GREEK OUT! 🇬🇷The art of making a parea with Maria Gkeme
As an expat in Athens, it’s easy to meet people but harder to build the kind of connections that make a city feel like home. That’s exactly what Greek Out 🇬🇷 is about.
Inspired by the Greek concept of "**parea**" - the feeling of belonging to a group of people who genuinely enjoy spending time together - Stone Soup & Maria are creating an evening where conversations go beyond small talk.
Whether you've just arrived in Athens or have been here for years, come join us for a sunset gathering designed to turn strangers into familiar faces and, hopefully, new friends.
🏛️ What to Expect :
• Become part of a parea and experience a key aspect of Greek culture
• Enjoy meaningful conversations, games, and shared experiences
• Learn about Greek customs, culture, and a few useful language insights
• Meet fellow expats, internationals, digital nomads, and locals in a relaxed setting
• Ask questions about relocating to Greece, visas, and the Greek AFM
• Enjoy drinks on the rooftop while watching the sunset over Athens
[No Greek language skills required]
Spots are limited to keep the experience interactive. 🙏🏼
Grab your ticket and let's Greek Out together.
Please RSVP on our [Luma link](https://luma.com/u145spd0)
Στην υγειά μας! 🥂

Kubernetes Athens vol28
We are pleased to bring you two talks this time. This event will be held in the offices of our sponsor [Plum](https://withplum.com/gr-gr), Stadiou 3a, Athina 105 62.
**1st talk:** "Working with Kubeflow: A cloud-native machine learning platform for Kubernetes" by [Manos Vlassis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mvlassis/)
**Abstract:** Kubeflow is the foundation of tools for AI platforms on Kubernetes. The platform itself is composable, modular, portable, and scalable, backed by an ecosystem of Kubernetes-native projects for each stage of the AI lifecycle. This talk explores the architecture of Kubeflow, the advantages it offers to engineers and scientists, and a use case of how it can be used to speed up processes.
**Presenter:** Manos is a Software Engineer at Canonical, working at the Machine Learning Operators (MLOps) team. He is working on a distribution of Kubeflow to facilitate machine learning workflows on Kubernetes-based systems.
**2nd talk:** "ingress-nginx is archived: How we migrated to kgateway (and Didn’t Break Prod)" by [Konstantinos Stavropoulos](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kostavro/)
**Abstract:** With ingress-nginx being archived in March 2026, Plum's SRE team used it as an opportunity to migrate to kgateway - a CNCF-backed Gateway API implementation chosen after benchmarking several alternatives. The 12-week migration relied on running both controllers in parallel, building custom Loki-based observability before cutover, and using staging to catch breaking differences like stricter path matching and a shorter default timeout. The result was zero production incidents and zero customer-facing downtime across all migrated services.
**Presenter:** Konstantinos Stavropoulos is the SRE Lead at Plum, where he leads the team responsible for the reliability and evolution of the company's infrastructure. With a background spanning fintech, cybersecurity, and logistics across Greece and the Netherlands, he specialises in Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud-native infrastructure, and security - with a proven track record of leading complex migrations from legacy stacks to modern, cloud-native architectures. Beyond hands-on engineering, Konstantinos is a community builder who delivers internal workshops and mentors teams through technical and leadership growth.

June Athens The Place by COCO-MAT.bike Brunch
Free registration - Registration link here:

It is incredibly easy to feel anonymous in a major city. When you’re living an untethered life, traveling, or just navigating a busy routine, finding a true sense of belonging can take a backseat.
That’s why Gals That Brunch exists. We don't believe in stiff networking or forced interactions. We create warm, inclusive, low-pressure spaces where no woman is left sitting on the sidelines.
For this gathering, we are heading to Triptolemou 26 in Gazi. Located just a short stroll from the Kerameikos metro and the iconic Technopolis chimneys, this spot captures the artistic, industrial heart of Athens. With its bright urban layout and cozy atmosphere, it is the perfect sanctuary to pause, recharge, and match faces to new, lasting friendships.
What to Expect:
Great Food & Fuel: Outstanding specialty coffee, fresh juices, and a fantastic brunch menu featuring everything from perfectly poached eggs to sweet, indulgent weekend treats.
Instant Inclusivity: If you are nervous about showing up alone, please don't be! Around 90% of our attendees sign up by themselves. Our hosts will greet you at the door, introduce you to the group immediately, and make sure you feel right at home.
A Diverse Table: Open to all women in Athens—locals, expats, digital nomads, and global travelers.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.
