Ponent: Alberto Larraz, cofundador d'IsardVDI IsardVDI va néixer fa més de 14 anys com a resposta a una necessitat molt concreta: cobrir el buit que hi havia a l'ecosistema del programari lliure a l'hora d'oferir una alternativa real a solucions propietàries com Citrix o VMware Horizon en entorns educatius que no es podien permetre el cost d'aquestes solucions. El que va començar com un projecte per desplegar escriptoris virtuals ha anat creixent i transformant-se al ritme del feedback de la seva comunitat d'usuaris, incorporant funcionalitats que avui el converteixen en una eina versàtil: muntatge d'escenaris de ciberseguretat, democratització de l'accés a escriptoris amb capacitats de GPU, integració de dispositius remots i locals o la gestió avançada d'usuaris i plantilles. En aquesta xerrada explicarem com va ser aquest recorregut i ens aturarem especialment en un dels girs més interessants del projecte: la gestió de GPUs. El que originalment es va desenvolupar per donar suport a escriptoris amb acceleració gràfica i 3D s'ha convertit ara en la base sobre la qual desplegem instàncies per executar inferències locals amb models d'IA. Compartirem l'arquitectura, les decisions tècniques preses pel camí i els reptes d'aprofitar infraestructura pensada per a VDI en càrregues de treball d'IA. Mostrarem com IsardVDI t'ajuda a treure profit a la teva infraestructura per generar imatges, executar xats LLM i fer servir assistents de codi sobre models d'IA locals i sobirans. 📅 **Data:** 28 d'abril ⏰ **Hora d'inici de la xerrada:** 19:00 h 📍 **Ubicació:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona

Circling and Transformational Connection - the practice of relational presencing Barcelona, Av Diagonal 345. 50 meters from Verdauger st. Press the button ' bajo' This group is about presence, authenticity, connection, aliveness and revealing the truth of the present moment. * Meeting meaningfully yourself and others in and trough the present moment - ☀️ This practice invites us for : -Slowing down. -Listening and landing. -Tuning into the present moment and the unique experience of it. \- Becoming aware and noticing how something "speaks" to you trough the unfoldment of the present moment\, within and in environment\. \- Revealing something meaningful for you from your felt sense and present moment experience to other/s\. \- Noticing how the presence of others impacts and 'speaks' to you\. \- Owning your bodily felt sense experience\. \- Trusting your experience\. \- Aiming to listen\, attune\, empathize and understand the other ones and to be with them in their experience\. ☀️This practice can be described as a relational meditation, or relational truth seeking. Aim is to gradually develop contemplative and reflective capacity towards all the nuances manifesting trough shared present moment experience. This can often create deep insights, meaningful moments in connection, and even altered states of consciousness. ☀️Some of the other skills which are developing trough this practice are : * awareness skills (body, emotion, energy) * communication skills * ability to stay in a present moment * connection skills * empathy, intuition, capacity to know beyond usualness * heart openness * trust to Life's wisdom * accuracy in articulation * ability to contemplate any life experience * The evening will unfold trough pair and group exercises. Practice evenings will be weekly, on Tuesdays at 18:30-21:00. Place : Barcelona Av Diagonal 345. 50 meters from Verdauger st.

**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to an event hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com) at their beautiful office in Poblenou, in the heart of Barcelona's innovation district. **Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You** As AI accelerates the pace of production, the fear of being "out-paced" is real. But designers already hold the key to the future: the Design System. Far from just a library of components, a robust Design System sits at the critical intersection of design and code—the exact language AI speaks. In this talk, we’ll explore why the foundations you’ve already built are the ultimate launchpad for AI-driven scale and speed. Learn how to pivot your design system from a static resource into an automated engine, ensuring that as we scale at the speed of light, Design remains the pilot, not just a passenger. **Speaker** [Nikki Plyem](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikkiplyem/) is Design Manager of Product Platform at Docplanner.

**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **April 28th**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[ERNI](https://www.betterask.erni/es-es/)**! 📍**Location**: El Triangle\, Pl\. de Catalunya\, 1\-4\, 3º planta\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/o6PfJFXRxhYPWSwr7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/o6PfJFXRxhYPWSwr7) \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:30** Proxmox HCS (Home Cloud Services) * **19:30 - 20:15** FinOps from Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: "Proxmox HCS (Home Cloud Services)"** * **Speaker**: [Oliana Cintas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliana-cintas-grau-7a393a160/) - *Senior IT consultant at [ERNI](https://www.betterask.erni/es-es/).* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: In this session, Oliana will demonstrate how to use the open-source platform Proxmox to build a personal data center or "HomeLab" for less than 250€. We will walk through a real-world scenario: deploying a frontend web app using a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. You’ll learn how to integrate GitLab, LXC containers, and Terraform to mirror professional environments right from your living room. Stepping into a specialized, high-stakes role can be intimidating—especially when mistakes are costly. DevOps is the perfect example: the "barrier to entry" often feels like it requires a massive enterprise budget just to practice. But is it possible to master production-grade DevOps without breaking the bank? * **About**: Oliana Cintas is a Maker with over 8 years of experience in the automotive sector. He is the former co-owner of a non-profit maker association and an app startup. *** * **Title: "FinOps from Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost"** * **Speaker**: [Julia Lamenza](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jlamenza/) - *Senior SRE & Cloud Architect - Consultant* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: Cloud costs often become visible only after deployment. In fast-moving environments, engineering teams can unintentionally introduce expensive infrastructure changes with every pull request. This talk explores how to shift left cost awareness by embedding FinOps directly into the development workflow. Using Terraform and Infracost, we can bring real-time cost estimation into pull requests, enabling engineers to understand the financial impact of their changes before deployment. * **About**: Site Reliability Engineer with 13+ years of experience building and operating scalable infrastructure across cloud and hybrid environments. Outside of work, she enjoys speaking at tech events, exploring new places, and building connections within the community. \-\-\-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport - email" field** when registering!

**This is not for everyone.** **And that’s the point.** **ANTI-NORMA** is not a show. It’s a disruption. A space where drag, desire, and discomfort meet. Where nothing is entirely predictable. And where you’re not just watching — you’re part of it. This experience plays with tension, curiosity, and the things we don’t always say out loud. It’s immersive, provocative, and designed to make you feel something. If you’re looking for a safe, traditional night out… this isn’t it. But if you’re open, curious, and ready to step outside the norm — you might be exactly where you need to be.
