**Haluatko oppia puhumaan selkeämmin, itsevarmemmin – ja vähän vähemmällä jännityksellä?** **Stadin Sanasepät** on suomenkielinen puhe- ja esiintymistaitojen treenikenttä, jossa opitaan puhumalla – ei istumalla passiivisena luennoilla. Meillä esiintytään, mokaillaan, pitchataan ja kehitytään turvallisessa ja kannustavassa ilmapiirissä. Tämä on hyvä paikka, jos haluat esimerkiksi: – saada itsevarmuutta esiintymiseen – sanoittaa omaa ajatustasi napakammin – treenata tulevaa työpaikan esitystä varten – kehittyä palautteen antajana (ja vastaanottajana!) – tai vaan oppia puhumaan ihmisille niin, että ne kuuntelee Saat oman mentorin, pääsyn kansainväliseen Toastmasters-materiaaliin – ja ennen kaikkea porukan, joka tsemppaa ja kulkee mukana. Vieraileminen on maksutonta eikä ennakkoilmoittautumista tarvita. Tule testaamaan, miltä tuntuu puhua yleisön edessä. Ei tarvitse olla valmis – kunhan haluat oppia.

(English version at the bottom) Itsekritiikki voi tuntua hyvin tutulta: mieli arvioi, vertaa ja vaatii enemmän. Tässä meditaatiossa tutkimme, mistä tämä ääni syntyy ja mitä tapahtuu, kun siihen suhtautuu hieman lempeämmin. 𝐌𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨 Maanantain meditaatio on viikoittainen zen-harjoitus. Harjoittelemme yhdessä meditaatiota ja tutkimme joka kerta yhtä aihetta, joka voi avata uusia näkökulmia omaan mieleen ja elämän kokemiseen. Harjoitus voi tuoda lisää selkeyttä, rauhaa ja tasapainoa sekä meditaatiossa että arjen tilanteissa. 𝐌𝐲ö𝐭ä𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐚 Tämä ilta on osa myötätunnon ja mettameditaation teemaa, jota tutkimme maanantain meditaatioissa 23.3.–20.4.

In this meditation, we explore where this voice comes from and what happens when we approach it with a little more gentleness. 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Monday meditation is a weekly Zen practice. We meditate together and each week explore a new topic that can open new perspectives about our own mind and our experience of life.

Over 20 years in devops, currently helping secure the world at Hoxhunt **Terraform Blocks You Don't Know** "I know a lot of terraform, but what is it that I don't know", Lauri pondered and decided to find out. 'Terraform blocks you don't know' chronicles Lauri's perilous journey through the official Terraform documentation in search of obscure and overlooked parts of Terraform, what they are and are they actually useful in practice? The presentation contains examples using (mostly) Google Cloud, handful of demos including that of Terraform Stacks and a lot of opinions laced with picante dashes of frustration and agony. The presentation expects prior experience of using standard Terraform features. Lauri Suomalainen has a decade of experience working with public clouds and software. He currently works as the Head of Cloud Development and a cloud consultant at Teamit and is one of the founders and organisers of the Helsinki HashiCorp User Group. Besides professional nerdy interests, Lauri's freetime nerdy interests include playing in a death metal band, rock climbing and board games. **Streaming:** link coming up soon **Join our slack:** [http://www.devopsfinland.org/](http://www.devopsfinland.org/) **LinkedIn:** [https://www.linkedin.com/company/102919614](https://www.linkedin.com/company/102919614)

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**TBA**

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
