We're all here to learn how to ride the tiger \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ​Events usually unfold in two parts: 1st part - People showcase projects, tools, setups and discuss learnings 2nd part - Open discussion/networking

Together with Capgemini, we’d like to invite you to our talk in June. This time, we’ll be discussing spec-driven development with Simon Martinelli. **Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java** AI is transforming how we develop software, but many teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic. What if specifications became the single source of truth instead? This session introduces Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP), a practical approach in which developers write clear, structured requirements, and AI generates everything else: diagrams, code, and tests. When requirements change, the system stays consistent automatically. Based on a real-world Java project built with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, the most productive and secure web framework for Java, you’ll see how SDD keeps business rules, data access, and UI perfectly aligned. Join this session to learn how AIUP helps Java developers deliver applications faster, with less boilerplate and more focus on what really matters: understanding the domain. Most teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic. In this session, you’ll learn how Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP) let you define requirements once and generate consistent Java code, diagrams, and tests automatically. Based on a real project with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, this talk shows how to build faster, safer, and more maintainable full-stack Java applications. **Simon Martinelli** Simon Martinelli is a Java Champion, Vaadin Champion, and Oracle ACE Pro with over three decades of experience as a software architect, developer, consultant, and trainer. He is the creator of the AI Unified Process (AIUP) and a strong advocate of Spec-Driven Development. As the owner of Martinelli LLC, he coaches teams to get up to speed with AI-driven development. He regularly shares his insights through international conferences, articles, and his blog, Keep IT Simple (https://martinelli.ch), where he writes about AI, architecture, and modern Java development. He is also a lecturer at two universities in Switzerland, where he teaches software architecture, persistence, DevOps, and cloud-native development.

Dear Community, after so many workshops, and a breathtaking Hamburg Summit, it's time to greet the sunshine and carry on the spirit of our beloved city! We have three amazing talks prepared for you this time! Thanks to our loyal host **Bonial International GmbH** \- we look forward meeting you all on the date\! =================================================== 18:15 - Warming up and networking chat 18:30 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & Bonial 18:45 - 19:10 - **Alexey Grigorev // Zero-Trust AWS Access for Humans and AI Agents** Alexey will share two real-world stories about managing AWS access securely outside of AWS itself. First, he will show how he organized a hands-on workshop where participants used personal laptops and GitHub Codespaces to provision infrastructure in their AWS account — without ever receiving long-lived AWS credentials. They needed something similar to EC2 instance profiles, but for arbitrary external environments. Then he will talk about AI agents and autonomous tooling. Alexey's agents run on non-AWS servers with intentionally restricted permissions. Sometimes they need temporary access to AWS sandbox environments, but he doesn’t want permanent credentials on those machines. Alexey will show an approach for granting short-lived, revocable AWS access on demand. 19:10 - 19:35 - **Surjeet Singh Sachdeva// A Journey From Five Certification Reschedules to AWS Golden Jacket and AWS Ambassador** In this session, Surjeet will share his journey of working through the AWS certification path, leading to the AWS Golden Jacket, along with the practical steps, discipline, and consistency required to reach it. He will also explain what the Golden Jacket represents in the AWS ecosystem, including the recognition, credibility, and deeper access it brings within the community, and how professionals can approach the certification journey in a structured way. 19:35 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks 20:00 - 20:30 - **Abdul Wahid // Deep Dive into Bedrock to Implement HITL Architecture** With the help of AWS Bedrock and his personal domain knowledge in the field on banking, Abdul Wahid will demonstrate The Human-in-the-loop (HITL) architecture by adding a layer of foundation model in the process to analyse the fraudulent transaction and return a confidence score. If the confidence score is below the defined threshold, then the system will alert the human to make the decision rather than letting AI to make mistakes. 20:30 - 20:50 - Common Q&A Round for all speakers. =================================================== **Very Important: There is no "waitlist" for our regular sessions.** However, there are limited seats available.

Save the date! The Mozilla Meetup series continues with talks focused on modern web technologies. To account for typical **no-show rates**, we’ve opened more RSVP spots than we can physically accommodate. Based on our last event, only about 36 of 100 registered participants (including Mozillians) attended in person. **We will admit attendees on a first-come, first-served basis and will need to close the doors once we reach room capacity (around 50 people).** Note that this event operates under the [Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines](https://www.mozilla.org/about/governance/policies/participation/). **18:00 - Doors open** **18:30 - Keep Off My LAN: Firefox's Implementation of Local Network Access** In June 2025, researchers exposed Local Mess — a tracking vulnerability where Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica scripts abused localhost access to silently track millions of Android users across the web. The web platform had a long-standing hole, and Firefox moved quickly to help close it. This talk presents Local Network Access (LNA), the emerging standard that finally tackles these threats along with a backlog of security vulnerabilities tied to localhost and local network devices. It walks through the specification, Firefox's implementation, and the real-world deployment challenges encountered along the way and how they were mitigated. Beyond the "what," this talk opens up a conversation. As LNA is still taking shape in the WICG, it's a chance for people building in the local network and localhost space — and for the adblocker and anti-tracking community, especially those running DNS-based blockers (Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, and similar) — to surface edge cases, breakage, and threat models that should be designed for. Anyone running services on localhost / local network, or operating local DNS-based tracking protection, is invited to share what LNA needs to get right. About the speaker: Sunil Mayya is a software engineer on Mozilla's Firefox Networking team, based in Nuremberg, and a core contributor to Firefox's implementation of the Local Network Access standard. **19:30 - The Devil is in the Defaults - what to do about XSS** This session is about latest defenses against Cross-Site Scritping (XSS), the most prevalent security issue of all times. We will showcase typical XSS bugs and how they can be avoided. We will also explain why previous mechanisms fall short of protecting web sites at scale and why we believe Trusted Types and the Sanitizer API can help closing this gap. The presentation will also give hands-on advice to enable security and development teams adopting these new protections. We will close with a bit on security considerations and remaining risks. About the speaker: Frederik Braun is a security engineer and manager working on Firefox.

Hi everyone, join us on Sunday, June 14, at Monbijou Park for a fun afternoon all about MBTI and other interesting topics. Whether you’re deep into cognitive function theory or you just heard about MBTI this week, we’re happy to have you here. Looking forward to seeing you there! Our group aims to bring together people who are interested in self-development and self-improvement using MBTI and cognitive functions, in order to learn more about the theory and share our experiences with it. Another reason for this meetup is to meet people with whom you might potentially get along really well based on your type. This can lead to meaningful connections :)
Although the meetup is geared towards people who are interested in learning about MBTI theory and using it to improve their lives, our conversations aren’t only about that! We talk about anything and everything. So it's more like a regular social meetup with the aim of avoiding small talk :)

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
