We’re launching the Critical Futures Collective with Martin Heidegger’s *The Question Concerning Technology* — a short but profoundly influential essay that asks what technology *really* is beyond devices, apps, and machines. Heidegger argues that modern technology doesn’t just change the world around us; it changes how the world is revealed to us, and in turn how we understand ourselves. It’s a dense, provocative text that lays the groundwork for thinking about subjectivity, acceleration, and the pressures of the digital age — exactly the terrain this group will explore. We’ll approach it through close reading and shared inquiry, working passage by passage rather than offering summaries or lectures. The essay is compact enough to discuss in one meeting, but rich enough to merit a second. If the conversation demands it, we’ll happily continue in a follow-up session.

Welcome to a small Sunday brunch salon in my office—coffee, tea, water, shared food, and real conversation. This is a free-thinker circle, not a lecture and not a debate club. The goal is simple: meet thoughtful people, explore ideas, and leave feeling more alive (and less hungry). **How it works** • Max 8 guests (kept intentionally small) • Free entrance • I’ll provide coffee, tea, water, and some snacks • Everyone brings food to share • Everyone brings 1 question (a real one you’re genuinely curious about) • We will then randomise the order and each question will get minimum 15 minutes to discuss (depending on attendance). • We’ll end with quick takeaways + a vote on a theme for next time **What kinds of questions fit?** Anything that sparks honest discussion: philosophy, business, money & ethics, relationships, creativity, discipline, meaning, modern life—grounded, practical, and human. Vibe rules • Curiosity over ego • Share airtime (no monologues) • Disagree respectfully • No preaching / no “winning”

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/azure-cbus-2026/
