Buzoku Meetup | Web3 and AI | Barcelona Join us in Sant Gervasi for Buzoku, a bi monthly casual meetup for people building in Web3, AI, and digital systems. What started as a Web3 focused group is now expanding to include AI builders as well. The format No panels No presentations No agenda We meet at a bar, grab a drink, and talk. That is it. Who comes A mix of: • Engineers and technical builders • Founders and operators • Investors and traders • Designers and curious minds Working across: • Crypto, Web3, and digital assets • AI, agents, and applied machine learning You do not need to be working at the intersection. If you are deep in either space, you will find your people here. We are also very interested in where AI and crypto meet, including agentic systems, automated finance, and new coordination models. What to expect • Real conversations about what people are actually building • War stories, ideas, experiments, and lessons learned • A relaxed environment where you can meet people naturally No pressure to pitch. No structured talks. Just good people and good discussions. Why join • Meet high quality builders in Barcelona • Exchange ideas without the noise of formal events • Find collaborators, hires, or new opportunities 🍺 🍷 Drinks on us, both alcoholic and non alcoholic We try to keep the group high signal. If you are actively building or deeply involved in AI or crypto, you will get the most out of it.

**Scientific Paper Reading Club: What**: PRAGMA: Revolut Foundation Model https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.08649 **Summary**: We'll discuss a paper about a new kind of foundation model for banking. Instead of building separate models for fraud detection, credit scoring, customer engagement, and dozens of other tasks, the authors train a single model that learns a general representation of a person's financial behavior and reuse it everywhere. **Meeting Details:** 🗣 **Presenter:** Maksim Ostroukhov 💬 **Language of the meeting:** English 🎟 **Entrance donation:** 10 eur 📍 **Location:** Maui coworking (Note: For some reason, Meetup maps sometimes wrongly point to other addresses.

*Presentación-coloquio sobre el libro Los algoritmos de la vida*: Una mirada al orden oculto en el caos. **Descripción del evento:** Entrada libre. Sin coste. ¿Somos parte de una inteligencia colectiva que nos precede y rige el funcionamiento de todos los reinos de seres vivos? Te invito a la librería **+Bernat** (c/ Buenos Aires 6, Barcelona) para compartir una reflexión sobre el *elegante orden que acoge al caos de lo vivo*. En este encuentro, exploraremos los algoritmos que rigen desde la inteligencia del universo hasta nuestra relación actual con la Inteligencia Artificial. Es una invitación a habitar el MISTERIO. Conversaremos acerca de cómo, en esta era de la IA y del transhumanismo, el movimiento *Personal Degrowth* surge como una vía para recuperar nuestra naturaleza relacional y nuestra conexión con la TOTALIDAD. **Puntos a tratar:** · **La inteligencia colectiva:** De la simbiosis bacteriana a la red *wood wide web* de los bosques. · **El futuro humano:** ¿Estamos ante un salto evolutivo o ante la extinción de nuestra esencia? Ven a conversar y a ser partícipe de esta reflexión inclusiva. Porque, como decía Einstein, *la mente es como un paracaídas: solo funciona si está abierto*

This is the third in a series of meetups exploring the exciting world of **[OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/)** within the cloud-native ecosystem. And this time, we are partnering with our good friends at [Write the Docs Barcelona](https://www.meetup.com/write-the-docs-barcelona/). Whether you're just curious about observability or already a seasoned OpenTelemetry user, this series will offer valuable insights, practical knowledge, and opportunities to connect with fellow enthusiasts in the Barcelona cloud-native community. **📍 Location:** **[Factorial](https://factorial.es)** \- Carrer de Llacuna 56\, building C\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/baTqk9H8m3ACK4jD7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/baTqk9H8m3ACK4jD7) **👉 Here's a sneak peek of the agenda:** **18:30:** Check-in and welcome 👋 **18:45:** 🎙️ **"Collaborating in OSS projects: The OpenTelemetry Docs case study"** by **[Anna Urbiztondo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaurbiztondo/)** - *Senior Technical Writer at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com)*, **[Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabrizioferri/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabrizioferri/)- *Principal Technical Writer* *at [Elastic](https://elastic.co)***.** This Write the Docs meets Cloud Native talk covers what makes open-source projects succeed in practice — clear focus, community ownership, organization, goodwill, and excellent communication in a fast-moving codebase. OpenTelemetry Documentation is a perfect example because it encompasses new, state-of-the-art concepts and spans across multiple languages and vendors. Therefore, its docs must explain workflows, implementation scenarios, deployment tools, and APIs to both newcomers and seasoned users to guarantee adoption and success. **19:45 - 20:30:** Networking, Snacks, and Drinks 🍻🍕 We appreciate **[Factorial](https://factorial.es)**'s generosity in hosting us at their Barcelona office and to **[Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com)** for providing snacks & refreshments. Thank you so much 🙌 See you there! 👋

We’re thrilled to announce the next edition of the BcnRust Meetup, this time hosted by **[Protofy](https://protofy.xyz/)**! Join us for an evening exploring two very different but equally ambitious Rust projects: an AI-native virtual machine that rethinks how code is executed, and a distributed task queue built as a hands-on journey into async Rust, concurrency, and fault-tolerant systems. Whether you're interested in language runtimes, AI agents, distributed systems, or simply seeing how Rust enables bold ideas, this meetup is for you. **Driver: An Agentic VM in Rust** by [Cristian Sánchez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cr3at0r/) Most virtual machines are deterministic by design. LLMs break that. But what if AI wasn't an external API on top, but a native execution primitive inside the VM itself? Driver is a Rust VM where AI is a first-class execution primitive. The stdlib is aware of whether it's being invoked by deterministic bytecode or by an LLM-generated action and behaves accordingly. We'll cover the practical decisions behind the core VM, and the toolkit around it. **Aether: Learning Async Rust by building a Distributed Task Queue** by [Arnau Berenguer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnau-berenguer-jimenez/) Building a distributed system is a great way to learn async Rust because you run into all the hard parts for real. In this talk I'll walk through Aether, a personal project of a task queue that lets you submit and run Python scripts on a cluster from a CLI. We'll cover the system architecture, how to handle multiple concurrent tasks sharing state, how to handle loss of connection, and propagating cancellation signals on concurrent tasks over the network. Along the way we'll see the honest lessons learned and what makes async Rust hard but fun. **Why Attend?** * Explore advanced Rust applications, from AI-native runtimes to distributed infrastructure. * Learn practical lessons about virtual machine design, async programming, concurrency, and fault tolerance. * Discover how experienced Rust developers approach complex systems and architectural trade-offs. * Connect with Barcelona's Rust community and exchange ideas with fellow engineers, makers, and enthusiasts. * Get inspired by real-world projects that push Rust beyond the usual web services and CLI tools. Whether you're a Rust beginner curious about what's possible, or a seasoned developer looking to dive deeper into systems programming, you'll leave with new ideas, technical insights, and plenty to discuss. Let’s build, learn, and geek out over Rust together! 🦀 **Streaming**: We will stream it via YouTube so you can also subscribe to our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@bcnrust) to get notified when we go live.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
