The Illusion of Security
## **The Illusion of Security**
*Locks. Gates. Guards. Cameras. Barriers. Helmets and hard hats.The theater of safety.*
This week, we’re turning our lenses toward **security — or the illusion of it.**
From padlocks on gates and rolled-down corrugated steel shop doors to uniformed guards behind folding tables, this assignment is about **how we try to protect space**, and the ways that protection is performed, improvised, or quietly failing.
***
### What to Look For:
* **Locks** — rusted, broken, doubled-up, or decorative.
* **Chains** and padlocks, bike locks to mailboxes
* **Gates** — chained, ajar, ornate, or industrial
* **Surveillance cameras** and motion sensors that may or may not be working
* **Security booths**, empty or occupied
* **Warning signs** — “No Trespassing,” “Private,” “24hr CCTV”
* **Security personnel** — formal or makeshift (vests, folding chairs, handwritten logs). Police if you dare!
* **Barriers** — barbed wire, ropes, tape, fencing
* **Places where security fails or is absurd** — a massive lock on a flimsy door, a sign with no gate, a guard asleep at their post
This is a great chance to explore **irony, repetition, symbolism**, and how the city tries to enforce rules, and how individuals control trespassing and theft — visually and physically.
***
### Why This Matters:
Security is everywhere — **visual, psychological, architectural**. But often, it’s more about **perception than protection.**
We’re not here to mock or intrude. We’re here to **observe** how security is **displayed**, **layered**, and **sometimes performative**. This is about the **objects and structures** that say: *“This place is protected.”*
Whether or not that protection is real… is up to the viewer.
***
### How to Approach:
* Frame **contrast** — a heavy lock on a glass door, an old camera on a new building
* Look for **texture** and signs of decades of weathered use.
* Use **shadows or reflections** to add tension or ambiguity
* Shoot both **wide for context** and **tight for detail**
This could be an interesting assignment for **black-and-white shooting**, focusing on tone, texture shape, and contrast.
Any camera will do, including phones and point-and-shoot. Composition is always the most important factor.
***
### Meet-Up Details:
**Start:** 2:30 PM
**Meeting Point: Yau Ma Tei MTR Exit A1,** Street level (by the motorcycle parking). I think this area will be good as there a lot of closed shops down Canton and Reclamation on Sundays.
**Debrief:** 4:00 PM
Let’s shoot for 90 minutes and meet again to talk about what we found.
Reservation under Robert:
LIBERTY COFFEE & WINE
NO. 2 DUNDAS STREET (near Ferry Street)
MONG KOK
***
### After the Walk:
Post approximately **5 images** that explore this theme. If this topic really resonated and you generated even more amazing images, post more! Think about **narrative, metaphor, and contradiction.**
***
**Locks can be broken.**
**Barriers can be symbolic.**
**Security can be an illusion.**
Let’s photograph the spaces where control meets vulnerability.

The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward, A WIA Vision Circle
As we step into a new year, many of us are carrying lessons, practices, and questions shaped by the year behind us.
The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward is a warm, facilitated vision circle designed to help us pause together, reflect on what truly worked, and imagine what we want to carry forward into what comes next.
This is not a talk or presentation.
It’s a small, participatory gathering focused on shared reflection, sense-making, and connection.
**Together, we’ll explore:**
* What supported you over the past year — in your work, leadership, or life
* What you’re ready to leave behind
* What you want next January’s version of yourself to be saying
To support reflection in different ways, we’ll also have optional art materials available for anyone who would like to create a simple artifact for their year — a visual or tactile reminder of what they’re carrying forward.
We’ll provide basic art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, paint pens, and small canvases. If you enjoy working with collage or other media, you’re warmly invited to bring magazines, stickers, or your favorite creative materials to use or share. Participation in the creative portion is completely optional.
You don’t need a plan, goals, or polished answers. Curiosity, honesty, and listening are more than enough.
The intention is for everyone to leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired — with a clearer sense of what matters to them and how we can support one another as a community.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
⸻
**What to Expect**
* A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup)
* Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak
* Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving
* Optional creative reflection using simple art materials
* A calm, supportive environment
⸻
**Who This Is For**
Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for thoughtful conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords.
⸻
**Good to Know**
* No preparation required
* Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome
* Creative activities are optional — you can simply listen and reflect
* You’re welcome to bring your own collage or craft materials if you’d like
* Location details will be shared with registered attendees
Columbus Code & Coffee 82 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Pragmatic Buddhist Practice
Meditation practice with short sutra service, dharma talk and discussion.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Doing KPIs Right
**Doing KPIs Right: a KEY to Analytics (and AI!) Impact!**
On the one hand, KPIs are such a Business 101 concept that it may seem a little silly to dedicate an entire session to the topic. On the other hand, KPIs get handled so poorly so often that a case could be made that this meetup could just be one of the most impactful sessions of the entire year!
We’re starting off the year at a new location: [COhatch Upper Arlington](https://www.cohatch.com/locations/columbus/upper-arlington/) but with a familiar speaker, Tim Wilson! We’ll be back at Rev1 in February, when the speaker will presumably not be Tim.
Tim will make the case that effectively measuring performance of projects, campaigns, and initiatives (and even meetups!) should be a foundation for any data analytics program. Topics covered will include: the “two magic questions” of performance measurement, how to help business partners distinguish between outcomes and outputs, and effective tactics for collaboratively establishing KPI targets.
He will also stick his neck out by demonstrating some of these techniques in real-time by measuring whether his talk lives up to the promise of this description!
All CBUSDAW events are free thanks to our 2026 Sponsors: Clarivoy, Conductrics, What Box Consulting Group, and Piwik PRO.

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**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
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.
