Atheist Volunteers

🇭🇷 Programiranje u rulji (mob programming) je kao programiranje u paru ali još zabavnije! Ovaj puta nećemo o dosadnim temama poput toga zašto je jeftinije od običnog programiranja, nego ćemo se zabaviti na RADIONICI na kojoj ćemo programirati U RULJI. Rulja će se sastojati od 4-5 osoba. Po pravilima, jedna osoba će tipkati, a ostale će joj govoriti što da radi. Često ćemo se rotirati, zamjenjujući osobu koja tipka. Ako bude bilo više polaznika, preporučamo osobama u rulji da se ustanu i vrate u publiku kada im dosadi, kad se umore ili kada misle da su dovoljno iskusili, kako bi ih netko iz publike mogao zamijeniti. Potruditi ćemo se da je tehnika lagana za koristiti (izbor Mac i Windows tipkovnice, npr.) ali u rulji je i to puno lakše! 🇬🇧 Mob programming is like pair programming — but even more fun! This time we won’t talk about boring topics like why it’s cheaper than traditional programming. Instead, we’ll have fun at a WORKSHOP where we’ll actually practice MOB PROGRAMMING. The mob will consist of 4–5 people. According to the rules, one person will be typing while the others tell them what to do. We will often rotate, switching the typist. If there are more participants, we encourage people in the mob to step out and return to the audience when they get bored, tired, or feel they’ve had enough experience, so that someone from the audience can take their place. We’ll make sure the setup is easy to use (choice of Mac & Windows keyboard, for example), but in a mob even that becomes much easier! ⏰ Schedule: \- Introduction \- Short description of workshop organisation \- Mob programming \(including Q&A with audience\) Image source: https://www.ria.ie/blog/table-turning-a-victorian-fad/

The "AI hype" is everywhere, but the challenge is moving from a prompt in a browser to a deployed, functional product. Join GDG Zagreb for a hands-on technical workshop in Google’s #BuildWithAI series. We are moving past basic chat interfaces to build a real-world application layer around Gemini. We’ll start by building a YouTube Summarizer as our reference architecture, then dive into the codebase to refactor and adapt it for your own custom content-processing tools. 🏗️ Technical Roadmap This isn't just a tutorial; it’s a build session. We will focus on the end-to-end lifecycle of an AI microservice: The Model Layer: Authenticating and interfacing with the Gemini API using the Google Gen AI SDK or REST endpoints. The Application Layer: Implementing the logic to handle media inputs, transcripts, and structured prompting. We'll use Python (Flask) for backend and a little bit of HTML for basic frontend. The Deployment Layer: We’ll cover Dockerizing your application and pushing it to Google Cloud Run for a live, scalable, and serverless URL. 🔄 From Reference to Reality Once we have the baseline YouTube Summarizer live, the workshop shifts to a "spinoff" phase. You’ll have the autonomy to refactor the logic to create a specialized tool of your choice, for example: Audio Intelligence: Processing MP3s/Podcasts into structured show notes. Document Synthesis: Building a "TL;DR" engine for long-form research or PDFs. Meeting Insights: Turning raw transcripts into actionable tasks. 💻 Who Should Attend? This workshop is designed for developers and tech professionals who: Have a basic understanding of full-stack development. Want to understand the practical integration of LLMs into production-ready web services. 🎒 Requirements A Google Cloud account (we'll provide credits and instructions on how to activate them). A working computer with wifi A curious mind. ⏱️ The Schedule 18:00: Intro to #BuildWithAI. 18:15: Workshop: Building the Summarizer. (optional) Customization: Refactoring for your own use case. 20:00: Deployment to Cloud Run & (optional) Submission for prizes. 20:30: Networking, Pizza, and Refreshments. 21:00: Closing ceremony & Announcing prize winners. Build it. Ship it. Own it. Space is limited to ensure quality mentoring for all participants. #GDGZagreb #BuildWithAI #GoogleCloud #GeminiAPI #Docker #CloudRun #ZagrebTech Agenda --- Hosted By Mario Vegh, Organizer Petra Brčić, Data Scientist An experienced applied mathematician who has transitioned into IT, still thinking about PhD.

Meetup **#1** for **Vibe Coders Croatia** — a community for **builders who ship**. No gatekeeping, no corporate stiffness. Hosted at Reactor Studio with two talks: **Ivan Horvat** on the agentic multi-repo workflow behind a real mobile app — specs, Figma via MCP, cross-repo issue dispatch, daily status sync. **Ivan Klarić** on The Solow Paradox of AI in Software Development — twenty years of building software and the teams that ship it (Google Search, Superbet, Cognism), freshly turned consultant, with a framework for measuring AI's real impact beyond raw velocity. Food, drinks, and the hallway conversations where the next side project starts. 📣 **From Specs to Production: An Agentic Multi-Repo Workflow** A look at how we use AI coding agents as team members across the entire product lifecycle — from writing product specs and designing in Figma via MCP, to automated cross-repo issue dispatch and daily status sync. One docs repo owns the "what and why," one app repo owns the "how," and agents bridge the gap — keeping two repos, multiple tools, and a GitHub Project board in sync without manual handoffs. This talk will walk through the real workflow behind a mobile app built in Reactor Studio, showing how AI agents brainstorm features, generate structured specs, dispatch issues across repos via GitHub Actions, and keep everything tracked automatically. Whether you're a PM, designer, or developer — you'll see how agentic workflows can remove the glue work between your tools and repos. **Ivan Horvat** is a full-stack software engineer with experience delivering product-focused web applications across frontend and backend. With a strong focus on building high-quality, user-centered solutions, he works closely with design and product teams to bridge the gap between idea and implementation. When he's not shipping features, he's exploring how AI coding agents can take over the boring parts of the development lifecycle. * [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivan-horvat-24a4b417b/) 📣 **The Solow Paradox of AI in Software Development** Development velocity is the main metric used to evaluate AI's impact on engineering. After surveying freelancers, agencies, and large product organizations, we found that velocity is only part of the story — and for some teams, not even the most important part. This talk introduces a three-part framework for understanding AI impact across different types of orgs: velocity, completeness, and confidence. After summarizing and explaining these effects, we'll correlate them to existing research, turn them into actionable advice for engineers and their managers, and close with some speculation on where engineering teams — and software development as a discipline — are headed, based on the shifts we've already seen over the last year. **Ivan Klarić** is a software consultant whose career quickly evolved from building software to building the teams that build it. He's worked across startups, scale-ups, big tech, product, and agency environments — co-founding a software agency with a few friends in 2007, spending five years at Google getting Search engineers to care about cross-cutting concerns like annotation quality and freshness, joining Happening/Superbet in 2019 for another five years building a sports engineering team that scaled Superbet from Romania-only to 5+ countries and millions of users, and a short stint at Cognism on a next-generation B2B sales intelligence platform. In early 2026, he joined the dark side and became an independent software consultant. * [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iklaric/) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🍕 Food and drinks provided. 📹 Not recorded or streamed this time — you have to be in the room. 🗓️ RSVP is mandatory due to limited seating. 📍**Location**: **Zadarska ulica 80, 6th floor — Reactor Studio.** Use the main entrance on the right side of the building. If you're driving, the Lidl parking lot nearby is your best bet, or grab any free spot around the buildings.

**IvaDev Shorts #4** 🚀 IvaDev Shorts is BACK! Thrilled to announce we're continuing this incredible series that has been an absolute game-changer for our community. The concept? Every attendee gets the chance to share something they've seen, learned, built — or even broken 💥 Here's what makes it special: ✅ Max 15-minute slots (no minimum!) ✅ Low-pressure, high-energy format ✅ Way less formal than your typical meetup Whether it's a side project demo, a hot take on a new tool, or a spectacular failure story — we want to hear it. Same venue. Same vibes. Let's go.

Dear all, we’re back with the PyData meetups, focused as always on sharing best practice, methodologies, analysis, machine learning systems, .., with the open-source projects of the [NumFOCUS](https://numfocus.org/sponsored-projects) program — but not only! We’ll meet **#InPresence on Thursday, April 30 at 7:00 PM**. We’ll be hosted by [Anda Venice Hostel](https://www.andavenice.com/) in the Medusa Room and, for those who cannot join us, it will also be on YouTube in **#streaming**. 👥 We’ll have two interesting sessions in English 🇬🇧: 🗣 [Tomas Scagliarini](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomscag/) studies the **#analysis** of Earth’s tipping elements that is crucial for understanding the **#stability** of the **#ClimateSystem**. He will discuss how the interdependencies among tipping elements evolve over time under different anthropogenic forcing. 🗣 [Babatunde Monye](https://www.linkedin.com/in/babatundemonye/) will present a **#MultiTimeframe** algorithmic trading **#signal** system built on probabilistic confidence **#model**, combining momentum, adaptive smoothing, and convergence & divergence indicators to generate structured buy/sell signals across multiple asset pairs. And afterwards\, for those who want\, we’ll stay there for \( 🍸 \| 🍺 \) & \( 🍕 \| 🍔 \) and **#networking** until late ‼️ 📽 And if you’d like to share ideas, projects, topics, or propose yourself as the next speaker, here’s the usual [Google form](https://forms.gle/rVMWxFnodHaNb9ab9) or [Sessionize](https://sessionize.com/pydata-venice-2025-12-18) !

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

We may pick a specific topic and post in advance or may discuss current events and various ad hoc topics . We would love to spend time hanging out and getting to know one another. Atheist, agnostics, other non-theists, and atheist-friendly people are welcome to join us. Note: COUNT operates a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/COUNT.discussions (http://www.facebook.com/groups/COUNT.discussions/) to promote discussions among members and visitors.

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
