Decentralized Systems & Applications

Buzoku Meetup | Web3 and AI | Barcelona Join us in Sant Gervasi for Buzoku, a bi monthly casual meetup for people building in Web3, AI, and digital systems. What started as a Web3 focused group is now expanding to include AI builders as well. The format No panels No presentations No agenda We meet at a bar, grab a drink, and talk. That is it. Who comes A mix of: • Engineers and technical builders • Founders and operators • Investors and traders • Designers and curious minds Working across: • Crypto, Web3, and digital assets • AI, agents, and applied machine learning You do not need to be working at the intersection. If you are deep in either space, you will find your people here. We are also very interested in where AI and crypto meet, including agentic systems, automated finance, and new coordination models. What to expect • Real conversations about what people are actually building • War stories, ideas, experiments, and lessons learned • A relaxed environment where you can meet people naturally No pressure to pitch. No structured talks. Just good people and good discussions. Why join • Meet high quality builders in Barcelona • Exchange ideas without the noise of formal events • Find collaborators, hires, or new opportunities 🍺 🍷 Drinks on us, both alcoholic and non alcoholic We try to keep the group high signal. If you are actively building or deeply involved in AI or crypto, you will get the most out of it.

**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to an event hosted by [Mews](https://developers.mews.com/) at Barcelona Finance Hub by Aticco.. **Integrating AI into Design Workflows** The conversation around AI often swings between hype and fear. The reality is much messier and more interesting. In this talk, we learn from a Product Designer at Mews how AI has become part of her everyday design practice, helping shape concepts, challenge assumptions, speed up exploration, and support decision-making. Through real examples, we’ll explore the opportunities, limitations, and open questions that come with designing alongside AI. **Speaker** **[Soraya Coreana](https://www.linkedin.com/in/soraya-c-68ba9211b/)** is a Product Designer at **Mews**, where she designs solutions across B2B and B2C environments to elevate the guest experience in hospitality. With a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design Communication and a reach that extends into cybersecurity, she brings a uniquely broad perspective to the craft of UX. At the heart of her work is customer empathy, a driving force that shapes how she uncovers problems and builds meaningful solutions. She's a passionate advocate for accessible design and brings a research-led approach to every challenge she takes on. **Hosts** This event is hosted by [Mews](https://developers.mews.com/), one of Europe’s leading hospitality technology companies, helping hotels and hospitality teams streamline operations, improve guest experiences, and modernize how hospitality businesses run.

We’re thrilled to announce the next edition of the BcnRust Meetup, this time hosted by **[Protofy](https://protofy.xyz/)**! Join us for an evening exploring two very different but equally ambitious Rust projects: an AI-native virtual machine that rethinks how code is executed, and a distributed task queue built as a hands-on journey into async Rust, concurrency, and fault-tolerant systems. Whether you're interested in language runtimes, AI agents, distributed systems, or simply seeing how Rust enables bold ideas, this meetup is for you. **Driver: An Agentic VM in Rust** by [Cristian Sánchez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cr3at0r/) Most virtual machines are deterministic by design. LLMs break that. But what if AI wasn't an external API on top, but a native execution primitive inside the VM itself? Driver is a Rust VM where AI is a first-class execution primitive. The stdlib is aware of whether it's being invoked by deterministic bytecode or by an LLM-generated action and behaves accordingly. We'll cover the practical decisions behind the core VM, and the toolkit around it. **Aether: Learning Async Rust by building a Distributed Task Queue** by [Arnau Berenguer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnau-berenguer-jimenez/) Building a distributed system is a great way to learn async Rust because you run into all the hard parts for real. In this talk I'll walk through Aether, a personal project of a task queue that lets you submit and run Python scripts on a cluster from a CLI. We'll cover the system architecture, how to handle multiple concurrent tasks sharing state, how to handle loss of connection, and propagating cancellation signals on concurrent tasks over the network. Along the way we'll see the honest lessons learned and what makes async Rust hard but fun. **Why Attend?** * Explore advanced Rust applications, from AI-native runtimes to distributed infrastructure. * Learn practical lessons about virtual machine design, async programming, concurrency, and fault tolerance. * Discover how experienced Rust developers approach complex systems and architectural trade-offs. * Connect with Barcelona's Rust community and exchange ideas with fellow engineers, makers, and enthusiasts. * Get inspired by real-world projects that push Rust beyond the usual web services and CLI tools. Whether you're a Rust beginner curious about what's possible, or a seasoned developer looking to dive deeper into systems programming, you'll leave with new ideas, technical insights, and plenty to discuss. Let’s build, learn, and geek out over Rust together! 🦀 **Streaming**: We will stream it via YouTube so you can also subscribe to our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@bcnrust) to get notified when we go live.

Favor confirmar através del WhatsApp +351914149287 Tema: Las Constelaciones Familiares son una técnica de la medicina holística creada por Bert Hellinger y que nos permite mirar desde otra perspectiva nuestra vida presente. En ellas se da un nuevo espacio a acontecimientos pasados, comprendiendo todo lo vivido y de ese modo se ubican las emociones en otro lugar más sano, en el lugar correcto, liberándonos de cualquier lastre del pasado que pudiéramos tener. La terapia con Constelaciones Familiares revela que muchos de nuestros sentimientos, comportamientos y síntomas no están en realidad vinculados a nuestra propia historia personal, sino que tienen su origen en una lealtad familiar inconsciente que pretende que cada generación reanude los conflictos no regulados de las generaciones anteriores. Las Constelaciones Familiares permiten poner luz sobre estos conflictos y repararlos para liberar a los que los llevan y a sus futuras generaciones.

En esta conferencia exploraremos una idea sencilla pero profundamente transformadora: el poder del momento presente. Inspirada en las enseñanzas de Eckhart Tolle y su obra El poder del ahora, la charla abordará cómo la mente tiende a identificarse con pensamientos y emociones que nos alejan de la experiencia real de la vida. Se tratarán conceptos como la observación de la mente, la identificación con el ego, la gestión del sufrimiento psicológico y la importancia de desarrollar presencia consciente. A través de ejemplos prácticos, se mostrará cómo llevar estas ideas al día a día para mejorar la claridad mental, la calma interior y la toma de decisiones. Partiremos de una premisa clave: si estás plenamente en el ahora, puedes experimentar la felicidad. La felicidad no es algo externo que haya que alcanzar, sino un estado natural que emerge cuando dejamos de vivir atrapados en la mente. Se trabajarán ideas como actuar con conciencia, aceptar lo que es y soltar la resistencia. Salir del ruido mental para volver a un estado de paz más profundo y estable. La conferencia propone una reflexión directa y aplicable: cómo dejar de vivir en piloto automático y empezar a experimentar la vida con mayor atención, equilibrio y consciencia. Un encuentro pensado para quienes buscan reducir el ruido mental, comprenderse mejor y conectar con una forma más plena de vivir. **Ponente**: Miguel Pou - Terapeuta y escritor **Colaboración**: 5 euros (costes de sala y organización).

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!
