Agile and Scrum

Please scroll down for English! Egy belső utazásra hívlak a hangok szárnyán kéthetente pénteken. Sólepte burokba. Hanghullámzásba. Befelé fordulásra. Amíg tested egy dönthető széken megpihen, lényed a hanghullámok mossák át. A só behatol a bőröd alá, lágyan tisztítva át a finomenergetikai rendszered. A hangrezgések nyitnak, töltenek, emlékeztetnek. Hullámaik áttörik, felszabadítják a belső energetikai elakadásokat. Megtámogatják, hogy a belső egyensúly helyreálljon. Visszavezetnek az áramlásba. Egy olyan térbe hívlak, ahol test és elme megpihen, a szem lecsukódik és nyílik a szív. 60 percnyi időtlen utazásra önmagadba. Egy csendes kapcsolódásra, magaddal létre. Hozzájárulás: 7000Ft/fő Helyszín: Mandala Sóbarlang Bp. II. Lövőház utca 16a fszt. 3. kapucsengő: 5 Hozz magaddal a sóbarlangba lépéshez egy pár tiszta vastag zoknit, pokrócot és szívbéli szándékodat. A hely adottságai miatt a program kiscsoportos (max 6 fő).

While your body rests on a reclining chair, your being is washed by sound waves. The salt penetrates under your skin, gently cleansing your subtle energy system. The sound vibrations open, fill, remind. Their waves break through, releasing internal energetic blockages. They support you to restore your inner balance. They lead you back into the flow. I invite you to a space where body and mind rest, eyes close and heart open. For a 60-minute timeless journey into yourself. For a silent connection, to create with yourself.

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

**This week's venue: Beer People \| Lázár utca 7\, Budapest 1065** We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees. Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups. At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup. Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event. Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well. The submission guidelines are as follows: 1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event); 2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup; 3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and, 4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

**Hey fellow AWS enthusiasts! ✨** May is all about AWS Partnership! Not a usual topic you hear about at User Groups. So we are more than thrilled to hear about **Deepika Tomar**'s journey as the AWS Cloud Lead at HWS Gruppe on pathing the way for her company to become an AWS Advanced Partner. Thanks to our friends at **[codecentric Nürnberg](https://www.codecentric.de/standorte/nuernberg)** for sponsoring the event with food and drinks and opening their wonderful offices for us! **📆 Tonight's Agenda** 19:00 - Welcoming **19:15 - Talk by Deepika** 20:00 - Food, Drinks & Networking Looking forward to seeing you 👋🏻 [Nora](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nora-schoener/) & [Frank](https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankprechtel/) \-\-\- The talk ⤵️ **From AWS Registered to Advanced Tier in 2 Years: Practical Lessons from the Field** In this session, I will share how we progressed from AWS Registered Partner to Advanced Tier within two years, focusing on real-world actions that made the difference. I will walk through: How AWS Summit connections and community engagement helped shape our partner strategy Building impactful customer case studies and completing the FTR (Foundational Technical Review) successfully How to identify and generate opportunities using the AWS Partner Portal Practical use of POC funding and Marketing Development Funds (MDF) for business growth and employee enablement Key learnings from attending AWS events, webinars, and partner programs This session is intended for AWS partners who want a practical roadmap to accelerate their growth in the AWS ecosystem. The speaker⤵️ **Deepika Tomar, Lead AWS Public Cloud @ HWS Gruppe** AWS Community Builder with 14 years of experience in cloud computing, infrastructure management, and database solutions — I've built a career around turning technology into a lasting competitive advantage. Today, I lead an AWS team driving cloud migration, infrastructure modernization, and a reimagined approach to customer service. This work recently reached a milestone with our organization achieving AWS Partnership status. Whether shaping IT strategy or bridging cross-functional teams, my focus remains constant: harness technology to deliver real business outcomes, streamline operations, and build a governance foundation that grows with the organization. \-\-\- **Please note:** At the event, photos and videos will be taken for marketing purposes both by our hosts and our location sponsors.

Many organizations treat the Product Owner as a backlog administrator, ticket writer, or go-between — and then wonder why their products drift, stall, or miss the mark. The role gets distorted in predictable ways, and the cost is real: slower decisions, misaligned teams, and products that serve processes instead of users. In this session, led by [Tom Molnár](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamas-molnar-57902919/) we'll unpack the **6 misunderstood PO stances** — the anti-patterns that quietly erode value — and contrast them with the **6 effective stances** that make a Product Owner truly impactful. **What we'll cover:** ❌ **Misunderstood stances (anti-patterns):** * **Clerk** — just adds everything to the backlog, no vision or decisions * **Story Writer** — focuses only on writing user stories * **Project Manager** — focuses on deadlines and output instead of value * **Manager** — manages people instead of the product * **Subject Matter Expert** — gets lost in detailed expertise * **Gatekeeper** — becomes a bottleneck; everything goes through them These aren't value-creating behaviors — they're distortions of the role. ✅ **Effective stances:** * **Visionary** — defines a clear product vision and goals; focuses on the future * **Collaborator** — actively works with the team and stakeholders * **Customer Representative** — brings in user needs; explains the "why" * **Decision Maker** — makes fast decisions → faster time-to-market * **Experimenter** — thinks in hypotheses; validates instead of assuming * **Influencer** — creates alignment across the organization A good PO isn't just one of these — it's a combination of all. 🎯 **Key takeaway:** According to Scrum, the PO's goal is to maximize value. Many organizations misunderstand this. The goal is to recognize when you slip into a bad stance and shift back. **Who should attend:** Product Owners, Scrum Masters, agile coaches, engineering leads, and anyone working with or alongside POs who wants to raise the bar on how the role is understood and practiced. -- An in person, English speaking session. No video feed will be provided. Please note, that we dont have catering for the event.

Agilitás és beszélgetés és sör és fröccs. Vagy limonádé, kinek mi. Gyertek egy kötetlen találkozóra, ahol ha hozol egy elakadást, vagy ügyet, talán még beszélünk is róla, és segítünk továbblendülni. De ha nem, az is oké. Az asztal MASZK néven lesz, ha nem találsz minket.

Join us for a special edition of the Android Budapest meetup in May! This time, we’re collaborating with mDevCamp, the Prague-based mobile dev conference. You will have an opportunity to get a free ticket to the conference! Before the summer break, you’ll have another opportunity to learn more about Android and meet fellow mobile devs! We’ll have two great talks to set the tone of the evening - this time you’ll hear from two organizers of our meetup, on the topics of Kotlin Multiplatform and screen recording on Android. **📜 Schedule:** **18:00 - 18:30: Gathering and socializing** **18:30 - 19:15: First talk** **19:15 - 19:45: Break** **19:45 - 20:15: Second talk** **20:05 - : More socializing!** **—** **🔷 Going Multiplatform with Your Android App - Márton Braun, JetBrains** Existing Android apps are in a great position to expand into Kotlin Multiplatform: you might already be using patterns, libraries, and APIs that work on more platforms than just Android. With Compose Multiplatform, you can build an app with a fully shared Kotlin codebase, targeting iOS, desktop, and even the web! In this talk, we’ll look at how you can migrate an existing Android app to multiplatform. As this can be a significant engineering effort for an existing, well-established app, we’ll also discuss how to plan and organize the required changes, and how to adopt KMP incrementally across your codebase without disrupting day-to-day development. **🔷 When MediaProjection Isn't Enough - Building a Custom In-App Session Recorder - István Juhos, Spoke** Debugging user issues gets so much easier when you can see exactly what they experienced. While off-the-shelf solutions exist to integrate screen recording into our apps, they didn't give us the quality, flexibility, or control we needed. So, our team built our own native, in-app session recording tool for Android. In this talk, I'll share why we decided to go in-house, how we tackled the technical and UX hurdles along the way, and what we learned about recording high-quality video and audio data. We'll dive into tricky bits like exploring - and discarding - the MediaProjection API, handling codecs and muxers across devices, designing recording controls that stay out of the user's way, playing back recordings, and managing background uploads without draining your users' battery or patience. — 🏢🍴 Thanks to [Supercharge](https://supercharge.io/careers) for hosting us in their lovely office, and the organizers of [mDevCamp](https://mdevcamp.eu) for the food and the drinks! 🚪 Doors open at 18:00 and the first talk starts at 18:30! 🗓️ The event is free but requires registration, so please RSVP here and don’t forget to update your response if it changes! 📸 We plan to take photos, so if you would not like to appear on them, please tell one of the organizers! **🎤 We are always looking for new presenters, so if you have an idea for a talk, please reach out to us at meetup@androidbudapest.com or submit at [https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea](https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea)!**

*“...whatsoever thou doest, whereof thou thyself art the cause, to do it justly: which will be, if both in thy resolution and in thy action thou have no further end, than to do good unto others, as being that, which by thy natural constitution, as a man, thou art bound unto”* **Marcus Aurelius Antonino - Meditations.** **(Session in english!)** Stoicism, was a philosophy started by Zeno of Citium. Centuries after Marcus Aurelius, the "philosopher King" offered through *Meditations,* a direct and personal account on his thoughts and ideas. His message is still widely popular nearly 2,000 years later. More recently Stoicism re-emerged as a hack for self-mastery, achievement and life success. Picked and reinterpreted by modern voices such as Ryan Holiday, and amplified in more controversial forms by figures like Andrew Tate. In this session we will have the opportunity to focus on Marcus Aurelius' *Meditations* and how it has been passed through a filter of today's youtube pop-culture. If you like this philosophy, especially the new version, or hate this philosophy, especially the new version, please accept my most sincere invitation to assist to our session! If you have no idea about what this is, this will certainly be useful, too. We will focus on: *self-accountability, emotional control, power and masculinity, denial of mental health, competition, life as conquest, and finally how these ideas intersect with relationships, gender, and politics.* **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests, and how familiar are they with stoicism (the classic or modern version) **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Does classic stoicism and the new broicism intersect? The case of Ryan Holiday. 2. Radical self-accountability. Can it backfire? 3. Emotional control. What were Marcus Aurelius' actual takes on the mater? 4. Masculinity. Why is Stoicism often framed as a masculine philosophy? 5. Is emotional restraint a strength — or a social expectation placed on men? 6. Do women have the possibility to choose a stoic way of life, without assuming the traditional female role? 7. Can emotional detachment conflict with intimacy? 8. Is pop-stoicism more a cause or a consequence of today's cooling gender relations? 9. Can Stoicism help with depression? or hide it? 10. Is vulnerability an act of weakness? 11. Where is the line between discipline and self-neglect? 12. How aligned is the idea of brutal competitive life achievement to stoicism? 13. Would a classic stoic pursue dominance, influence or wealth? How important was it for them? 14. Why now? What can be the reasons for stoicism's new found popularity? 15. Is “focus on what you control” psychologically realistic in complex societies? 16. Can Stoicism be used to rationalize hierarchy, oppression and inequality? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you order food, or alcohol-free wines, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**

Join us to drum for rain! The drum circle will be at the Guru Rinpoche statue at the entrance to the Peace Park, across the street from the temple. We will be chanting sacred mantras as we drum, praying for abundant rain to ease the drought. All are welcome! Please bring any percussion instruments you have - the more the merrier! If you don't have any drums, there may be extra available. Either way, you can chant along with everyone. Seating is limited so we recommend bringing a chair or blanket to sit on. In the event of inclement weather, we usually drum as long as we can before the storm starts, or wait it out and start a little late. We hold out until the last minute to cancel so if the weather seems iffy, keep an eye on our Facebook page for announcements. The DC region is currently experiencing moderate to severe drought. Many other regions of the world are also experiencing drought conditions. We will dedicate our prayers to bringing life-giving rain to all who need it!

NOVA Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal, co-working session. People of all skill levels are invited. The concept is simple, bring a laptop and ideas, we'll provide the coffee and donuts!
