Under-provisioned and hoping for the best? This session makes the case for performance testing as the feedback loop that closes the gap between architecture assumptions and production reality. We'll cover how to map load testing methodologies to specific reliability and cost risks on AWS, simulate diverse traffic patterns across workloads including AI inference and RAG pipelines, and build a repeatable framework for right-sizing with confidence, not gut feel. 6:40 PM - BREAK / NETWORKING 7:00 PM - **Christian Melendez** **Autoscaling Isn't Set-and-Forget: Tuning KEDA & Karpenter for Real Workloads.** You've deployed KEDA and Karpenter—now what? Most talks stop at "it scales." This one starts there. We'll dive into the advanced configurations, failure modes, and optimization patterns that separate demo clusters from production workloads. On the Karpenter side: Node Disruption Budgets to control voluntary disruptions, how to survive Spot interruptions gracefully, and bootstrap optimizations that shave minutes off node startup. On KEDA: scaling modifiers that combine multiple metrics into smarter decisions, cooldown tuning to prevent thrashing, and the shift from reactive scaling to proactive workload sizing. We'll show how EKS Auto Mode changes the equation—what you get out of the box, what you still need to configure, and how KEDA fits into a managed Karpenter environment. **8pm - ENDS** **SPEAK or SPONSOR!** The AWS User Group hosts regular events that provide direct access to experienced cloud and AI engineers, AWS experts, and industry leaders.

We are in the middle of a trilogy of topics that form a story. Our current series is around the theme of human flourishing. In April we discussed *beauty*. In May we looked at how the role ‘*home*’ plays in our well-being. To round off this *trilogy of human flourishing*, we will ask what roles do *nature and nurture* play in our lives? Have you ever pondered why you are the way you are? Are we born this way, or are we shaped by life? *Nature* refers to the genetic blueprint we inherit from our ancestors. *Nurture* refers to the social, cultural, and environmental factors that moulds our personalities, values, and skills. Are these two influences enemies or dancing partners? What limits, if any, exist in either one? How do they contribute to destiny or choice? Join us for facilitated conversations about Nature and Nurture this upcoming Tuesday, 9.June, 7:15pm, at Third Space Café Smithfield. Newcomers are welcome. **NOTE**: we ask for a **3 Euro donation** to cover costs. Payable on the night by coin or Revolut. Thank you. Socrates Cafe: *a space where ideas and dialogue can flourish*.

This group is for people who don't feel their German is strong enough for the Deutsch Sprechen Stammtisch. Anyone from complete beginner to native German speaker is welcome.

The aim of this group is to build the confidence as well as ability to speak German in real life situations with others. . There are a limited number of places, so please keep your RSVP up-to-date! Bis dann.

TOG will be open on Tuesday evenings from 19:00 to 21:30 for a general Open House event. Expect to find members and visitors in the space up to all sorts of activities. It's a great time to drop in and see what the space is about. If you're an artist, tinkerer, maker or just plain curious, come in and see what the space is about. Maybe you already have something to work on (or want to), have something to fix, create, design, bodge or tinker... drop in. We're also open for just for plain old social chat and hang out, with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. We have lots of free parking right outside our door.

\> Note: If you have registered via luma\, please dont double register here\, Thanks\. **Talk: Decoding Open Source: How to Find Your First (Healthy) Community.** Not all open source projects are created equal. While open source projects may share the same license(s), the experience of contributing varies from project to project, from corporate-led open source projects, grass-roots python projects, to projects belonging to foundations such as PyTorch Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation. We will pull back the curtain on the 'Open Source Spectrum' and the broad array of common roles within open source communities. Let’s look beyond the README.md, and investigate the social dynamics and how you can confidently navigate your way from an outsider to a contributor. Attendees will walk away understanding how to navigate across different open source projects, being able to identify opportunities for both code and non-technical contributions, and recognise various “green flags” that signal a healthy open source community, while making a lasting first impression. Target Audience: \- People looking to start contributing to open source projects\, and who want to learn some red/green flags on communities/projects\. \- People listed above would most likely be college students\, early career engineers\, or engineers who primarily work on Closed Source and are looking for more open source opportunities\. \- Experienced open source contributors can provide insightful feedback and stories during and after the presentation **Author:** **Dominik Kawka** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominik-kawka/] [Dominik Kawka is a Community Architect in Red Hat's Open Source Program Office.

This is the second working session for the Abundance Federation Dublin group. After our February meetup we formed a team of four developers and four data scientists who've been working steadily on the platform and the first public AI dataset pilot. We're now looking to grow the team as the work expands. **Where we are** * The Kindness & volunteering platform is live but rough. Profiles, communities, messaging, tasks, quests and incentives all work, but it needs proper attention on both design and architecture before we push it toward a real MVP. Making it easy, coherent and genuinely fun to use matters as much as the engineering underneath — both have to land. * The first AI dataset pilot (Irish agricultural weed identification, with Transition Year students and adult volunteers) launches later this year. Tooling plans are written; the data team is working through them. The dataset side has real engineering work too — orchestration, pipelines, annotation tooling, and the interfaces volunteers will actually use — so the roles below apply across both teams. **Who we'd particularly like to meet** The work right now would especially benefit from: * UX designers or design-minded developers who care about making real software feel coherent, easy, and enjoyable to use * Python / Django developers who enjoy growing a real codebase * Backend developers comfortable with messy real-world systems * Database architects — we have decisions ahead that would benefit from experienced judgement * DevOps people who enjoy quietly making things reliable That said, this is a broad project and there's room for more than just those roles. Frontend developers, data scientists, technical writers, testers, community organisers, and people who just want to help in whatever way makes sense — all welcome. Come along, see what we're doing, and we'll figure out together where you might fit. People at any stage of their career are welcome. Experience is valuable, but so is persistence and follow-through — on a project like this, the people who keep showing up are the ones who shape what gets built. **On the night** * A short walkthrough of where the platform and data work are now (warts and all) * A clear-eyed look at the design and architectural questions we're working through * Small-group conversations to figure out what's most useful, what's feasible, and who might want to keep working on what * Pizza, soft drinks, and an optional pub afterwards for anyone up for it **Logistics** * Digital Hub, Dublin * Wednesday, June 10th, 7–9pm * Free, in-person, finishing on time at 9pm * RSVP through Meetup so we can plan numbers The wider Abundance Federation is a mission-locked civic initiative working on shared digital infrastructure to bring down the cost of essentials over the long term. The platform and the data work are the technical foundations of that — and they'll only be as good as the people who build them. Come along if you'd like to help shape what gets built.

📚 James Joyce’s ***Ulysses*** turns an ordinary Dublin day into an expansive exploration of consciousness, memory, and identity, making Bloomsday (June 16th) a celebration of both the city and the inner lives of its inhabitants. Following Leopold Bloom’s wanderings, readers are invited to see the epic in the everyday, where small gestures carry profound emotional weight. Joyce’s broader body of work—including *Dubliners* and *A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man*—offers rich ground for discussion, tracing his evolving style and deepening preoccupation with language, identity, and modern life. Bloomsday, observed each June 16th, transforms literature into lived experience, as readers retrace Bloom’s steps and immerse themselves in Joyce’s richly textured world. Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books by Joyce, on Joyce, on Ulysses — whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬 It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.
