Chtitedev est un collectif de minorité de genre de la tech (développeuses, devOps, data eng,…) qui se réunissent mensuellement sous forme de meetup en non-mixité choisie.
Vous êtes une femme cis, une personne trans et/ou non binaire ? Vous entretenez un intérêt pro ou perso pour la programmation ?
Nous vous proposons de nous réunir afin de nous entraider pour pouvoir avancer au mieux dans ce monde qui a du mal à nous réintégrer dans ses rangs ! Au programme :
 ⏰ 18h30: Arrivée, petit tour de table et papotage ⏰ 18h45: Présentation : A-t-on encore besoin d'Agilité en 2026 ? ⏰ 19h15/30: Apéritif et papotage Alors que l’IA redéfinit radicalement nos capacités de production, la place de nos méthodologies historiques arrive à une croisée des chemins décisive. Entre des rituels devenus parfois automatiques et une accélération technologique sans précédent, quel rôle reste-t-il vraiment au pilotage humain dans la création logicielle ? Ce meetup propose de confronter nos certitudes aux réalités de 2026 : nous explorerons si l'agilité doit être enterrée ou si, débarrassée de son folklore, elle détient la clé pour ne pas se noyer dans la production de software inutile.

Pojďme se pravidelně potkávat a sdílet zkušenosti z Power Platformy, co nás na ní baví, co nás trápí a co nového zajímavého přichází. A pokud už nám to někde reálně běží, pochlubme se, jak to funguje nebo nefunguje. Témata jsou primárně Power Automate, Power Apps, Power Pages, Power BI, Copilot Studio, Dynamics 365 a Dataverse. Budeme rádi i za méně pokročilé příspěvky, protože většinou jsme velmi hluboko v technických detailech. **Lokalita:** Fyzicky v Microsoftu v Praze Vyskočilova 1561/4a, Praha 4, 140 00 Místnost Morava Případně online na [https://ppug.community/stream](https://ppug.community/stream) **Jazyk:** čeština **Agenda:** [https://ppug.community/agenda](https://ppug.community/agenda) **Přihlašte vlastní příspěvek:** [https://ppug.community/sessions](https://ppug.community/sessions) **Link na stream:** [https://ppug.community/stream](https://ppug.community/stream) **Občerstvení:** Bagety **Úroveň:** 100-300 Tak si prosím naplánujte čas ve svých kalendářích a přijďte, pokud bude chuť a čas, tak si po meetupu určitě můžeme sednout na pivo.

Let’s meet in the middle of March for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon together. As winter slowly gives way to spring — a season when everything begins to awaken again — we’ll take a moment to reflect on the question: What Are You Growing Into This Year? 🌱 🌟 What to expect A small circle of open-minded people, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing reflections, philosophy, psychology, or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. The topic is suggested above, and the conversation will flow organically. 🪄 We’ll explore the questions step by step, from light to deeper, in a roundtable format. For example: • What’s your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in Luxembourg? • What is something new you have started exploring this year? • If this year had a theme for you so far, what would it be? • What small change in your life has already made a difference this year? • Is there a skill or quality you would like to develop more this year? • What are you currently investing more time or energy in? • Is there something you are slowly letting go of this year? • What kind of person do you feel you are slowly becoming? • What has helped you grow the most in recent years: people, challenges, or experiences? • If this year goes well for you, what might look different by the end of it? • What is one quiet intention you have for the rest of this year? • …and whatever else naturally emerges. There’s no pressure to share deeply — listening is just as welcome as speaking. ✨ 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Le Quai Steffen – Gare de Luxembourg | Restaurant 📅 Date: Sunday, March 15, 2026 🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: Up to 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually Since this is a rather specific topic, the group will stay small. If you find that you can’t attend, please cancel your spot so someone else can join. If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, openness to different perspectives, and curiosity about others — not just what they do, but who they are — you’re very welcome to join. 🫶

Have you ever felt like love made you lose your senses… maybe even your mind? I definitely have. Join me for an open discussion on how love affects your brain. Share your story or vision and drink a cup of cafe. This interactive event offers a relaxed café atmosphere where curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcomed, and ideas flow freely. **Optional** * Interactive activity * Discussion on brain functions/chemicals related to love * Exploring the science behind love in an engaging, informal setting designed for learning, sharing, and meaningful easy going conversation

You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

How do you feel happier with people? How do you get into the spirit of group activities? How do you get rid of the anxiety of communicating in front of people? In this meeting, you will learn the secrets of how to connect with people, open yourself up to people, and have a grand time being yourself. This meeting will be led by an expert who has been working with people just like you to feel happier and improve communication skills for over 10 years. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
