Join & Play! June 18
Our traditional "Join & Play" event is on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month. As always, it's free to come & play with us.
How does it work ?
• The events are open for beginner to advanced gamers. If you're new here they're the perfect gateway to discover what we do!
• Those who want to host a game are asked to share in the comments below which game, & for how many players you can run your table.
• For others, if you see a game you'd like to join just respond to the host in the comments below and we'll reserve a spot for that game for you.
• Don't worry if you're new to boardgames or simply don't know the games being hosted this time around; you can simply show up and the event host will sort out a spot at a table for you! *But please make sure to arrive by 19h30* at the latest *so we can take the time to find you a suitable spot.*
• The rules for the games will be explained by the table host before the game starts. No need to study them upfront, although several hosts post a video link to rules or background which can enhance your enjoyment of the game if you have the time to watch beforehand. This is never mandatory, however.

**Science & Cocktails #46**
**Andy Strominger**
The idea is to explore the more alternative art scene of Brussels.
We’ll kick things off with a cozy Thursday evening event:
Cocktail in hand and surrounded by friends, we’ll experience a live science experiment designed to spark some philosophical thoughts — followed by a concert if you feel like sticking around a bit longer.

**Adventures with Black Holes: Past, Present and Future**
A talk by Andrew Strominger
Dr. Andrew Strominger received his PhD from MIT in 1981, and held a postdoctoral position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton:
What is gravity? Are black holes cosmic vacuum cleaners… or the universe’s deepest mystery boxes? Can information really disappear forever, or are black holes hiding secrets we’re just starting to decode? What did we actually see when we “photographed” a black hole and listened to spacetime ring? Are black holes a dead end for understanding the universe… or the key to its future?
Followed by concert:
**🎸Tokyo Witch (be)**
Tokyo Witch is the solo ambient project of Losine's ilena Lacroix. From this secret faraway witchcraft treehouse
lab arise some distant, dark echoes of what's way too intimate to be brought to daylight. Whispers about deep-buried sensations and experiences guide these raveled guitar and synth-based dreams marbled with nightmare.

Summer Solstice Immersive Breathwork Journey
About Event
**The Calling** 🐦🔥
The longest day reminds us of a truth the body already knows: light always returns.
But before the sun rises again, we have to sit with what burns within us.
The fire we've been trained to tame.
The rays we've learned to dim.
The layers that no longer serve.
This summer solstice, we're gathering to meet those flames. Not to extinguish them, but to know them.
To ask:
* What fire in me have I been trained to suppress?
* Which rays am I ready to shine more brightly outwards?
* Which layers can be burned away to create room for transformation?
And like the sun, we move through cycles.
Night comes.
The dark stretches long.
And still, the sun rises again, shining outward and full of life.
**The Immersive Experience 🪐**
Through Expanded States Breathwork, a trauma-informed method that uses conscious connected breath, we access the body's own healing intelligence.
The breath is the door to the subconscious; presence is the key.
Your body holds intelligence your mind doesn't have access to.
Healing intelligence. Creative intelligence.
The kind that knows how to move through fire without burning.
We're gathering at the summer solstice. A turning point, a moment of full light.
Alongside an intimate group of courageous souls, we are unlocking this together.

Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
How do we connect to people? What is so great about being different? Is love selfless? Should we be dreamers or realists? What values are we losing? When are we at our best? Does childhood ever end? Is morality a matter of convenience? What makes a person beautiful?
Such questions, and many more, await you Sunday at Sister's Cafe (second floor) . After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations :-).

And then, Rob Richardson will present:
### **GitOps: Easy Deploy and Even Easier Rollback**
GitOps isn't just for containers. The methodology of deploying from a build is now baked into our culture. Take it a touch farther with infrastructure as code and a few extra techniques, and you can reliably deploy to any platform: cloud, on-prem, container, PaaS, and more. Join us as we learn the methodology of GitOps, the critical pieces you need in place, and the elegance of rollbacks with GitOps. You'll leave with a working repo of deployment techniques that doesn't consume any paid tools or container-specific techniques.
**Important:** To participate fully, please RSVP in **both** places:

**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
