Hey Community, **Important:** Please register via the external link (not only on Meetup), as seats are limited due to room capacity. ⇒ **[Link to register for the meetup](https://techtalk.at/answering-questions-with-stories-with-alistair-cockburn/)**[!](https://techtalk.at/answering-questions-with-stories-with-alistair-cockburn/) What happens when one of the co-authors of the Agile Manifesto doesn’t give a talk — but answers your questions with stories? Join us for an interactive, Q&A-driven evening with **[Alistair Cockburn](https://training.techtalk.at/trainer-in/dr-alistair-cockburn/)**. Instead of slides or prepared lectures, Alistair responds to your questions with real stories from decades of working in complex environments — often detailed, sometimes unexpected, occasionally humorous — but always insightful. Stories convey more than opinions. They reveal context, trade-offs, and real decisions. So bring your questions: * About agile beyond frameworks * About architecture and incremental development * About leadership and collaboration * About AI and modern delivery * Or anything else you’ve always wanted to ask In this session, Alistair’s only rule is simple: He answers with a story — not a theory. **Agenda** 🕡 **18:00** – Doors open at TechTalk 🕕 **18:15** – Intro & "*Answering Questions with Stories"* 🕗 **19:30** – 🍕Food & 🍻Drinks sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/) 🎉 If you’re curious, reflective, or just enjoy thoughtful discussions — this evening is for you. Cheers, Milena ***

**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.** In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good conversation and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy. Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds. **At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics range from the political, to the "slice of life", to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com. Food will be provided for free. For those who wish to provide a donation to help fund BreadBreakers, you can [give here](https://pushpay.com/g/restorationrestonumc?fnd=pO6G-N7oO7FH7Mp1u-x6mA&fndv=Lock&r=No&lang=en&src=pcgl) or at the event. We'll have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. If you have any additional dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease, vegan, etc.) please let us know at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com so that we can implement the appropriate food handling procedures. **Join us, invite a friend, and be a part of the movement to mend our fractured society and normalize a better way of talking with one another.** BreadBreakers, an initiative by [Restoration United Methodist Church](https://restorationreston.org/breadbreakers) in Reston, VA, is a religiously inclusive community. We are a collaboration between people of all faiths and stripes. Our leadership, volunteer team, and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.

🌿☀️ You’re invited: Sunrise with Jesus on May 30th! Ladies! I want to personally invite you to something I’m really looking forward to.

This is a simple, relaxed morning created for women who want: * a peaceful start to their weekend * a chance to meet other local women * encouragement in their faith * space to slow down and breathe We’ll have coffee + pastries, a short encouraging message from Scripture, time to journal, and prayer—but most importantly, it’s about connection and community, not anything formal or intimidating. 💛 You do NOT need to know anyone to come. A few women are already signed up, and we’d truly love to have you join us.
