### ¿Qué son las constelaciones familiares? Una constelación familiar es un método que nos permite dilucidar esos eventos que han podido causar un impacto profundo, a partir del cual, la armonía familiar se ha visto perturbada, estas dificultades pueden ser tanto de convivencia, de salud, de profesión, de pareja, etc. y sobre las cuales no se tiene control. A través de la puesta en escena que nos permite la constelación podemos tomar conciencia del origen del conflicto. Recreando la organización de la familia, o de cualquier otro sistema, las relaciones dentro del mismo se hacen visibles y con ellas las causas que han generado el conflicto pueden aclararse. Los participantes observaron como las dinámicas no resultaron les han estado aparecido, a veces, desde la infancia. Esa visualización y las propuestas de reparación por el terapeuta, rescatan al “paciente” de la culpa y le permiten recrear una nueva y liberadora imagen de solución. ### ¿Cómo puedo hacer mi constelación familiar? Hay dos formas de participar en este taller: 1. Como participar (que muestra los patrones inconscientes para el “paciente”) 2. Como “paciente” que recibe la Constela 3. Participar 20€ 4. Constelar 100€

*** **Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On March 26, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[Mews](https://developers.mews.com)**! 📍 **Location**: Cloudworks, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 613, 9th Floor. Check in at the ground floor entrance *** 📅 **Agenda** * **19:00 - 19:15** Welcome from the hosts * **19:15 - 20:00** DevOps in Space: Lessons from Low Earth Orbit * **20:00 - 20:45** FinOps from the Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost * **20:45 - 22:30** Networking & Snacks *** 🎤 **Talks & Speakers** * **Title: DevOps in Space: Lessons from Low Earth Orbit** * **Speaker**: **David Jacovkis** * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About:** I started as a sysadmin when workloads ran on bare metal, and Devs were the enemies of Ops. The industry changed, and we changed with it, but at the end of the day, we're still the ones who receive an alert when things stop working. * **Abstract**: Remember when you knew all your servers by name and deployed changes with a single SSH command? Now imagine doing that when your link comes in 10-minute windows every few hours, and bandwidth is a precious commodity measured in kbps. Welcome to DevOps in Space. At Sateliot, our Infrastructure & Software Engineering team works at the intersection of aerospace, telecommunications and software. We build modern distributed systems and then send them to an environment where normal expectations -low latency, immediate feedback, up-to-date systems- simply don’t apply. In this talk I’ll give a high-level tour of the challenges that make space and telco different: intermittent and low-bandwidth connectivity, long feedback loops, constrained devices, and the cultural gaps between aerospace, telco and software teams. I'll also share some adaptations that allow us to apply some of the DevOps processes and tools that have become industry standards. *** * **Title: FinOps from the Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost** * **Speaker**: Julia Lamenza * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About:** Julia is an SRE with 15 years of Linux experience. Obsessed with automation, uptime, and catching flights more than outages * **Abstract**: In many engineering teams, cloud costs are still a surprise that shows up at the end of the month. Infrastructure gets deployed with Terraform, services scale automatically — and only when the bill arrives does someone ask: why are we paying so much? That's where FinOps comes in. *** 🏢 **About our host** **Mews** has been on a mission to build technology that puts people back at the heart of hospitality. Meet their R&D team on [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/company/mewsrnd) or directly on [developers.mews.com](https://developers.mews.com). *** 🔑 **Important Access Note:** Doors open at **18:45**. Please make sure to check in at the **ground floor entrance** upon arrival.
