**Late January Meetup Tomorrow! For the Spontaneous Ones** **Agenda:** **18:00** \- Doors open \- Mingling \+ Food **18:30** \- Opening Remarks **18:40 Nir Parisian** CEO at Enpitech **-AI Workflows That Actually Boost Delivery** A lecture that will focus on practical AI workflows for development teams: Collecting tasks from Slack, parallel development with cloud Agents, and smart feature planning. Real examples from a live project, with ideas that can be implemented in your team starting tomorrow. **19:10 -** **Hands-on workshop with Hadar Geva -** Co-Founder & CTO at Myop **Myop Hands-On Workshop — Ship UI Without Deploying** **Duration:** 1 hour \| **Format:** Hands-on, bring your laptop \# What We'll Do In this workshop you'll learn how to integrate dynamic\, remotely\-managed UI components into a React application using \[Myop\]\(https://myop\.dev\) \- so your team can ship UI changes instantly\, without code changes or redeploys\. We'll go from zero to a working integration in under an hour: 1. **Understand the problem Myop solves** — why UI changes shouldn't require a full deploy cycle, and how Myop separates rendering from application logic. 2. **Pick a pre-built component** from the \[Myop Component Gallery\]\(https://live\.myop\.dev/gallery\) — choose one that fits your project or grab a generic one to experiment with\. 3. **Integrate it into a React app** using @myop/react — pass data in, handle events out, and see it render live. No complex setup, no boilerplate. 4. **Install an auto-generated typed npm package** for your component — get full TypeScript autocomplete and type safety, as if the component was a local part of your codebase. This is the part that changes how you think about remote components. \#\# What You'll Walk Away With \- A working React app with a live Myop component \- Hands\-on experience with MyopComponent and auto\-generated typed packages \- A clear mental model: your app owns data and logic\, Myop components own the rendering\, and the dashboard handles deployment \#\# Come Prepared - **Node.js v22+** installed - **A free Myop account** — sign up at \[dashboard\.myop\.dev\]\(https://dashboard\.myop\.dev\) - **A code editor** (VS Code recommended) - **A React app** to integrate into — even a fresh npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts works perfectly No prior Myop experience needed. If you write React, you're ready. **When?** Thursday, 05 February 2025 - **18:00 We start on time!** **Where?** WeWork Yigal Alon St 114, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Stage 11

18:00 - 18:30 - Gathering & Mingling 🍻 18:30 - 18:45 - Opening Notes 18:45 - 19:15 - **Turning a One-Off Fix into Org-Wide Automation** 19:15 - 19:45 - **Decouple Your Decoupling: Level-up your GitHub workflows** Sponsor and host us for this event - **Melio** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-**Full-Agenda-Below**\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **18:30 - 18:45 - Introduction & Community updates** **18:45 - 19:15 - Turning a One-Off Fix into Org-Wide Automation** *by Rotem Gani / Efi Merdler-Kravitz / Chen Amrani* Every engineering team has that moment - a repetitive, error-prone change that needs to be applied across dozens of repositories. Everyone knows it should be automated - but somehow it never is. This talk tells the real story of how one such "annoying but necessary" fix evolved into a fully-fledged Github Copilot Agent powered automation platform used across our organization. **19:15 - 19:45 - Decouple Your Decoupling: Level-up your GitHub workflows** *by Tom Brovender* GitHub Actions has made it easy to automate almost anything, but building CI/CD that truly scales across many repositories and teams is still hard. As projects grow, pipelines tend to become tightly tied to specific repos, environments, and assumptions, which makes change slower and harder than it should be. In this talk, I’ll share how to think about GitHub Actions in a more modular way, so teams can move faster without stepping on each other. You’ll see how small design choices in your workflows can make a big difference in how easy your CI/CD is to grow, maintain, and trust over time.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

**Abstract:** The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is an X-ray light source at Argonne National Laboratory where researchers perform imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy experiments at 68 specialized beamlines. APS recently completed a major upgrade that made it the brightest synchrotron in the world and upgraded many of the beamlines to take advantage of the dramatically brighter, more coherent beam. These new capabilities are increasing the facility’s raw data production from <10 PB/year before the upgrade to >100 PB/year once all instruments are back online. To meet this data challenge, the APS Beamline Data Pipeline project team is partnering with beamline staff to develop and deploy science data pipelines that use a common set of open-source software tools (many written in Python) to link instruments with the Polaris supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) for data processing. This talk will describe the APS data systems, our file-based and streaming pipeline templates, and some of the open-source software we use to extract scientific insights from beamline data. **Audience Takeaway:** Open source Python data acquisition and analysis tools are ubiquitous at the APS. Many of the packages that are mentioned can be found at [https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource](https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource). This is a *hybrid* event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm: [https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1](https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1) **Sponsor**: Grainger will provide the meeting site, as well as snacks for the onsite participants. * **Address:** 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, 18th Floor, Chicago, IL 60654 * **Grainger's Overview:** W.W.

Join members of the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. There _might_ be a little snow, but there _will_ be effectively infinite serve-yourself coffee, so it evens out if you ask me. Just a reminder, while the other locations are great too, we’re at the Lane Ave one this time.

OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development
