Struggling with study or learning? You’re not alone.
**Struggling with study or learning? You’re not alone.**
This meetup suits people at all levels of study skill.
Too many children, teenagers, and adults find studying difficult—not because they lack ability, but because they were never taught **how to learn**.
This meetup introduces the basics of **Study Technology**—a practical, proven approach that shows how learning really works and how to overcome common study barriers. It applies to children, teens (and parents), teachers, and adults alike.
You’ll discover simple, effective methods to improve understanding, confidence, and performance—whether at school, work, or online. Teachers and parents often see rapid improvements in both behaviour and results.
Yes, it *is* possible to improve study performance—in just **five easy steps**.
If you can’t attend in person, online options are available.
**Join us and learn how to study effectively—once and for all.**
See you at the meetup,
**Pam**
When learning clicks, confidence follows.

Inclusive Grief Circle: Honouring Loss Through Ceremony, Community & Creativity
Read reviews from past participants [here](https://www.greenhousecreativesanctuary.com/inclusivegrief)
“Grief has never been private, it has always been communal.
Subconsciously, we are awaiting the presence of others, before we can feel safe enough to drop to our knees on the holy ground of sorrow. For the most part, grief is not a problem to be solved, not a condition to be medicated, but a deep encounter with an essential experience of being human. Grief becomes problematic when the conditions needed to help us work with grief are absent.” - Francis Weller
Our primary association with grief is the loss of a loved one but there are so many kinds of losses that don't have formal ceremonies that are important to honour. Unprocessed grief can accumulate in weight, dulling our senses and capacity for aliveness.
This is a safe, supportive space for all shapes, sizes and textures of grief- for the loss of our loved ones, for the childhood we did not get to have, for the parts of ourselves that have been rejected and exiled, for friendships and relationships with ambiguous endings, for homes and communities we are distanced from and miss, for the suffering of the world and our fellow beings.
This inclusive grief circle is also an advocacy for compassionate and attentive grief work, for reshaping our understanding of and relationship with grief. It is a holding space, a container, a time and a deep permission to acknowledge our emotions, our connections, the ways we have been touched and transformed, and our humanity.
We will make art in response to the Artist Grief Deck, participate in a burning ritual, share and witness each other’s stories and journeys, and co-create a group nature mandala together.
**Please bring a jar and 8-10 similar natural objects (8 flowers or 8 sticks or 8 stones).**

SELF-CONFIDENCE! The key to your SUCCESS!
**Gain The Confidence to Be Unstoppable! Free Class.**
How to Achieve Self Confidence!
Without question, self confidence is the key to success. It determines how many of your goals you achieve in life and has an enormous impact on your happiness. It affects how people perceive you, your career achievements, your ability to take risks or try new endeavours, as well as your overall attitude toward yourself and others.
Self Confidence is something most people would like to have more of, but aren't sure how to get.
Did you ever feel more certain of yourself in the past?
Would you like to raise your self confidence ?
To increase self confidence, you have to understand what reduces it. If you know why this happens you can reverse the situation and rebuild your self esteem.
Self Confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's go the universe in his pocket. - L. Ron Hubbard.
This day you are able to Learn a few things about:
• The true source of security in life.
• How self-confidence, self respect and self trust interrelate, and what you can do to rehabilitate them.
• The exact steps to become more competent in whatever you do.
Today's free class will put you into a good position to help you achieve a new level of self-confidence, accomplish more and progress towards a higher level of personal survival.

Microsoft Build //localhost:melbourne
**Please Note:** you MUST Register at this link to attend - Space is limited. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27103/
This in-person event is built for developers and cloud engineers who want to design, build, and deploy real-world AI solutions on Azure. Expect a hands-on, implementation-focused experience using Microsoft Foundry and GitHub Copilot with live demos, guided labs, and practical developer workflows.
#### Speakers
**Randi Ratnayake - Beyond Prompts: Building Production-Grade AI with Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents**
Traditional AI agents are great for chat experiences, but enterprise applications often require much more than prompts and tools. Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents enable developers to build code-first, containerised agent applications while Azure handles hosting, scaling, identity, and operational concerns. In this session, we'll explore the evolution from traditional Foundry Agents to Hosted Agents, compare the classic and new Foundry experiences, and demonstrate how Hosted Agents enable production-grade orchestration, multi-agent systems, and enterprise integration patterns. Learn when Hosted Agents are the right choice and how they can accelerate your journey from AI prototype to enterprise solution.
**Dennis Vroegop - Engineering Agents that Reason, Act and Adapt**
In this hands-on lab, you will build an AI agent that reasons, acts, and adapts while navigating a mission-based challenge in San Francisco. Using Microsoft Agent Framework with Microsoft Foundry capabilities, you will progressively add Model Context Protocol tools, agent-to-agent collaboration, knowledge retrieval, and memory plus logging to create a production-ready agentic workflow.
**Bron Thulke - GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio: Agents That Debug, Profile, and Test**
Explore how GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio helps professional developers debug complex issues, analyze performance bottlenecks, and improve test workflows using agent-powered experiences. We'll cover real-world scenarios across C# and C++ apps, highlight new capabilities coming to GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio, and show how AI can become a trusted part of your inner-loop development process.
**Ahmed Muhi - The honest practitioner's take on agentic AI on Kubernetes**
Agentic AI workloads are stateful, bursty, and multi-step, and they often span infrastructure beyond a single cluster. This breakout focuses on what it actually takes to run AI at scale on Kubernetes while keeping systems operable, including practical patterns for serving, training, orchestration, and fleet operations.
**Stuart Dobson - One Package Away: Turning Azure Functions into AI Agent Tools with MCP**
If you're already running Azure Functions, you're closer to having a working MCP server than you think.
In this session, we'll explore how one NuGet package and a few attribute decorations turns your existing Azure Functions into MCP tools, callable by GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry agents, and any MCP-compatible client. No rewrite. No separate server. Your blob containers, Cosmos collections, and Service Bus queues stay exactly where they are - you're just adding a new trigger type that knows how to talk to agents.
This is a live demo session. By the end, you'll have seen a working Azure Function exposed as an MCP tool, and tested against GitHub Copilot in Agent mode.
**Danidu Weerasinghe - "Don't Just Migrate — Build a Migration Machine"**
Cloud migration demos usually show a one-off success. This session shows how to build a repeatable migration machine. Starting from a real AWS workload, we use GitHub Copilot Agents plus reusable Skills to automate discovery, architecture design, IaC transformation, code refactoring, pipeline generation, and validation. The key shift is from prompt-heavy, single-use agents to a skills-first model where migration knowledge is modular, versioned, and reusable across projects. You will see how this approach improves consistency, reduces rework, and turns migration from a hero effort into an engineering system your team can scale.
**Tama Waddell -** **Build, Ship & Run code-first Hosted Agents with Microsoft Foundry**
You've spent this year building out your agent harness for your coding projects. Some of you have gone further and started automating your own workflows, business processes and SDLC.
How do you build capable agents requires more than just an Agent.md file? How can I get my current harness into the cloud to run automatically. How do you orchestrate agents to talk to one another? How can I use tokens on the cloud rather than my own?
Microsoft foundry provides these capabilities through prompt agents and hosted agents. Hosted Agents are Microsoft Foundry's code-first solution for agentic AI.
Come join Tama as he shares how to get your own fully capable agent deployed into the cloud as a hosted agent. How to build them, ship them and run them so you can automate business workflows for yourself, your team or the company.
Are you ready for the next generation of agents?
**AJ Bajada - Roll for Vibes**
In Roll for Vibes, I take you on a fast and fun 20 minute journey through how I vibe coded a full companion app for a tabletop RPG in just one day. No grand plan, no prophecy from the DM, just pure instinct and a willingness to let the dice (and the code) fall where they may.
I will show how that single day sprint created a character builder and a chat agent that helps players navigate rules, lore, and those classic moments of “wait, can I actually do that,” all connected to Foundry agents.
It is a real world example of how vibe coding, when done correctly instead of chaotically neutral, can solve real problems and bring a tabletop world to life with surprising speed and style.
**James Westall & Akanksha Malik - Cooking up a special LAB (Watch this space)**

MEL MLOps Community #18 | Data, Decision and Agentic AI Productivity Paradox
We are stoked to announce our next **Melbourne MLOps Community Meetup** of the year!
We are bringing you an absolute powerhouse lineup featuring two industry heavyweights. We will dive deep into tracking ML/DS performance using high-impact business metrics over raw statistical metrics. We will also tackle the AI coding productivity paradox and the high-stakes build-vs-buy SaaS dilemma.
**🎤 Speakers**
We’re thrilled to introduce:
**\- Nathanael Lampe**, Machine Learning Manager *at* Bunnings Warehouse. Nat is widely recognised as one of the most brilliant, deeply technical data science leaders. He brings an elite background in advanced data science, now driving the core Data Science team at Bunnings. In his talk, *Data & Decisions,* Nat will explain how in ML, we often focus on model accuracy but it’s a lot harder to measure the decisions a model supports. When we can anchor our ML practice in true business metrics, we are better equipped to ensure analytics projects succeed.
**\- Javier Candeira**, Fractional CTO *at* Infoplumbing.
Javier is a distinguished veteran of the data, software, and tech consultancy scenes. He brings many years of battle-tested technical and business experience to guiding teams through today's volatile AI landscape.
His talk titled: *The Buy/Build Dilemma and the Agentic Productivity Paradox* addresses three red-hot issues in the MLOps community:
1\. Local LLM inference and tooling for small scale teams\. What is too much local MLOps for a 1\-5 person shop? Is local inference only a cost saver\, or are there also capabilies unlocked by the finer\-grained control afforded by operating one’s own models?
2\. The Buy/Build dilemma\. This is a question for every company\, from small SaaS to big corporate\. The abundance of LLM coding tools shifts the balance\. How?
3\. The Productivity Paradox: If Agentic Coding and LLM autocomplete are so great\, where are the great new products? Where’s the programmer productivity going?
Javier will showcase some of his NixOS-based MLOps-for-one tools, and will attempt to progress the conversation on these three questions with his own reflections based on personal experience.
**Networking**
The Melbourne MLOps Community is committed to fostering a space where AI/ML engineers and practitioners can connect, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships.
Come ready to discuss:
* The tools you’re experimenting with
* Trends you’re seeing in ML and MLOps
* Challenges you’re tackling
* Ways to find peer support
We’ll have food, drinks, and the perfect space for great conversations — so feel free to bring along anyone interested in ML, MLOps, or AI more broadly.
**Agenda**
🍕 **5:30pm** – Networking, drinks & food
🙋 **6:00pm** – Welcome
🎤 **6:10pm** – Presentation by Nathanael
❓ **6:30pm** – Questions for Nathanael
🎤 **6:40pm** – Presentation by Javier

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Unity GameDev Hangout (Topic TBD)
*We'll update this with the specific topic(s) once they're set for the month.*

* Input System, localization, responsive UI
* AI integration approaches
* DevOps & LiveOps experiences
* Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing
* Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems
* Weird Unity quirks we've all run into
Nothing is locked in. Bring a project if you'd like, bring a question, bring a lesson learned — or just come hang out and meet other developers.
All skill levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.

(Cross-Posting) From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity
Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/
=======================================
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Food and drinks will be available.
