Ready for our Product Tank BCN March edition? 🚀 **AI Changed How We Build Product. But Nobody's Talking About What It's Doing to Us.** Two talks. Two sides of the same coin. 🎤 **[Emma Sesmero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-sesmero/), VP of Product @ Factorial** has a large product organization and they've been rethinking how their teams work with AI. Not as an experiment, but as a real shift in their day-to-day. Emma will share what actually changed: how they've adapted their product ways of working, what's working, and what they've learned along the way. 🎤 **[Kax Uson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaxuson/), Leadership & Career Coach** The pressure to adopt AI, the shifting expectations, the constant feeling that you're falling behind — it's accelerating burnout across product teams. Kax will talk about how to recognize it, manage it, and build sustainable ways of working when everything around you is changing. One talk about how AI is transforming the work. One about how to make sure the work doesn't break you. 📍 **Location:** Factorial HQ - Carrer de la Llacuna, 56, Building C ("All Hands" room) 🕒 **Time:** Doors open at 6:30 PM \| Event starts at 6:45 PM 🎟 **RSVP –** Important Note: * Your RSVP matters!

Meet and mingle with elixir devs over a beer, wine or water. The last couple of meetings involved drinking lots of wine and sharing tapas. As folk left they just paid what they felt was right. This system is working well thus far so we will look to continue using it, till it breaks :)

*** **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 ***NOTE: Line-up update!!*** *** 📅 **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** Rats in my pipeline! The never-ending story of supply chain attacks * **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: Rats in my pipeline! The never-ending story of supply chain attacks** * **Speaker**: Davinci Lisapaly * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About:** I'm a software engineer turned security engineer. I ensured product teams are shipping secure code without blocking them. Also, have a curse for incidents happening while walking my dog. * **Abstract:** In the day and age of micro services, every 10 lines of code have their own pipeline. Not only is it a challenge from a reliability perspective, but also within the security domain. Most of the code we ship isn't even ours. How do we make sure that the code is safe? How do we make sure we can trust the dependencies we import? How do we prevent RATs from slipping into our production environments and stealing all our cheesy secrets and tokens? This presentation will explain, through real-world supply chain incidents, what these rats are and how we can detect and prevent them from even entering our pipelines. *** 🏢 **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.

La propuesta de esta actividad es participar en una visita comentada a La Fabra Centre d'Art Contemporani, y a las dos exposiciones temporales que se celebran actualmente en el centro situado en la Fábrica de Creació Fabra i Coats. La primera exposición que se visitará es *“Como piedras en las manos, ascuas y llamas”,* la muestra, comisariada por Chiara Cartuccia, reúne las obras de cuatro artistas internacionales que exploran el entrelazamiento entre los procesos de ruina y las historias de resistencia en las culturas del mediterráneo. Artistas: Marianne Fahmy ( Alejandría , 1992), Joyce Joumaa (Beirut, 1998), Huda Takriti (Damasco, 1990) y Hasan Özgür Top (Ankara, 1987). La segunda exposición que visitaremos es *LALIRIO,* comisariada por Claudia Elies, directora del centro. En la muestra se presentan tres instalaciones del dúo andaluz Fuentesal Arenilla que tienen como hilo conductor diversas piezas textiles de gran formato que, al igual que la flor de un lirio de mar, son capaces de cambiar sin perder su forma original.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

**New Dojo Location!** **Knotty Pine Brewing** 1765 W 3rd Ave, Columbus, OH 43212 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
