Azure Heroes @ Betabit
We are back again – the last meetup before the summer holidays!
**Azure Heroes @ Betabit Rotterdam**
A massive thank you to Betabit for stepping in last minute to save this event. This is what community is all about: in just two days we found a new venue and a new speaker. AMAZING.
Session 1 – Turbocharge your pipelines: Practical tips and tricks for Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions
**Speaker:** Maarten van Diemen
Want to make your CI/CD pipelines faster, cleaner, and more efficient—starting tomorrow? Maarten will kick off with the basics, then dive into actionable tips and tricks for Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitHub Actions, focusing on three key areas:
* **Templating** – Build reusable, modular, and maintainable pipelines
* **Speed optimization** – Reduce execution time on hosted agents
* **Software provisioning** – Install and manage tools on your agents without slowing down your pipeline
He’ll also cover powerful but often underused features in both Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. Whether you're a DevOps engineer or developer, you'll walk away with practical insights you can apply the next day.
Session 2 – Getting started with Ethical Hacking
**Speaker:** Christian Peeters
**Abstract:**
Hacks, data breaches, ransomware… you keep hearing about it in the news. To effectively protect your business and/or software, you need to know where the vulnerabilities are. And what better way to find out than by attempting to hack yourself?
In this session, we will explore how hackers operate and which tools you can use to hack (your own) applications. Additionally, we will examine the most common types of vulnerabilities, how to practice exploiting them, and what measures can be taken to prevent them.
With the rise of AI a whole new attack surface has emerged – how is it being used to hack?
Last but not least, Christian will share tips on keeping your colleagues alert by applying social engineering.
📅 **Date:** Tuesday, June 30th, 2026
Join us for an evening packed with top-notch Azure sessions!

Nimma.codes: 40ᵉ editie - Monthly meetup @ Deftpower
De *veertigste* monthly meetup van [Nimma.codes](https://www.nimma.codes/) alweer!
We zijn een cross-language user group voor software developers in de regio Arnhem-Nijmegen en komen elke laatste dinsdag van de maand samen om te praten over alles wat met software development te maken heeft. Wees welkom! (ook als je niet programmeert)
*Ditmaal zijn we wederom te gast bij Deftpower [Clean Tech Park Arnhem](https://cleantechparkarnhem.nl/).*
**Programma**
* **17:30 – 18:00** Inloop + food & drinks
* **18:00 – 18:45** Talk 1: [Tim Steenvoorden](https://github.com/timjs) \- De lambda calculus in moderne programmeertalen
* **18:45– 19:00** Pauze
* **19:00 – 19:45** Talk 2: [Deftpower](https://www.deftpower.com/) - [William van der Vegt](https://vegt.dev/) \- Van thuislaadpaal naar actor: kennismaken met schaalbaar sessiebeheer in \.NET Orleans
* **20:00 - 21:00** Netwerken
**Talk 1: Tim Steenvoorden (Open Universiteit en Radboud Universiteit) - De lambda calculus in moderne programmeertalen**
Eén herschrijfregel, geen types, geen geheugen, geen loops.
In 1936 definieerde Alonzo Church een rekenmodel van bijna irritante eenvoud die toch even krachtig is als een Turingmachine: de lambda calculus. Deze sessie is een reis van die wiskundige kern naar de code die je dagelijks schrijft.
We beginnen met pen en papier: lambda termen lezen, schrijven en reduceren. We gebruiken niets anders dan functies voor het bouwen van datastructuren. Vervolgens maken we de vertaalslag naar closures, higher-order functions, immutability en pipelines in talen als Java(Script), Python, Kotlin, Haskell en Rust.
Het doel is niet om morgen anders te programmeren. Het doel is om te begrijpen waarom moderne talen de afgelopen decennia steeds meer functionele concepten hebben overgenomen en wat de gemeenschappelijke wortel daarvan is.
**Talk 2: Deftpower - William van der Vegt - Van thuislaadpaal naar actor: kennismaken met schaalbaar sessiebeheer in .NET Orleans**
Ik ben van kleins af aan een echte techfanaat; thuis hobby ik met gadgets, servers en frameworks. Sinds een klein half jaar werk ik bij Deftpower, waar bedrijf, sector én techstack perfect bij me passen. Daarvoor vijf jaar bij Info Support, vooral voor de klanten Air Miles en Moba.
Vanuit die liefde voor tech vertel ik wat over .NET Orleans: het framework waarmee we bij Deftpower duizenden thuislaadpalen tegelijk beheren. Duizenden live, stateful verbindingen, elk met hun eigen sessie en toestand.
In klassiek .NET loop je dan al snel tegen locks en race conditions aan. In deze talk laat ik zien hoe we elke laadpaal als een actor modelleren met .NET Orleans, en zo schaalbaar bouwen zonder grote concurrency issues.
Inclusief een praktische kennismaking met het actor-model, voorkennis van Orleans is niet nodig.

\#\#\# UX TALKS
**Talk 1:** **UX with AI: Did we all just get promoted?**
By An-Sofie Rombouts, Product designer @ Gorilla
Working in a startup often means designing without established UX processes. So with AI emerging, it can feel like a lifeline: faster prototyping, '*deeper*' research, and more concepts to explore. But somewhere between the third AI-generated prototype and losing the thread of your prompted designs, it can become painfully obvious what the impact is of designing with LLMs.
We're not executing anymore, we're reviewing, approving, and critiquing, like a manager.
This talk gets honest about what that actually means: the speed gains are real, but the cognitive debt is quietly compounding, and your future as a designer depends on understanding why.
Explore how designers can protect their cognitive depth, enhance their review capacity, and stay in control when the machine can almost draw anything.
**Talk 2:** **Growing UX in organisations that are not there yet.**
By Koen Peters, Designer at Namahn
More and more organisations are asking us to help build design expertise in-house, even putting together a design team for them. I have learnt that in such cases, you need to set aside your own biases and assumptions first: your neatly mapped-out methodology, your Figma dogmas and all the other things you as a design agency take for granted. The reality in these organisations is often very different: limited resources, no design culture and few or no trained designers on the team. Through a few client case studies, I will show how we have tackled such challenges. Organising a training in UX and design thinking is a good first step, offering a chance to get to know the team and identify which skills are already there and which are missing. I will also demonstrate tools and activities that we have used to help a team get started and become more aware of UX research and design. These include a script for choosing the right UX approach, skills assessment models to identify gaps and first steps towards creating a design playbook.

Azure Virtual Networks for developers
For our June meet-up, we will be welcoming Rik Hepworth, who will be delivering a talk on Azure Virtual Networks for developers
Cloud was supposed to save us, but those dastardly networks followed us there! So many projects in the cloud now demand that we keep our traffic within the corporate network. But what does that mean for our applications, and how much do we need to understand as developers? Can’t we just leave it to the networking team?
Let’s run through the fundamentals: stuff like DNS and address spaces, that are easy to mess up if you’re not paying attention. Let’s examine what’s meant by ‘hub and spoke’ or ‘split horizon DNS’. This isn’t a session for network professionals who already build and operate corporate systems at scale; this is a session for the developers who need to make sure their applications are going to work, who may not have spent years configuring switches and managing infrastructure, and who just need to know enough to get the job done and avoid the potholes on the journey.
**Food**
We have a selection of food available including Vegan options but if you'd like to know more please drop one of our organisers a message before the event via the group message forum. (https://secure.meetup.com/messages/)

What is your body trying to tell you?
We’ve all had it: going blank mid-sentence, a tight chest before a hard conversation, or that strange emptiness right after finally getting what we wanted. This first gathering is a chance to slow down and actually listen to what your body’s been holding.
For this session, we’ll explore the question together: what is your body trying to tell you? Through a short opening round, gentle orientation, and guided somatic practice, you’ll get a real feel for what Somatic Circle is about — not theory, but actual practice.
What to expect:
🗣️ A short opening round — a few words on how you’re arriving
🧭 A brief framing of the theme
🌀 Guided somatic practice — breath, presence, and gentle inquiry
💬 Space to reflect and share, if you want to
It is a free event!

* [Keown de Koning](https://www.linkedin.com/in/keowndekoning/) (Head of Channel)
**Beschrijving**
''Tijdens deze sessie nemen we je mee door het brede SUSE-portfolio. Van de betrouwbare basis van SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) tot multicluster Kubernetes-beheer met Rancher en zero-trust containerbeveiliging met SUSE Security: SUSE biedt een compleet, onafhankelijk open-source ecosysteem van besturingssysteem tot cloudtechnologieën.
We starten met de basis van SUSE en kijken terug naar de ontwikkeling van een Duitse open-source pionier in 1992 tot een wereldwijde enterprise speler van vandaag. Daarbij prikken we door de marketingverhalen heen en delen we praktijkvoorbeelden van organisaties die het volledige SUSE-portfolio inzetten om complexe infrastructuuruitdagingen op te lossen. Ook laten we zien hoe klanten de overstap maken van een Amerikaans georiënteerde infrastructuur naar een Europees alternatief. Tot slot geven we een live Rancher-demo, waarin je ziet hoe alle componenten naadloos samenwerken om moderne IT-landschappen te beveiligen, beheren en schaalbaar te maken.
Wat kun je verwachten:
* **Het volledige SUSE-verhaal**
Hoe een Europese open-source pionier een complete technologiestack heeft opgebouwd – van operating system tot Kubernetes.
* **Meer dan alleen containers**
Inzicht in het bredere portfolio (Linux & Cloud Native) en waarom dit aansluit bij de behoeften van moderne enterprises. Inclusief mogelijkheden om jezelf hierin te laten opleiden tot specialist.
* **Praktijkvoorbeelden uit de markt**
Hoe organisaties het volledige ecosysteem gebruiken voor stabiliteit, compliance en schaalbaarheid en waarom SUSE steeds vaker de nieuwe standaard wordt.
* **Live demo**
Zie het portfolio in actie en ontdek hoe SUSE de volledige keten verbindt: van infrastructuur tot en met de applicatielaag.
Of je nu infrastructure architect, platform engineer of security specialist bent: sluit aan en ontdek waarom het SUSE-portfolio perfect aansluit op jouw moderne infrastructuurstack!''

IN-PERSON Book Club Meeting - 'THE SYMPATHIZER' - Viet Thanh Nguyen
'THE SYMPATHIZER' by Viet Thanh Nguyen
'The winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as seven other awards, The Sympathizer is the breakthrough novel of the year. With the pace and suspense of a thriller and prose that has been compared to Graham Greene and Saul Bellow, The Sympathizer is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal. The narrator, a communist double agent, is a man of two minds, a half-French, half-Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the Fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam. The Sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship.'
***Please read the book and join us for a lively discussion (in English) about the contents during our afternoon book club meeting.***

(Cross-Posting) From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity
Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/
=======================================
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Food and drinks will be available.
