up a WhatsApp group to discuss Bokeh and how to go about it with links to other sites. Please add your name to the group early so you see all discussions.

An elegant evening of dancing to a mixture of Ballroom, Latin, salsa, bachata and some sequence to good tempo tracks on a sprung dance floor. whether you are a competent dancer, starting out or just curious, you will have a fun evening and dance the night away with a friendly crowd. Extras: Dance hosts available all evening. Half price entry for private dance hosts if booked by 2 or more dancers. **Includes a complimentary glass of prosecco and light refreshments. You're welcome to bring a reasonable amount of alcohol** **The evening will start with an Ice breaker class and party dances to get you up and dancing.

Check the end for terms and conditions, by booking you are agreeing to them. **What to expect for first-timers:** by now I have organised over 1000 photography workshops and you can see my work [here](https://vosa.photography/). My approach is allowing one-on-one time with the model in a small group with a laissez-faire style, not intruding on the creative process or micromanaging. I want to be helpful without choking your creativity. People with different experience levels mix in the group, so I will ask how I can help, where you are at in your photography and if there is anything you wish to improve or if there is anything you like to try. Perhaps you just want to get your camera out, get confidence, practice and shoot, and that's fine too! If you want to test or learn something, I will help you; if you need advice, I will help you too, and if you just want to shoot and have a good time, that's great too! We meet outside Bank Station infront of the Royal Exchange big stairs. Save on booking fees and get one on one tuition on our website at: [https://vosaphotographyworkshops.com/event/photography-workshop-with-aurora/](https://vosaphotographyworkshops.com/event/photography-workshop-with-aurora/) We are booked with Aurora We will assist each other, making it a great day to try and test.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
