In early May, two of our Atlassian experts packed their bags and flew to California for Atlassian Team '26 - one of the biggest gatherings in the Atlassian ecosystem. Georgi and George spent several intense days in Anaheim, sitting through keynotes, joining partner sessions, hosting conversations, and talking to people from organizations across the world who are wrestling with the same questions we are. They're back now. And we thought the best way to share what they learned is an evening with beer and pizza. So what did they actually bring back? The biggest shift was a fundamental change in how Atlassian is positioning itself - not just as a suite of tools your team uses, but as the layer that makes your organizational knowledge usable by any AI system you're already working with. The data your teams have been building for years in Jira, Confluence, and JSM - the workflows, the ownership, the history - is now something external tools can actually access and act on.  On the AI side, Rovo moved well beyond being a smart assistant. The new direction is about AI that takes on real work: breaking down complex requests, executing multi-step tasks, and doing it in a way that stays visible and auditable. Non-technical people can now build automations by describing what they need in plain language. Engineers can ask questions across entire multi-repo codebases. And for the first time, organizations will be able to see exactly where their AI investment is going - and whether it's actually connected to anything strategic. Join us for an informal evening where we unpack all of it and what it means for the way we work.  Agenda --- Speakers Georgi Gachev - Nemetschek Bulgaria (Team Lead) Gogo is a software developer for almost 15 years and he had experience with all kinds of technologies including Java, .NET, Android, Javascript, Python and more. His passions include football, e-sports and travelling. George Stoyanov - Nemetschek Bulgaria George is an experienced professional in the field of software technologies for more than 20 years. Currently he is in charge of leading projects of Atlassian tools implementation, support, integrations and add-ons development in Nemetschek Bulgaria. For the last 5 years his deep technical knowledge and management skills have helped a number of organisations to get the most out of their Atlass… Moderators Velizar Borisov - MBition Sofia (Atlassian Community Champion) Boriana Todorova - Altassian Community Champion Hosted By Velizar Borisov, Atlassian Administrator Boriana Todorova, Community Leader I'm a senior technology leader with 20+ years of experience in quality assurance, process improvement, project delivery, and organizational transformation. I specialize in building high-performing teams, and bridging the gap between business goals and tech execution. My mission is simple: I help systems and people work better — starting with myself, and never stopping at “good enough.” I thrive where complexity meets urgency — whether it's redesigning inefficient workflows, elevating engineering culture, or aligning delivery with long-term value. I bring a strong foundation in internal auditing practices, ensuring that systems are not only efficient but also aligned with key compliance and quality standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 — without losing sight of the human side of work. I’ve also developed a strong interest in artificial intelligence — not just as a tool, but as a transformational force. I’m exploring how AI can enhance quality, automate the right parts of work, and help us build more adaptive, intelligent systems that serve both business and society responsibly. I believe the future of tech depends not just on innovation, but on responsibility, empathy, and structure that serves both people and planet.

Come and join us on Jun 18, 2026 for a dive into a topic that impacts everyone using Python. (**Important**: The event requires a mandatory registration) Everyone knows that there is no real multithreading in Python - or is there? The tradeoffs between processes and threads is well known. But what if we could have the best of both worlds? This is where subinterpreters come in. We will go over what subinterpreters are, how they work, and most importantly, how we can use them to make our code faster. We will also go deeper into Python’s internals and explore what a GIL-less Python looks like. The “freethreaded” builds of Python are easily accessible - but are there drawbacks? After that, we can have a quick chat and enjoy some drinks and pizza (provided by SiteGround) If this sounds interesting to you, make sure to sign up below: **Speaker bio:** Lyuboslav Karev has 6 years of experience with anything Python related - web development, automation, AI and Machine Learning. In his current role at SiteGround, he works on Coderick AI - an AI-powered coding platform, which allows its users to create and host sites, business tools, and apps. In his free time, he is part of the Python course in Sofia University. **Agenda:** 19:00 - 19:10: Opening & introduction 19:10 - 19:45: Subinterpreters & GIL-less Python 19:45 - 20:30: Networking with drinks and pizza (provided by SiteGround) **Place:** SiteGround HQ , 6 Olimpiyska st., Sofia **Parking:** available\*\*.\*\* **Directions:** [https://www.google.com/maps/place/g.k.+Sofia+parkMladost,+ul.+%22Olimpijska%22+6,+1766+Sofia/@42.6228344,23.3692001,3a,90y,270h,84.41t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sxcFgY8KOgVqqw7dZJ-Y70w!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D5.590685654068935%26panoid%3DxcFgY8KOgVqqw7dZJ-Y70w%26yaw%3D270!7i16384!8i8192!4m6!3m5!1s0x40aa813466d6ce39:0xb464d77033cdd740!8m2!3d42.6229584!4d23.3679717!16s%2Fg%2F11sjsgh0c6?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDMyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D](https://www.google.com/maps/place/g.k.+Sofia+parkMladost,+ul.+%22Olimpijska%22+6,+1766+Sofia/@42.6228344,23.3692001,3a,90y,270h,84.41t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sxcFgY8KOgVqqw7dZJ-Y70w!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D5.590685654068935%26panoid%3DxcFgY8KOgVqqw7dZJ-Y70w%26yaw%3D270!7i16384!8i8192!4m6!3m5!1s0x40aa813466d6ce39:0xb464d77033cdd740!8m2!3d42.6229584!4d23.3679717!16s%2Fg%2F11sjsgh0c6?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDMyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D)

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
