Solo travellers: casual hang out in Buenos Aires (4pm)
**No pressure, no planâjust new friends â¨**
Whether youâre visiting Buenos Aires for the first time, recently relocated, or simply love connecting with curious people, this weekly meetup is the perfect way to share stories, make friends, and go explore, as a group, the magic that Buenos Aires has to offer đŚđˇ
**What to expect?**

* **Open to everyone:** whether you are a local, an expat or just passing through for a few days, you are welcome to join. (English is the primary language, but feel free to switch of course)
**How to talk with strangers?**
(and create meaningful connections)
To help you get started, I curated a little game of **[ridiculously good questions](https://www.pierrebonvalot.com/theblog?p=285a9711d7df80d5ac25dd4ef8fe5394&pm=c)** you can ask to break the ice, shift the conversation from dull to intriguing and fun, and eventually create meaningful connection quickly.
I hope this helps!
**The only things you need to do areâŚ**
⢠Leave a message in the comment section to let the others know that you will actually be there (I donât want you to end up alone there :)
⢠If you canât make it anymore, no problem! But please update your RSVP to let the others know
⢠Please be gentle and patient with each other. We all want to make good friends here.
**Why join?**
* Meet open-minded travellers and locals who are keen to connect, learn and have fun together.
* Experience Buenos Aires... as a group.
* Be part of a global community that celebrates solo travelling and meaningful connections between foreign and locals.
**How does it works?**
1. Arrive at the meeting spot at the scheduled time.
2. Look for other joinersâfriendly faces and curious explorers.
3. Introduce yourself, connect with others, and decide as a group where to go.
**When & where?**
* Day: every Sunday
* Time: 4:00 PM (meetup sometimes displays a different time zone: but itâs always 4pm local time)
* Location: in Plaza Italia (in Palermo), in front of the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi.
**Hostless**: I am setting up the event for you all to meet, but I won't be there myself this time :)
**Hi my names is Pierre**
I created this Meetup group because I want to see more human connection happen in the real world. I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit.
I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives.

Make Friends, Not Small Talk: Deep talks, Coffee, and Good Vibesâ¨
đŞđ¸EspaĂąol Abajo đ
**âď¸ Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee âď¸**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
**đš What to expect?**
âď¸ Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
âď¸ Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
âď¸ Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zoneâwithout feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
đ **Where?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
đ° **How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but theyâre worth every cent).

**âď¸Coffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son MĂĄs Fuertes que el CafĂŠâď¸**
Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incĂłmodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. AquĂ venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueĂąos, las crisis existenciales y por quĂŠ seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas.
**đš ÂżQuĂŠ puedes esperar?**
âď¸ Preguntas que te harĂĄn pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos).
âď¸ Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del trĂĄfico.
âď¸ DinĂĄmicas interactivas que te sacarĂĄn de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo.
Si estĂĄs listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con cafĂŠ en mano y un toque de humor sarcĂĄstico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez).
đ **ÂżDĂłnde?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (porque el cafĂŠ sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeĂna desperdiciada).
đ° **ÂżCuĂĄnto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sĂ, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo).

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, weâll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. Weâll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.

Columbus HUG January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) â Through Minecraft đŽâď¸
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS Ă Columbus HashiCorp User Group**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didnât 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** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| âThe Azure Terraformerâ\) 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 serversâwhile teaching the same patterns youâd use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What weâll 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 requiredâjust curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. đ§ąâĄď¸đ

Introduction to SQL Server 2025: Whatâs New, What Matters, and Some AI Too
SQL Server 2025 delivers a major round of improvements across performance, security, manageability, and hybrid connectivity, and this session gives you a practical, noânonsense tour of what matters most. Weâll cover enhancements to the core engine, query processing, storage, and availability that benefit DBAs and developers regardless of where SQL Server runs. Youâll see how SQL Server 2025 aligns with Azure SQLâs roadmap while still supporting strong onâpremises and VMâbased deployments. Weâll highlight new management, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities designed to simplify operations and reduce firefighting. AIâpowered features exist in this release, but the focus here is on the foundational improvements you can use immediately. Whether youâre modernizing, maintaining, or planning your next upgrade cycle, this session will help you understand whatâs new and how to prepare your environment and your team.
Privacy Components That Should Actually Matter to Development Teams
**Format**:
Hybrid (in-person and online) event
**In-person location**:
**Security Compass**
325 Front Street West, Unit 103
Toronto, ON
M5V 2Y1
**Note:** In-person attendance is limited to **70 people**, in a **first-come, first-serve basis**.
Doors will open at **6:00 PM**, with the event will start at **6:30 PM** (ET).
For those who cannot attend in person, please join us virtually via the livestream!
**Presentation Title:**
**Privacy Components That Should Actually Matter to Development Teams**
Many teams expect that privacy is taken care of by the companyâs security program or addressed by the legal and compliance teams. Fact is, privacy is often lagging behind security when it comes to software development, and there are still obligations that need to make their way into the lifecycle. And, in many cases, devs never even see the obligations that exist on paper to clients!
In each business function of Governance, Design, Implementation, Verification, and Operations, there are privacy considerations that need to be made. The earlier you can get these considerations locked in, the more time it saves you later when thereâs an incident, a user exercising their rights, or simply scaling up!
\-\-\-
**This is a hybrid event!** You're welcome to join us online or in person. Thanks again to our wonderful sponsors at **Security Compass** for hosting us!
