Αγαπητοί UXers, Ελπίζω όλοι να είστε καλά! Μετά από ένα διάστημα απουσίας (έτσι για να σας λείψουμε) ήρθε η ώρα να ξαναβρεθούμε. Ανακοινώνω το επόμενο UX meetup της κοινότητάς μας το οποίο θα είναι δια ζώσης και αυτή τη φορά έχουμε τη χαρά να φιλοξενηθούμε από τη Epignosis. H εταιρία (ένα ελληνικό και πραγματικό success story) έχει καταφέρει να είναι από τις μεγαλύτερες παγκοσμίως στο ιδιαίτερα ανταγωνιστικό industry του e-learning. Το meetup περιλαμβάνει ως συνήθως μια κεντρική ομιλία σχετικά με UX πρακτικές, μεθόδους και διαδικασίες. Πιο συγκεκριμένα η εν λόγω ομιλία αφορά σε θέματα συμπεριληπτικής σχεδίασης και ψηφιακής προσβασιμότητας της πλατφόρμας TalentLMS. Η agenda έχει ως εξής: 1\. 19\.00 \- 19\.05: Ένα πολύ σύντομο introduction για το meetup 2\. 19\.05\- 19\.45: "From Inaccessible to Inclusive: Our Team’s Accessibility Journey\.” \- Αλέξανδρος Αντωνιάδης\, Lead Frontend Engineer\, Epignosis\. 3\. 19\.45\-20\.30: Q & A \+ networking H προσέλευση είναι στις 18.30 - 19.00 και όπως πάντα μετά την ομιλία θα έχουμε χρόνο Q&Α και φυσικά για networking, snacks & drinks! Θα τα πούμε από κοντά στις 25 Φεβρουαρίου! Παναγιώτης

**New Dojo Location!** **Draft Day Columbus** 1130 Dublin Road Columbus, OH 43215 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)

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
