(Pozor, změna místa konání → Vlkova 628/36, Praha 3) Rozdíl mezi „zkusil jsem ChatGPT“ a **smysluplným využíváním AI ve vývoji** je obrovský. Na tomhle Qeetupu se podíváme na to, jak s AI pracovat **systematicky**: * jak AI testovat, ladit a dlouhodobě zlepšovat, * jak mít přehled o tom, co model dělá a proč, * jak AI zapojit do reálných workflow, ne jen jako chytrý autocomplete, * a co se změní ve chvíli, kdy nechceš nebo nemůžeš spoléhat jen na cloud a začneš řešit **lokální modely.** Žádné základy. Žádné „co je to LLM“. Tohle je **meetup pro vývojáře**. **Testování, evaluace a monitoring LLM agentů** LLM agenti dokážou řešit komplexní úlohy, ale bez správných nástrojů je těžké jim skutečně důvěřovat. Přednáška představí LangSmith jako platformu pro zajištění kvality, spolehlivosti a transparentnosti LLM agentů. Ukážeme si, jak pomocí testování, evaluací a observability zkrátit vývojový cyklus a bezpečně nasazovat AI aplikace do produkce. **Nebojme se malých modelů!** SLM: mýty, realita a praxe, aneb nebojme se malých (lokálních) modelů, kdy dává smysl provozovat SLM, jaké mají reálné limity a výhody oproti cloudovým LLM a jaké use-casy už dnes fungují v praxi. No BS, s konkrétními zkušenostmi a doporučeními. **Kdo bude mluvit?** 🎤 **[Petr Malík](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petr-malik/)** – Team leader, [Qest technologies](https://www.linkedin.com/company/qest-technologies/posts/?feedView=all) 🎤 **[Daniel Čupak](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-cupak-prague/)** – Head of data, [Qest technologies](https://www.linkedin.com/company/qest-technologies/posts/?feedView=all) **Pro koho meetup je?** * Pro devy, kteří už AI používají a naráží na její limity. * Pro lidi, co chtějí jít za hranici promptů a „one-shot odpovědí“. * Pro týmy, které řeší, jak AI používat dlouhodobě, opakovaně a kontrolovaně. * Pro každého, koho zajímá, **kdy dává smysl lokální LLM a kdy ne.**

### **Business & Wine Evening \| Humans in Business Prague** Let’s unwind, connect, and talk honestly about business in Prague— over a glass of wine, coffee or whatever is on the menu in Cafedu. Whether you’re building something new, thinking about starting, growing your project, or figuring out your next step, this evening is for you. Expect an informal atmosphere, real conversations, and a chance to meet like-minded people who “get it.” We’ll chat about: * the *ups and downs* of running or starting a business, * what’s currently challenging you, * and what’s been working for others. No pitches, no pressure — just people, ideas, and honest exchange. **Bring:** curiosity, openness, and maybe a business story or two. **NOTE**: Feel free to **JOIN** even if you are on the waiting list.

CZ: Již druhá akce z nové série meetupů! EN: The second event from a new series of meetups! 18:30 **Přivítání a úvod/Welcome and introduction** *(Ondřej Smrž/Martin Kahoun)* 18:40 **Tech Art v Blenderu: Game Dev a něco navíc/Tech Art in Blender: Game Dev and Beyond** *(Miroslav Horváth - PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions)* CZ: Praktický přehled tech artu v Blenderu se zaměřením na vývoj her – od tvorby obsahu pro rozsáhlé otevřené světy a procedurální generování až po automatizovanou kontrolu kvality herních assetů (QA) a nástroje pro art pipeline. Probereme také přístupy k vyhodnocování výstupů generovaných pomocí ML a odhalování generativních artefaktů a ukážeme, jak Blender zvládne i „divné“ ne-umělecké projekty – například vizualizaci distribuce prvočísel nebo vizualizaci a analýzu sociálních sítí. EN: A practical overview of tech art in Blender focused on game development—from creating content for large open worlds and procedural generation to automated game asset QA and art pipeline tools. We’ll also cover approaches for evaluating ML-generated outputs and catching generation artifacts, and show how Blender can handle “weird” non-art projects too—like prime distribution visualization or social network visualization and analysis. 19:40 **Fluid Simulation in Computer Graphics/Simulace Tekutin v Počítačové Grafice** *(Tomáš Skřivan - SideFX Software)* CZ: V této přednášce se podíváme na základy simulace tekutin v počítačové grafice a ukážeme, jak vytvořit fyzikálně věrohodné simulace ohně, kouře, vody, písku a sněhu. Prozkoumáme tři hlavní přístupy, metody založené na mřížce, na částicích a hybridní metody, přičemž zdůrazníme silné a slabé stránky každé z nich. Také se krátce podíváme na matematický popis tekutin na kterém tyto metody staví a ukážeme, jak slavné Navier-Stokesovy rovnice jsou v podstatě jen Newtonovým druhým pohybovým zákonem. Celá přednáška bude ilustrována konkrétními simulacemi vytvořenými v programu Houdini od SideFX. EN: In this talk we will explore the fundamentals of fluid simulation in computer graphics, show how to create physically plausible simulations of fire, smoke, water, sand, and snow. We examine the three main approaches, grid-based, particle-based, and hybrid methods, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. We also take a brief look at the underlying mathematics, showing how the famous Navier-Stokes equations are essentially Newton's second law of motion. The journey through fluid simulation will be illustrated with concrete examples created in SideFX's Houdini. 20:30 - 21:00 Ukončení akce a přesunutí do blízké restaurace / End of the event and move to a nearby restaurant Originál Formanka https://maps.app.goo.gl/QUE5cnqsJ2vankJk8

Březnový sraz v [pivovaru Lajka](https://pivovarlajka.cz/pivovar/) je zpátky a tentokrát to bude pestrý mix — od umělé inteligence přes seriálové právo až po networking s lidmi, kteří žijí frontendem a designem. Vezměte dobrou náladu a přijďte! Budeme se scházet postupně od 18:00 a **od 18:30 máme na programu:** * 📰 Nowwwinky od Tomáše Kouta * 🤖 AI tě naučí všechno.

Tomáš pro vás jako vždy vybral to nejzajímavější, co se od posledního srazu událo. **AI tě naučí všechno. Nebo nic. 🤖 – Karolína Vyskočilová** Studie od Anthropicu ukazuje, že lidi, co AI slepě poslouchají, rozumí vlastní práci míň než ti, co ji nepoužívají vůbec. Naopak ti, co se zeptat umí, mohou růst rychleji. Kde je hranice mezi „AI mi pomáhá růst" a „AI za mě přemýšlí"? Podíváme se, jak k tomu přistupuju já a budu ráda, když nasdílíte, jak to máte vy. Karolína Vyskočilová – nezávislá vývojářka a konzultantka (kybernaut.cz). Lingvistka, co víc než 15 let programuje weby a aplikace, a teď sleduje, jak se s AI všechno točí kolem jazyka. **Seriál Silicon Valley byl více o právu než o techu. Nevěříš? ⚖️ – Karel Navrátil & Jakub Gregorec** Seriál Silicon Valley není prorokem jen v tech světě, ale i v právu. Na první dobrou jsme to neviděli. Proto jsme se po letech na něj podívali znovu, tentokrát se zkušenostmi právníka i znalostí startup světa. A bylo tam opravdu všechno. Žádná přednáška vám nedokáže vysvětlit realitu práva jako tento seriál. Tvůrci mezi řádky schovali právní rady k nezaplacení. My vám ty nejlepší ukážeme pohledem právníka. Pozor! Některé postavy po přednášce už nikdy neuvidíte jako dřív. **„Risk{f}uj!"** 🎲 Čeká nás další kolo oblíbené vědomostní soutěže na frontendová témata.

Control & Clarity in Atlassian Platform direction, admin sanity, and real-world planning Atlassian is evolving fast — new platform concepts, new ways of organizing work, and increasing complexity for admins and teams. At the same time, many organizations are struggling with very practical questions: How do we stay in control? How do we keep things tidy and manageable? And how do we plan realistically as teams and environments grow? At this Atlassian Community Event in Prague, we’ll bring together Atlassian insights, partner experience, and real customer examples to explore how teams are navigating change — and what actually works in practice. 🎤 Agenda & Speakers Service Collection: Platform Direction & What’s Coming Next Darryl LeeSolutions Engineer, Atlassian Darryl will give a high-level introduction to Service Collection — what it is, why Atlassian is investing in it, and what it means for existing customers. The session will also include a look at the roadmap and upcoming changes, helping attendees better understand where the Atlassian platform is heading and how to prepare for it. Atlassian Cloud and the Loss of Control Ed LetifovTechTime Initiative Group Limited Sometimes it feels like too much is happening in Atlassian — too fast, with too little visibility. User identities, access, and numbers stop making sense, and admins are left feeling overwhelmed. In this talk, Ed will share real approaches implemented by TechTime’s customers to organize user identities in Atlassian Cloud, reduce chaos, make data consistent, and ultimately lower admin stress. A practical session focused on regaining control and clarity. When Estimation Breaks: Collaborative Planning in Jira at Scale Maria MelnikCTO, Teamlead Jira’s estimation model assumes one person owns one issue. In real teams, work is collaborative — and that’s where estimation starts to fall apart. Subtasks, custom fields, and manual roll-ups can help, but they often create noise, overhead, and unreliable data for admins. This session explores how teams handle collaborative estimation in Jira today, where native approaches hit their limits, and what practical patterns partners use to restore clarity. A real-world discussion focused on reducing admin effort and making planning data usable again. Understanding Team Capacity in Jira: Native Features vs. Real-World Usage Ostap ZaishlyiSenior Product Manager, Reliex Jira offers multiple native ways to view workload and capacity — boards, calendars, and Jira Plans — but how well do these tools work as complexity grows? Using a real customer example, this session explores: What Jira’s native features can (and can’t) tell you Where teams typically hit limitations How add-ons like ActivityTimeline are used to complement Jira and gain clearer visibility into workloads, availability, and constraints — enabling better planning decisions in real-life scenarios 🤝 Networking & Catering As always, the event will conclude with networking, food, and drinks — a great opportunity to: Connect with fellow Atlassian users, admins, and partners Ask follow-up questions to the speakers Share experiences and challenges in an informal setting Whether you’re an admin, a team lead, or simply curious about where Atlassian is heading, this event is designed to give you clarity, perspective, and practical takeaways. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
