CTF-y z Hakierspejsem
Spotkania z serii wymiany wiedzy podczas wspólnego rozwiązywania zadań CTF – jest to świetna zabawa pozwalająca równocześnie rozwinąć wiedzę w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa. Poziom trudności CTF-owego zadania ustalimy na początku spotkania. Najprawdopodobniej wybierzemy coś z platformy Hack The Box. Spotykamy się **co tydzień w środę o 19:00.**

Zen w Hackierspejsie
Zapraszamy na trzy dwudziestopięciominutowe rundy medytacji, w trakcie których będzie okazja doświadczyć swojej pełnej obecności w tym-co-jest z-chwili-na-chwilę.
Rundy rozpoczynamy o 18:30, 19:00 i 19:30 - można dołączyć do dowolnej z nich lub odłączyć się w trakcie przerw pomiędzy nimi. Prosimy o przyjście chwilę przed rozpoczęciem rundy, ponieważ startujemy punktualnie.
Medytacje odbywają się w każdy czwartek na ul. Zielonej 30 w Łodzi w lokalu HSŁ w głębi bramy. Przy bramie prosimy dzwonić pod numer: 42 203 20 50.
Spotkania są otwarte i wszyscy są mile widzani. Jeżeli chcesz zobaczyć, czy medytacja to coś dla Ciebie, temat jakoś z Tobą rezonuje, a może już praktykujesz, przychodź!
Zorganizujemy coś, na czym można usiąść, ale dobrze jest wziąć ze sobą swoją poduszkę do siedzenia lub matę.
Do zobaczenia!
Hakierspejs Jam Session
Zapraszamy wszystkich zainteresowanych muzyką i syntezatorami na codwutygodniowy jam session w naszym spejsie. Umiejętności muzyczne nie wymagane! Mile widziane przyniesienie własnego sprzętu, ale jak nie masz, to też znajdziejsz coś do robienia (będzie dobrze).
Jeżeli masz problem z wejściem, zadzwoń domofonem przy bramie od ulicy na nr 100, zadzwoń telefonem na 42-203-20-50 albo wejdź na naszego chata (patrz poniżej).

Planszówkowanie w Hakierspejsie
Zapraszamy na kolejne spotkanie planszówkowe!
Mamy parę gier w spejsie, ale zachęcam przynieść również własne gry! Chętnie zagramy w coś nowego. Jest też miejsce na zostawienie gier na jakiś czas w spejsie, żeby nie musieć ich targać tutaj co tydzień.

**ABSTRACT**
*Mastering Power BI Model Types - Import, DirectQuery, or Composite?* - **Gregor Prohaska**
Whenever you start a new Power BI project, you must choose the right model type — a decision that shapes all the work that follows.
This session explores the world of Power BI model types, focusing on the differences between Import, DirectQuery, and Composite models. We examine the limitations, advantages, and requirements of each model to provide a clear decision guideline for when to use each one.
This session aims Power BI developers, data analysts, BI architects, and anyone interested in maximizing the efficiency and flexibility of their Power BI solutions.
By the end of this session, atttendees will
* know the main differences between Import, DirectQuery and Composit models
* be able to choose (wisely) the right model for a given task
* understand the impact on report design, user experience and governance
If you want to avoid classic model type mishaps, this session is for you. Make your users (and database admins) happy and choose wisely!

Friday night social: Let's go to scene 75!
We’re heading back to Scene75 on Friday, March 27 for a high-energy night of laser tag, mini golf, go-karts, arcade games, and whatever chaos we decide to get into.
We’ve done this one before and it was a blast — great turnout, tons of laughs, and just the right mix of competition and hanging out. If you missed it last time, this is your shot.
🎯 What to Expect:
Laser tag battles
Mini golf challenges
Go-karts (for those who need speed)
Arcade games & game cards
You can load however much you’d like onto a game card. Most people will probably be good with $15–$30, but it’s totally up to you.
This is a super casual event — show up, jump into whatever looks fun, rotate groups, and hang out. No pressure, no complicated structure. Just a solid Friday night with good people.
Also… I haven’t hosted in a bit and I’m making a push to be more active again. If you’ve got ideas for future events you’d love to do, bring them. I’m all ears.
Let’s run it back. 🔥
March Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._**
The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖
Morning people unite!! 🐤 ☕ + 💬 @ Crimson Cup Coffee Shop - Clintonville
Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Crimson Cup Coffee Shop - Clintonville](https://www.crimsoncup.com/about/location/clintonville)!
French conversation club
Bienvenue! Columbus French Conversation group invites you to our Saturday morning French conversation club. Expect a casual and welcoming atmosphere in which to learn french! I will bring my laptop so we can look up new vocabulary as needed! The venue is a beautiful French restaurant so you can really get into the zone :)
Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
