**Automatizar el caos sigue siendo caos.** El reto no es la IA. Es la operación. Muchas empresas ya han lanzado proyectos de IA. Muchas menos están satisfechas con los resultados. El problema rara vez está en la tecnología. Está en lo que la tecnología encuentra al llegar: procesos poco claros, datos dispersos, herramientas desconectadas y operaciones difíciles de escalar. En este encuentro, Boond y rzilient reunirán a perfiles de dirección para hablar de una pregunta muy concreta: cómo preparar las operaciones y la IT para que la automatización genere impacto real en el negocio. **🎙️ Voces invitadas** **Jorge Quintanilla** Head of Skipper en Actual Talent Con experiencia en banca y transformación digital, Jorge compartirá una visión concreta sobre los puntos de fricción entre ambición tecnológica, procesos internos y realidad operativa. **David Morán Cófreces** Responsable comercial en QosmiQ Networks David aportará una perspectiva desde el terreno: cómo se gana la confianza de un cliente en un proyecto tecnológico cuando el reto no es solo la solución, sino la claridad del problema, la operación y la ejecución. **Dos experiencias distintas.** Una misma pregunta: ¿qué hay que estructurar antes de automatizar? **Agenda** 18:00 h Llegada, copa de bienvenida y networking 18:45 h Apertura de la sesión y preguntas al público 18:50 h Caso 1: Jorge Quintanilla, Actual Talent 19:05 h Caso 2: David Morán Cófreces, QosmiQ Networks 19:20 h Cruce de perspectivas entre speakers 19:40 h Preguntas y conversación con el público 19:50 h Dinámica participativa: mitos y realidades sobre IA y operaciones 20:00 h Networking con copas, hasta las 21:00 h **Para quién** Un encuentro diseñado para CEOs, COOs, CTOs, CFOs y equipos de dirección que quieren pasar del discurso sobre la IA a una automatización realmente útil para el negocio. Hablaremos con directivos que se enfrentan al mismo reto: crecer, automatizar y ganar eficiencia sin construir sobre procesos frágiles, datos dispersos o herramientas desconectadas. No habrá pitch comercial. Solo una conversación directa, en formato reducido, entre perfiles de decisión que quieren recuperar visibilidad, control y claridad antes de escalar. **Formato** 📍 Tech Barcelona — Pier 01, Palau de Mar Plaça de Pau Vila, 1, 08003 Barcelona 🕕 16 de junio, de 18:00 a 21:00 h 👥 Aforo limitado: máximo 40 plazas 🍷 Bebidas y comida incluidos 💶 Evento gratuito, plazas sujetas a aprobación Organizado por Boond y rzilient, para ayudar a las empresas a estructurar sus operaciones y su IT antes de automatizar.

¡Nueva sesión de charlas en Software Crafters Barcelona! No te pierdas estas dos charlas que estamos preparando, y un buen rato de networking, gracias a nuestro host, [Voxel](https://www.voxelgroup.net/). **📅 Agenda** * 17:45 - 18:30. Check-in. * 18:30 - 18:45. Bienvenida de [Voxel](https://www.voxelgroup.net/). * 18:45 - 19:30. Haciendo explícito lo implícito: De la inercia heredada al Playbook con IA con [Gabriel Mártires](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielmartires/) (charla en castellano) * 19:30 - 20:15. Nuestro viaje por el greenfield con [Eli Maruenda Joya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elimaruendajoya/) y [Anna Romagosa Rovira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-romagosa-rovira-01b0a7a2/) (charla en castellano) * 20:15 - 21:00. Cierre y Networking. **🙇‍♀️ Facilitan** * [Gabriel Mártires](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielmartires/) *Software Engineer at Voxel, an Amadeus company.* ¿Haces arqueología o ingeniería? A menudo, los equipos trabajamos bajo "normas implícitas" que nadie cuestionó, lo que genera una confusión constante sobre cómo desarrollar y una carga cognitiva brutal. En esta charla, veremos cómo romper la inercia del "aquí siempre se ha hecho así" mediante acuerdos de equipo y documentación ejecutable. Descubre cómo usar la IA como guardiana de estos pactos para delegar las decisiones repetitivas y volver a centrarnos en lo que importa: diseñar y resolver problemas complejos. ¡Hagamos explícito lo implícito! * [Eli Maruenda Joya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elimaruendajoya/) *Engineering Manager con casi 10 años de experiencia en el desarrollo de productos digitales, con background como Software Engineer y liderando equipos en los últimos 6 años.* * [Anna Romagosa Rovira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-romagosa-rovira-01b0a7a2/) *Product Manager con más de 9 años de experiencia liderando productos digitales en sectores regulados como agua, medioambiente y energía, trabajando con equipos multidisciplinares en entornos complejos y cambiantes.* Construir un producto desde cero no es tan fácil como parece, sobre todo si lo haces en un sector regulado, con deadlines exigentes y sin conocer bien el dominio, lxs stakeholders ni a lxs clientxs. En esta charla explicaremos cómo lideramos la transformación de un proceso de facturación en un contexto greenfield: pasando de decisiones basadas en intuiciones a apoyarnos en datos, construyendo la confianza de stakeholders escépticos y adaptándonos a los cambios de estrategia, todo ello mientras alineábamos un equipo grande, con alta seniority y con visiones diferentes sobre el "cómo", sin dejar de tomar decisiones y entregar valor. Una historia real de aprendizajes, errores y decisiones en incertidumbre… con algo de humor por el camino. **🏢 Dónde** Voxel\, Carrer de Cristóbal de Moura\, 115\, 1a planta\, Sant Martí\, 08019 Barcelona \| https://maps\.app\.goo\.gl/fuQb3sSfeupGAQae6 *Si tenéis problemas para llegar o acceder, contactad a través de comentarios en el meetup.* Queremos agradecer a nuestro sponsor, [Voxel](https://www.voxelgroup.net/) 🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos 🍲 🍕 🍴🥤🧃 ¡Nos vemos allí!

AI provides an incredible opportunity for innovation and disruption, but there's a problem. The data that powers AI is built for humans, and Agents require a new stack - one that is open, interoperable, and free from vendor lock-in. The principles of open data infrastructure enable humans and their agents to create powerful workflows without vendor lock-in. **19:40** 🎙️ **"AI Observability in Grafana: Instrument, Explore, and Evaluate Your AI Agents"**, [Sonia Aguilar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonia-aguilar-01378512a/) \- Staff Software Engineer at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/). AI agents are shipping to production faster than ever — but how do you know they're working correctly? In this session, we'll walk through AI Observability in Grafana: how to instrument your agents with a few lines of code, explore conversations and multi-agent pipelines, track cost and performance, set up online evaluations to continuously monitor quality, and configure guards to catch issues before they reach the model. **20:10 - 21:00**: Networking & Drinks 🍻🍕 See you there 👋 Grafana & Friends Barcelona

# Philosophical Psychology **Welcome to Philosophical Psychology!** This group is a space for curious minds who believe that understanding the human psyche requires more than data and diagnoses — it demands deep reflection and a willingness to sit with important questions. Join us on our Walks, where we philosophize about life and share our wisdom as we walk through parks and nature. The main goal is to get together and share our views on life and the world around us. We will examine one specific question during this walk. Depending on the group size, we will select some speakers who will share their views on this topic, then some strengths and weaknesses, before we wrap it up with everyone sharing their views. We gather at the intersection of **psychological science** and **practical philosophy** to examine the questions that neither discipline can fully answer alone: The question for this walk is: What is the Good Life? Hope to see you there. Best, Didi *** *** **Who I am** I am a psychologist and psychotherapist, also with a PhD in Philosophy. Our discussions are grounded in both clinical insight and philosophical depth. We welcome everyone — whether you come from a professional background, are a student, or simply someone who thinks deeply about human experience. No prior knowledge required. Just an open mind... *** **What to Expect** * A respectful, intellectually stimulating atmosphere * Philosophical and Psychological perspectives you can perhaps apply to your life * A community of people who take complex ideas seriously

We’re thrilled to announce the next edition of the BcnRust Meetup, this time hosted by **[Protofy](https://protofy.xyz/)**! Join us for an evening exploring two very different but equally ambitious Rust projects: an AI-native virtual machine that rethinks how code is executed, and a distributed task queue built as a hands-on journey into async Rust, concurrency, and fault-tolerant systems. Whether you're interested in language runtimes, AI agents, distributed systems, or simply seeing how Rust enables bold ideas, this meetup is for you. **Driver: An Agentic VM in Rust** by [Cristian Sánchez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cr3at0r/) Most virtual machines are deterministic by design. LLMs break that. But what if AI wasn't an external API on top, but a native execution primitive inside the VM itself? Driver is a Rust VM where AI is a first-class execution primitive. The stdlib is aware of whether it's being invoked by deterministic bytecode or by an LLM-generated action and behaves accordingly. We'll cover the practical decisions behind the core VM, and the toolkit around it. **Aether: Learning Async Rust by building a Distributed Task Queue** by [Arnau Berenguer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnau-berenguer-jimenez/) Building a distributed system is a great way to learn async Rust because you run into all the hard parts for real. In this talk I'll walk through Aether, a personal project of a task queue that lets you submit and run Python scripts on a cluster from a CLI. We'll cover the system architecture, how to handle multiple concurrent tasks sharing state, how to handle loss of connection, and propagating cancellation signals on concurrent tasks over the network. Along the way we'll see the honest lessons learned and what makes async Rust hard but fun. **Why Attend?** * Explore advanced Rust applications, from AI-native runtimes to distributed infrastructure. * Learn practical lessons about virtual machine design, async programming, concurrency, and fault tolerance. * Discover how experienced Rust developers approach complex systems and architectural trade-offs. * Connect with Barcelona's Rust community and exchange ideas with fellow engineers, makers, and enthusiasts. * Get inspired by real-world projects that push Rust beyond the usual web services and CLI tools. Whether you're a Rust beginner curious about what's possible, or a seasoned developer looking to dive deeper into systems programming, you'll leave with new ideas, technical insights, and plenty to discuss. Let’s build, learn, and geek out over Rust together! 🦀 **Streaming**: We will stream it via YouTube so you can also subscribe to our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@bcnrust) to get notified when we go live.

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation. About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/ **THANK YOU** *Franklin University* for hosting our meetup!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
