Hello everyone, Paul here, I'm a French tennis coach,
I’m organising a 1-hour tennis session for FULL BEGINNERS at CWB Sport Ground, specifically for those who have never tried tennis before.
The lesson will take place on a practice court, which features a half court and a tennis wall.
The objective of the class is to learn the two most fundamental tennis strokes: the backhand and forehand.
To facilitate learning, we will use a mini tennis net, the tennis wall and various types of balls. (Soft/half soft/normal).
Price is 150 HKD per person for 1h
Number of players: 3 maximum
Place: CWB Sport Ground, next to Tin Hau MTR Station (This is not inside Victoria Park but next to the yellow library, be careful).
All players are welcome—both adults and kids! This is a relaxed lesson with no pressure, perfect for anyone looking to try tennis.
Please note:
* Confirm your RSVP on WhatsApp IN THE NEXT 24H after RSVP: +852 9465 5714 and proceed to the payment. Otherwise you’ll be removed from the RSVP list on Meetup.

HKPUG #98 - Breaking Data: Mind the Data Gap 🚇
Date: 30 May 2026 (Sat)
Time: 15:30 - 18:00 \*HKT
Coordinator: Ming Tou, Alex Au
Light Refreshments will be available!
This is a **workshop** for Python Data Cleaning. Please bring along your laptop with **Python3 installed with enough battery**! *Winners will get a small prize as an accomplishment **in the next meetup**.*
Please fill in the form for admission:
https://forms.gle/MGMGFiMZQGY4CZuP7
***Mind the Data Gap***
**This model will be delayed due to: missing values, outliers, and delimiter congestion.**
In this hands-on HKPUG workshop, we are turning a Python data cleaning exercise into a gamified team sprint.
You will work with a **synthetic Hong Kong-inspired transport dataset**. The data is messy on purpose: missing values, weird outliers, inconsistent categories, URL-encoded station names, confusing delimiters, and fields that look useless until you extract the hidden signal.
Your mission is simple:
**Clean the data. Extract better features. Run the scorer. Beat the model.**
You do not need to tune the model.
You need to **rescue the data**.
***How the Challenge Works***
Teams will write a Python data transformation script to clean and enrich the dataset.
Our scoring pipeline will then:
1. Run your transformation on the training and test data
2. Remove any label / target leakage columns
3. Train a fixed Gradient Boosting model
4. Evaluate the model using proxy metrics such as F1 and ROC-AUC
5. Convert the result into a data cleaning score
This is not meant to be a perfect data quality metric. It is an accessible proxy: if your **cleaning** and **feature extraction** help the **model perform better**, your team gets a better score.
**Capacity:** 60 (Team of 4)
**Venue Info:**
City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong (Exact Location TBC)
**Rundown:**
**30th May**
**15:30 – 15:40** Opening Remarks, Team Formation & GitHub Setup
**15:40 – 15:55** Briefing: Data Traffic Report, Challenge Rules & Scoring Pipeline
**15:55 – 16:20** Demo: Messy Dataset, Data Cleaning Strategy & `transform.py`
**16:20 – 17:10** Team Sprint Part 1: Missing Values, Outliers & Category Cleanup
**17:10 – 18:00** Team Sprint Part 2: Feature Extraction, Hidden Signals & Scoring Iterations
**18:00 -** Networking outside City University
**13th June**
**\- 23:59** Winner Team Announcement
**Audience pre-requisite:**
* **Hardware:** **MUST** bring a laptop with Python 3 installed and a code editor (VS Code, PyCharm, etc.).

As Kubernetes becomes the bedrock for modern AI/ML workloads, this "Kubernetes Night" is designed to bridge the gap between robust infrastructure and intelligent applications. We will explore real-world orchestration challenges on AWS, the integration of AI within Kubernetes clusters, and the evolving cloud developer ecosystem in Hong Kong. Whether you are a DevOps engineer, a Cloud Architect, or an AI developer, this night is dedicated to sharing "battle-tested" insights and fostering community innovation.
Target Audience: DevOps Engineers, SREs, AI Engineers, Cloud Architects, and Cloud Developers.

— Topic Details —
"Vibe-Coding an Internal PaaS on K8s in a Week" — Yinyin Chiu, Developer, Oursky Limited
AI agents turned every non-dev into a shipper of internal tools — but non-devs can't deploy on K8s, and deploying internal tools on public PaaS poses risk. So we gave ourselves 7 days to build SkyRocket: a self-hosted PaaS on our own K8s, gated behind Tailscale.
"Achieving CKA Certification" — Simon Sung, Kenfil
Simon is a highly accomplished professional with over 24 years of experience in I.T. consulting, recognized for expertise in server-side systems specializing in Kubernetes Cloud Native and VMware virtualization. He is a Linux Foundation Certified Kubernetes Instructor. Topics: 1) Introduction, 2) CKA Exam Structure, 3) What You Actually Need to Know, 4) How to Prepare Smartly, 5) Career Impact.

One Shot Saturday (Tabletop RPGs)
WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY?
It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏,我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行!
You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us.
Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers.
Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. —
Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/)
\*\*\*
WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG?
It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world.
Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
