Welcome back to the **dbt meetup Athens**--our second event and first for 2026. We’re excited to kick off the year with another community gathering, hosted once again at the **Kaizen Campus**. After our first meetup, where the organizers introduced themselves and shared how dbt is used across their companies, we’re switching perspectives. This time, we’re thrilled to welcome **Cormac Buckley (Senior Customer Solutions Architect)** and **Peter Jehl (Solution Architect)** from **dbt Labs** for a session we’ve been eagerly anticipating ourselves. Cormac and Peter will dive into **MCP Servers with dbt** and the **dbt Fusion engine**—but that’s not where it ends. The second half of the event will be a live **Ask Me Anything** session, giving the Greek dbt community a rare chance to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and get insights directly from the experts. Come for the talks, stay for the community. We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and continuing to grow the dbt community in Athens. 👀 See you there! *** dbt Meetups are networking events open to all folks working with data!

We are happy to announce our next meetup that will be held physically at [XM](https://www.xm.com/), in Athens. After the talk there will be time for Q&A, food and networking. **📍 Location 📍** Michalakopoulou 80 street, 1st floor. Attendees should register with their meetup name at the entrance **⏰ Date & Time ⏰** 12th of February, 19:00 **🔗 Prerequisites & Target audience 🔗** The talk is aimed at developers who are interested in C++. **🇬🇷 Language 🇬🇧** The talk will be in Greek unless there are non-Greek speakers in the audience. **🍀 JetBrains license ruffle 🍀** At the end of the event we will ruffle out 2 yearly licenses for a JetBrains IDE. **📃 Agenda 📃** 19:00 - "Intro, Agenda of meetup" by Dimitris Platis 19:05 - A message from our sponsor - XM 19:10 - "From RAII to Substructural Types and Beyond" by Iosif Arvanitis 20:10 - Pizza, kindly offered by XM 🍕 **🎤 About the talk 🎤** In modern C++ resource management, RAII and move semantics have become ubiquitous. In this talk, we will take a closer look at the underlying mechanisms underpinning the advantages of using these features, and the theory that formalizes them. We will then discuss the powerful implications of the theory and how it influences the wider programming language world. We will move beyond the basics of RAII to explore: \- A primer on substructural types \(affine\, linear\, etc\) \- Connecting substructural types with C\+\+ concepts \(e\.g\. \`unique_ptr\`\) \- Substructural "superpowers": race freedom\, static guarantees and more Under this framework, modern C++ developers can better grasp new language features, design safer APIs, and appreciate influential patterns from other programming languages. **🎤 About the speaker 🎤** Iosif Arvanitis is a Computer Engineering undergraduate at the University of Patras, with a focus on systems programming, concurrent-distributed systems and programming languages. He is currently active in academic research, as well as web development projects.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place? And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance? We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from. Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime. You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll. In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on. Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Is doing good really its own reward? To look around the world and see wrongdoing, injustice, and seemingly-gotten-away-with crime, people have often wondered whether or not it is "worth it" to do the right thing. These are not new questions--going back at least 3,000 years, human beings have wrestled with such questions, and the Psalmist, ca. 1,000 BC, sought such answers as well. He came to the conclusion that there was, indeed, an answer, and one that brought hope: God sees, God knows, and God will not allow evil to triumph, nor will He allow the wicked to escape justice. In addition to God's justice, He also promises mercy and blessing to those who humble themselves and follow Him. Psalm 1 and 2 address the underlying concerns of both of these questions--will wrong one day be righted, and is it worth it to do right, in spite of so much evil--with a resounding, "Yes, indeed!" Doing rightly is always good and *will* be blessed. Doing wrongly is always wrong, and those who think they have "gotten away with it" will one day understand the truth: God will not be mocked, and justice *will* prevail. Come join us, **6:30 pm, Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**, and be encouraged by ancient truth that is still vitally essential today!

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
