AI is no longer a future concept — it's being engineered into production systems today. We're rebuilding a practitioner-led space where Melbourne's AI engineering community connects, learns, and ships better work together. After a year away, we're back – and bigger in focus. Same community, sharper lens: the *engineering* of building AI systems that survive contact with production. Our first event back is themed "Building AI That Ships." Two talks from local practitioners, then time to mingle with the people working on the same problems you are. **Who is this for** AI engineers · software engineers shipping LLM features · ML engineers and data scientists · product managers building AI products · technical leaders. **Important Note** After clicking "Attend" on this meetup, you'll also need to register through this [link](https://invites.envoy.com/group-invite/8UV8AVxbXWNFdtTq/exceeded) to gain access to the venue! **Run time** * **5:30 – 6:00** — Doors open · food + drinks · networking * **6:00 – 6:10** — Welcome * **6:10 – 6:30** — Talk 1: Designing the Harness around AI agents * **6:30 – 6:50** — Talk 2: AI for Future of Engineering * **7:00 – 7:30** — Panel Discussion: The Engineering Day in AI Era * **7:30 – 7:50** — Open networking * **7:50 – 8:00** — Wrap up See you there! 🙌

## **What every property investor needs to know about the changes happening to negative gearing, capital gains tax and trust taxation — BEFORE the rules change.** The Federal Budget contained several major proposals that could significantly impact how Australians invest in property. Changes have been proposed to: * Negative gearing * Capital gains tax * Discretionary trusts For many investors, these structures form the foundation of their wealth creation strategy. But how would these changes actually work? Who could be affected? What opportunities still exist? And what should investors be thinking about now? At our [Melbourne meetup](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/meetup-vic.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn), **tax specialist Brent McCartney** will break down the proposed changes and explain what they could mean for property investors, developers, renovators and business owners. **What you'll learn...** **Negative Gearing Changes** **Discover:** ✓ What the Government has announced ✓ Which properties may be protected under grandfathering provisions ✓ How the proposed rules could affect future purchases ✓ The implications for investors buying established versus new properties **Capital Gains Tax Changes** **Learn:** ✓ How the current 50% CGT discount could change ✓ The proposed inflation-indexed alternative ✓ What the changes could mean for future property profits ✓ How transitional rules may apply to existing properties **Trust taxation Changes** **Understand:** ✓ The proposed 30% minimum tax on discretionary trusts ✓ Why the Government says the changes are necessary ✓ How family trusts may be affected ✓ Potential restructuring opportunities available during the transition period ✓ Real-world examples illustrating the potential financial impact **[RSVP now to attend FREE in-person or via Zoom](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/meetup-vic.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn)** **Why This Matters** Many investors spend years building portfolios based on rules that can change with a single Budget announcement. The investors who understand the implications early have more options, more time to plan and greater confidence when making future decisions. This session is not about politics. It's about understanding the proposed changes and making informed investment decisions. The proposed Budget changes could have significant implications for how Australians invest, structure and grow their wealth through property. Whether you own one investment property or a large portfolio, this is an opportunity to understand the potential impact before important decisions need to be made. **Important:** If you plan to attend, please click the RSVP link below and register. This helps us manage venue numbers and ensures you receive event reminders. **[RSVP now to attend FREE in-person or via Zoom](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/meetup-vic.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn)** **FAQ's** **-> Can I bring someone else along?** Yes, you are welcome to bring anyone who is interested in property investing, renovating, developing - it's all about learning and networking with like-minded investors. Please ask them to RSVP so that we know how many people are coming. **-> What are you selling?** Nothing, these meetups are all about learning and networking with like-minded people. **-> What are my Parking options?** There is plenty of parking in the street.

Let’s spend a winter evening at Melbourne Planetarium for Scienceworks’ Discover the Night Sky session. This month’s topic is: Exoplanets: exploring alien atmospheres The session is part of Scienceworks’ Discover the Night Sky series, hosted with astronomer Dr Tanya Hill, exploring Melbourne’s night sky, astronomy stories, and the latest space news. We’ll meet outside the Melbourne Planetarium entrance gates at 6:00pm, then head in for the 6:30pm Planetarium session. After the show, ticket holders for the early session are encouraged to stay for stargazing from around 7:30pm to 8:30pm, weather permitting. Stargazing may not happen if there are clouds, rain, or high winds, so please treat that part as a bonus rather than guaranteed. **Who this is for** This event is good for: * People interested in astronomy, space, planets, science, and the night sky * Anyone curious about exoplanets and life beyond Earth * Beginners — no astronomy knowledge needed * Solo attendees who want a friendly group to attend with * People who enjoy relaxed, educational evening events **Links** * Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/MGaqJ7wXDwymAerLA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MGaqJ7wXDwymAerLA) * Ticket/Discover the Night Sky event page: [https://museumsvictoria.com.au/scienceworks/whats-on/discover-the-night-sky/](https://museumsvictoria.com.au/scienceworks/whats-on/discover-the-night-sky/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **Timeline** * 6:00pm — Meet outside the Melbourne Planetarium entrance gates * 6:15pm — Head inside / get settled * 6:30pm — Discover the Night Sky session starts * 7:30pm — Planetarium session ends * 7:30pm – 8:30pm — Optional stargazing, weather permitting * 8:30pm — Meetup ends **Tickets / cost** Please buy your own ticket for the 6:30pm Discover the Night Sky session.

The stargazing part is weather dependent and may not happen if there are clouds, rain, or high winds. If stargazing is cancelled or not suitable on the night, the Meetup will simply end after the session or after a short chat outside/near the venue. **Important notes** * This is an 18+ only event. * Please buy your own ticket for the 6:30pm session. * Please arrive on time so we can enter smoothly before the session starts. * Stargazing is optional and weather dependent. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.

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
