Happy 2026! Our first meetup of the year will be back at Zühlke's offices near Old Street, with Guillaume Faas talking about better ways to handle exceptions, Jenny Martin talking about taming complexity with OOPSI, plus the usual drinks, snacks, and plenty of time to chat. Doors 18:30, the first talk starts at 19:00 and we'll be done and heading to the pub at 21:00 to continue the conversation. **Guillaume Faas: Throw exceptions... out of your codebase** Throwing exceptions is often used to handle errors, validations, and other specific use cases. It is considered by many to be the standard way of indicating a failure and providing feedback to the caller. However, this approach can cause significant issues like being hard to detect, obfuscating the flow or leaving the system invalid. In this talk, I want to show you a faster alternative that offers more transparency and predictability. We will see how to integrate ideas from the Functional paradigm, such as "Monads", into an Object-Oriented codebase using a real-life project: Vonage's open-source .NET SDK. This talk will be the perfect opportunity to show you what they are and how easy they are to use. **Guillaume Faas** is a Senior .Net Developer Advocate at Vonage, based in Thionville, France. In recent years, Guillaume has focused on sharing my experience through mentoring, public speaking, and open-source contributions; all aimed at helping teams grow and build sustainable software. With nearly 15 years of experience in .NET development, he's worked across industries as an engineer, coach, and now developer advocate. His current focus is on developer experience: building SDKs, writing approachable technical content, and speaking at conferences around the world. **Jenny Martin: OOPSI: Making Sense of Complexity** OOPSI stands for outcomes, outputs, process, scenarios, inputs. It’s a flexible, easy-to-use collaboration framework that helps agile and product development teams cut through complexity and focus on value. OOPSI is timely because it maximises the intrinsically human aspects of effective delivery, helping teams understand how and when to collaborate, while producing lean, example-driven artefacts that clarify scope and intent so both people and automation can work more effectively. In this talk, you’ll learn how to apply OOPSI to strengthen shared understanding, clarify assumptions, and support testable delivery, using a detailed, end-to-end example. **Jenny Martin** is a practitioner, facilitator, and product discovery specialist with over 25 years’ experience working at the intersection of technology, delivery, and human behaviour. She has spent more than 15 years working with Agile and modern product development teams, helping them make sense of complexity and build shared understanding. Known as The Collaboration Coach, Jenny focuses on practical collaboration that supports effective delivery. She is currently writing a book on OOPSI.

Sahaja Yoga Meditation meetings have gone online to reflect our commitment to the benevolence and wellbeing of our participants. We will be hosting Online meetings locally in the coming weeks & you'll see those events go live soon. In the meantime: You are invited to learn meditation via one of our free online platforms @ - http://www.wemeditate.co/live Monday to Friday Online Guided Meditations @ 7pm daily Want to experience it now – Experience Self Realisation now – Guided Meditation (https://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/articles/experience-your-self-realisation-online-now/) Achieve Yoga & enter into a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. We are all volunteers of a Charity organisation and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous. The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK. The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga! Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, reduce stress and increase wellness and health holistically. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it. Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for peace and self awakening. All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through simple meditation techniques, often with guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being.

**Read this before you RSVP.** This workshop is for a **very specific type of person.** You are a **non-native professional in London.** You can do your job in English. You can join meetings, present slides, speak to clients. But when it really matters - **presenting to senior leadership, negotiating with clients, interviewing for a promotion, speaking to investors** \- you know your English does not sound as **clear, confident or natural** as you want. In your native language you feel **sharp, credible and relaxed.** In English you sometimes feel **flatter, more tense and less convincing.** You might notice that: * You have to repeat yourself in important meetings. * People interrupt you or talk over you. * You slow down or overthink your words when you are under pressure. * You worry that your **accent, pronunciation or rhythm** makes you sound **less senior** than your actual level. If that sounds like you, **this workshop is for you.** I'm Michael Roberts. I grew up with a **speech impediment in English**, so I know what it is like to be judged on how you sound instead of what you mean. After fixing it and learning multiple languages, I created the **British Accent Method** to help non-native professionals and pilots speak **clear, confident English in high-stakes situations.** This is **not** a general English class. It is not about more grammar or more vocabulary. It is a **practical, focused session** where you will: * **See** how your current pronunciation and rhythm affect your credibility when you speak English. * **Hear** which sounds, weak forms and stress patterns make your English harder to follow in fast meetings and presentations. * **Discover** how native speakers use English rhythm to sound natural and in control, and how you can copy that **without losing your identity.** * **Practise real phrases from your professional life** with live feedback. We'll look at situations like: * Presenting to **senior leadership or a board.** * Explaining complex ideas to **non-technical stakeholders.** * Handling **difficult questions** in English. * Introducing yourself and your work in a way that sounds **confident, not rehearsed.** You will leave this workshop with: * A **clear understanding** of what in your current pronunciation and rhythm is holding you back in high-stakes situations. * **Two or three specific changes** you can start using immediately to sound clearer and more senior. * A **simple plan** to keep improving after the event. This workshop is for non-native professionals in London in fields such as **finance, consulting, tech, law, medicine, engineering, academia and entrepreneurship.** If you already speak English well, but you know that **how you sound is not yet matching your level of expertise, this is for you.** If you only want free general English practice or casual conversation, **this is not the right event.** **Format:** * Small group. * Short teaching sections. * Live examples and practice. * Time for questions about your specific situations. If you read this and thought **'this is exactly my problem'**, reserve your place and I will see you there.
