Analog Advantage: The Benefits of Running Workshops the Old Way
If your days are a blur of digital meetings, and you feel that spark of true collaboration is fading, you're not alone!
Join us for this meetup to learn how to push back against it.
Here’s a promise:
In this meetup, you will experience what real collaboration with real human beings in 3D feels like.
But not only that! You will learn:
* Why people come up with better ideas and remember more when they’re in workshops without screens
* How to use post-its and flipcharts to max their advantage against virtual whiteboards
* How to smoothly bring outputs from your analog meetings into the digital world
All that will be supported by real experience running real workshops (both analog and digital) in MSD and beyond.

Ackee Meets: QA testing v době AI
### Ackee Meets: Vol. 4 – QA v době AI je tady! 🤘
2026 jsme vyhlásili jako rok *Ackee Multiverse*.✨🔮 Po předchozích dvou meetupech (Mobile Development + Frontend & Backend) pokračujeme hráčem hrajícím často neviditelně v pozadí – Quality Assurance\*\*.🕵️\*\* V době AI.
Kód sice dneska vzniká „sám“ a AI chrlí jeden řádek za druhým, ale ruku na srdce – s rychlostí roste i kreativita nových chyb a v šesti verzích excelové tabulky se AI ztratí stejně rychle jako člověk. Otázka už dávno nestojí tak, *jestli* nás stroje nahradí, ale jak tenhle technologický chaos ukočírovat, aby z toho nevznikl jeden velký fuckup.
Přijďte na další Ackee Meets, kde si ukážeme, **jak vypadá skutečná detektivní práce moderního testera, jak pomocí AI postavit interní appku a zkrotit firemní hardware a proč je přístupnost produktů klíčová nejen pro legislativu, ale hlavně pro lidi.**
🚫 **Kapacita je omezená – registrujte se zdarma přes [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984893095681?aff=oddtdtcreator).** Interakce tady na meetupu nestačí.
**CO NÁS ČEKÁ:**
**📣 Svět QA po nástupu AI agentů**
🎤 **Madina Akramova,** *tester*
Ještě nedávno QA kontrolovalo hlavně výstupy vývojářů. Dnes kusy kódu generují AI agenti – rychleji, než stíháme reagovat, a s úplně novým typem chyb. Podíváme se na to, jak se mění každodenní práce testerů a kde AI reálně pomáhá při návrhu testů, analýze zadání i hledání rizik. Práce testerů nekončí, jen se posouvá jinam, protože kód sice možná vzniká „sám“, ale ta pravá detektivní práce stejně zbývá na nás.
**📣 Jak dostat HW chaos pod kontrolu (i pomocí AI)**
**🎤 Dominik Fabián**, *Tester*
Firemní HW žijící v šesti verzích jednoho Excelu, který nikdo pořádně neudržuje – známe to všichni. Ukážeme si, jak jsme tenhle chaos zkrotili a pomocí AI postavili interní aplikaci pro správu zařízení. Cíl byl jednoduchý: přestat lovit informace a konečně mít přehled, který fakt funguje.
**📣 Proč je přístupnost digitálních produktů klíčová a jak ji testovat**
**🎤** **Tomáš Samseli,** *tester*
Navrhovat digitální produkty bez ohledu na přístupnost je sice legislativně riskantní, ale hlavně lidsky hloupé. Podíváme se na reálné překážky, se kterými se handicapovaní uživatelé potýkají, a ukážeme si praktické tipy z testování přístupnosti přímo v Ackee. Podíváme se, jak vytvořit aplikaci, kterou může bez nervů používat opravdu každý. WCAG si přečetl málokdo – problémy najdeš i bez toho.
* 🗓️ **Kdy**: 24. 6. 2026 od 17:00 (open door)
* 📍 **Kde**: Ackee, Block Karlín, 6. patro
* **💸 Za kolik:** Zdarma – ale nutná registrace přes Eventbrite
**Program:**
* **17:00** 🚪 Vstup
* **17:30** 1️⃣ Madina Akramova: **Svět QA po nástupu AI agentů**
* **18:00** 2️⃣ Dominik Fabián: **Jak dostat HW chaos pod kontrolu (i pomocí AI)**
* **18:30** 3️⃣ Tomáš Samseli: **Proč je přístupnost digitálních produktů klíčová a jak ji testovat**
* **19:00** 🍕 Networking
* **21:00** 🔚 Konec akce, jde se domů!
🚫 **Kapacita je omezená – registrujte se zdarma přes [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984893095681?aff=oddtdtcreator).** Interakce tady na meetupu nestačí.
Těšíme se! 🤙

We are a group of runners who meet most weeks for a run around the beautiful Vltava River's edge.

Solstice Sessions — Atlassian Insights & Midsummer Cheers
Midsummer Atlassian Nights: Governance, Users & Team '26 Fresh from Anaheim
June 25, 2026 · 5:00–9:00 PM · SentinelOne Office, Prague
Summer is almost here — and we're celebrating it the ACE Prague way: with sharp technical sessions, a live panel straight from Atlassian's biggest event of the year, and a midsummer beer garden to close out the evening.
Join us on June 25th for one of our most packed evenings yet. Two expert speakers. A panel discussion bringing Team '26 insights direct from Anaheim. And then — we head outside.
🎤 Session 1: When Atlassian User Management Stops Being an Admin Problem Björn Döhler · re:solution
Nobody wakes up excited about user management. And yet, again and again, it's the silent culprit behind some of the biggest headaches in modern organizations — exploding license costs, broken accountability, risky migrations, and decisions made without reliable data.
This session tells a story — or rather, several — about how these situations unfold in real life, what teams usually miss until it's too late, and how thinking differently about user management can change the outcome. No sales pitch. No "ten features in ten minutes." Just stories, lessons learned, and a glimpse of what becomes possible when user management stops being invisible.
🎤 Session 2: From Zero to Hero — Data Governance Can Be Easy Hubert Kut · AppForge.ai
Data governance sounds intimidating. It doesn't have to be.
Hubert will walk you through how to perform comprehensive health checks on your Jira instance, automate the cleaning process, and improve data quality — without it becoming a full-time job. You'll leave with actionable practices that make Jira management more straightforward, your system more performant, and your users a lot happier. Whether you're just starting out or looking to tighten up an already complex environment, this one's for you.
🗣️ Panel Discussion: Fresh from Team '26 — What Atlassian's Biggest Event Means for You
All three of us — Björn, Hubert, and your host Julia Skoursky — were in Anaheim in person for Team '26. Now we're bringing it back to Prague.
What actually happened? What announcements matter for admins, partners, and teams using Atlassian tools every day? What's coming, what surprised us, and what should you be preparing for? This panel is your shortcut to the highlights — unfiltered, first-hand, and with room for your questions.
🍺 Midsummer Beer Garden
When the sessions wrap, we're not done. We're heading outside to celebrate the longest days of the year the right way — cold drinks, good company, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the sun refuses to set.
This is your chance to keep the discussion going with speakers and fellow community members in a relaxed, informal setting. Midsummer only comes once a year. Make it count.
🤝 About ACE Prague

This is for anyone wanting feedback! We mostly focus on novels and longer works, but short stories are welcome, as well. You can submit anything you want feedback on in any genre. Current word limit for submissions is 4,000 words. Send your submissions by 13:30 the Thursday before the meeting (or we have a grace period during which you can submit a lower limit of 2,500 words if you submit by midnight Thursday evening). Also, if you don't have time to read through everyone's submissions, still join the meeting! We know that busy schedules don't always make finding reading time easy.
To submit, use the Dropbox folder. If you don't have access to it, send sonyalakadosch@yahoo.com your e-mail address so I can add you.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there! My number in case of any confusion the day of the meeting is 737 118 530 - or on Facebook: Sonya Lano (https://www.facebook.com/sonya.lano)
DROPBOX INFO:
* add new submissions for the next meeting in the " submissions" folder for the meeting date. Put your name at the beginning of the file name (for example: "Sonya Somewhere in the Dark")
* When providing written feedback (not required, but deeply welcome), save the file as a separate document on your device, then mark your changes/ feedback in the saved file. After you're finished, put the file in the "Feedback" folder under the folder for the meeting date and then under the person the feedback is for (e.g. "For Sonya").
* The submissions folder will be replaced within a week after the meeting has taken place. Feedback will be deleted within 2 months after the meeting, so if you need it longer than that, make sure to copy it to your own disk.
Book Club: Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless
On Saturday, 27th of June, we’re going to meet and discuss the *The Power of the Powerless* by Václav Havel, an influential book that has become a key text of dissident thought in communist Eastern Europe.
Written in 1978, Havel’s book explores how authoritarian systems sustain themselves not only through force, but through conformity, fear, and everyday participation in lies. What does it mean to ‘live within the truth’? Can ordinary people resist oppressive systems, even when they seem powerless? And what forms of responsibility do individuals bear in political life?
Although written under late socialism in Czechoslovakia, Havel’s reflections remain strikingly relevant today. How do ideology, bureaucracy, media, and social pressure shape our behaviour? Are modern societies immune to the dynamics Havel describes – or do they simply take different forms?
Václav Havel (1936–2011) was a Czech playwright, dissident, political thinker, and statesman. A leading figure of the democratic opposition during communist rule, he later became the last President of Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic.
***
Anyone is welcome to join! Before the meeting, please read the book (it’s around 100 pages long), think about it, and note any passages you find especially interesting, challenging, or worth discussing. We’ll share our thoughts and interpretations during the meeting.

11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!

June Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage***
**by Alfred Lansing.**
A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds.
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 **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖
