Moeten we tegenwoordig nog zelf alle code schrijven, of kunnen AI-tools ons daarbij helpen? Tijdens deze meetup maken we kennis met Large Language Models (LLM’s) zoals ChatGPT en Claude als hulpmiddel bij het ontwikkelen van embedded software. In plaats van één specifieke technologie centraal te stellen, richten we ons op het effectief samenwerken met een LLM. Je leert hoe je duidelijke en gerichte prompts schrijft, zodat je betere en bruikbare resultaten krijgt. De kwaliteit van een prompt heeft namelijk grote invloed op de uiteindelijke code. Tijdens de workshop bouwen we samen, met hulp van een LLM, een werkend embedded programma voor een ESP32-ontwikkelboard. **Wat neem je mee?** Neem zelf een laptop mee met: * VSCode * PlatformIO We maken gebruik van: * Claude / ChatGPT * GitHub Copilot Er zijn enkele ESP32-boardjes beschikbaar om tijdens de workshop te gebruiken. **Voorbereiding** Het is handig om vooraf alvast enkele zaken op je laptop te installeren. Zie volgende document: **[Voorbereidingen voor de WorkShop](https://iotapeldoorn.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/voorbereidingen-workshop.pdf)** **Kosten** Deelname kost €5,- inclusief drankjes. **Planning** * Inloop: 19:00 * Start workshop: 19:30 * Einde: 22:30 We zien jullie graag op woensdagavond 27 mei 2026!

\# This meetup is around a third\-party organizer\, Focus Filmtheater\. You can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session\. **Seats are numbered**. # **Title**: Love Me Tender **Language**: French **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 134 min **Director**: Anna Cazenave Cambet **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-love-me-tender/ **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/144300/ **Synopsis:** In the midst of a painful divorce, Clémence realizes she no longer recognizes her life. Seeking freedom, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads to a sapphic love affair. Her ex-husband uses this against her in a custody battle for their child. Anna Cazenave Cambet adapts Constance Debré’s autobiographical novel with sensitivity and precision. Beyond its commentary on homophobia and sexism, the film offers a moving reflection on motherhood and freedom, a modern *Kramer vs. Kramer* in French form. **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:15, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 18:45. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!

Most apps don’t fail because of code — they fail because they don’t **make money**. In this live, hands-on session, we’ll build a real iOS app from scratch using AI-assisted (vibe) coding — and **integrate monetization** from the very beginning. No theory. Just a **real app, built step by step**. You’ll see: * how to go from idea to **working app** in under an hour * how to structure a simple product that can actually **generate revenue** * how **subscription models** work in practice (weekly, monthly, yearly) * what makes a **paywall convert** — and what kills it * how tools like **[Adapty](https://adapty.io/)** help you set your monetization right and make experiments! * **paywall experiments** without rebuilding your app This session is designed not only for developers, but also for **vibe coders, indie makers, and founders** who use AI tools to build products faster — even without a deep technical background. **What you’ll walk away with** * a clear understanding of how monetization fits into product design * a real example of a working app with a paywall * practical insights you can apply immediately **Format** * Live coding session (\~60 min) * Short discussion & Q&A **Who should attend** * mobile developers * vibe coders & AI builders * indie makers * startup founders **About the host** Sèrge Koval — iOS/macOS engineer with 17+ years of experience, cybersecurity specialist, and organizer of Luxembourg Vibe Coding workshops. **Stay in touch** After the session, I’ll share a few extra tips, resources, and updates in Adapty's Discord server: [https://discord.gg/jSrPYTXBTN](https://discord.gg/jSrPYTXBTN) There is also a dedicated "🇱🇺 luxembourg" channel! **Notes** The session will be conducted in English. 📍 OFFLINE and ONLINE from Luxembourg City 🗓 May 27\, 2026 \| 18:00–19:30 ⚡️Spots are limited to 500 — register now.

**Leeds Power BI, Data & Analytics User Group — We’re Back!** After a short break, we’re excited to return with another fantastic evening of learning, networking, and community — hosted by **Hippo Digital** at **The Brew Society, Leeds**. Join us on **Wednesday 27th May 2026** for a high-quality, hybrid event featuring two brilliant speakers covering both **governance** and **design in Power BI** — two topics that every data professional needs to master. *** ## 🎤 **Speaker Line-Up** ### **Lazaros Viastikopoulos \| [metisbi.co.uk](metisbi.co.uk)** **Power BI Governance: The Foundations Matter More Than Ever** Practical lessons for governing Power BI at scale. A practical look at the Power BI governance foundations that still matter - even as the platform has evolved into being one workload of many within MS Fabric, surrounded by AI hype. Laz first delivered this talk in 2019. Before ChatGPT. Before Copilot. Before Fabric. He's giving it again in 2026 because the framework hasn't needed to change and because AI doesn't fix bad governance, it accelerates the consequences of it. The talk walks the practical journey between the different Power BI Deployment Approaches and covers the factors to set up between them. In short: the factors have not changed. The cost of skipping them has. *** ### **Shubhangi Goyal** **Wireframe to Report: A Practical Power BI Design Workflow** Learn a practical end to end workflow for designing Power BI reports, from requirements gathering and wireframing to final delivery and iteration. This session walks through a practical, end-to-end workflow for designing Power BI reports, from initial wireframing to a polished, production-ready dashboard. Attendees will learn how to translate business questions into clear layouts, choose the right visuals for the right insights, and apply design principles that improve usability and decision-making. *** ## 🎯 **What to Expect** * Insightful, practical sessions from experienced speakers * Real-world techniques you can apply immediately * A chance to connect with the Leeds data community * A relaxed, welcoming environment — whether you’re new or experienced *** ## 📍 **Event Details** **Location:** Hippo Digital, The Brew Society, Leeds LS1 4HT **Arrival:** 5:30 PM **Start:** 6:00 PM **Finish:** \~8:30 PM 🎥 **Hybrid Event:** Attend in person or join via YouTube livestream 🍕 **Food & Refreshments** Provided 🤝 **Networking** before and after talks *** ## 🙌 **Special Thanks** A big thank you to **Hippo Digital** for sponsoring and hosting this event. *** ## ⚠️ **RSVP Reminder** Spaces are limited for in-person attendance, so please RSVP early.

From the creator of the AI Interaction Atlas, this workshop is designed to help you think differently about how we make AI systems work well for actual humans, and build the foundational skills for identifying and communicating why & how we might use AI within a larger solution. AI is a powerful technology that seems to be the answer to every problem, but in reality only provides value when designed right. Wanting AI and knowing where it belongs are two very different things. Too often, teams are compelled to implement AI (often by their stakeholders) without ever asking the important questions: does the problem truly call for AI? What's the ROI? Where specifically is AI needed? How might we best take advantage of the capabilities AI can perform? What happens to the people we design AI solutions for? You can design AI systems that genuinely improve people's work and lives, but it requires a new framing that understands the materiality of AI within the contexts we build. **In this three-hour workshop you'll learn how to:** * Treat AI as a design material, with specific functions and values, rather than a magic fix to slap on top of an existing experience. * Identify gaps in your users context worth designing AI solutions for vs. gaps that don't need AI at all. * Determine what AI enablements provide real value for your users and business. * Evaluate which specific AI capabilities create the foundation for a given user experience. * Build a shared language your team can use to clearly communicate around AI design and development.

Every AI pipeline starts with one question: where does the data come from? In this hands-on workshop, we'll answer that question using Scrapy, one of Python's most powerful web scraping frameworks. You'll go from a blank project to a working spider that harvests structured data from the web, ready to feed into your next AI or data science project. We'll cover: • Scrapy vs. lighter tools (Requests & Beautiful Soup), and when each makes sense • Extracting data from HTML using CSS selectors • Following links and handling pagination at scale • Writing clean, structured output to a file • The ethical and legal side of web scraping Bonus (Gold Star): a chapter on scraping JavaScript-rendered pages for those who want to go further. 🐍 Python basics assumed — no prior scraping experience needed **Agenda** \- 18:00 Doors Open \- 18:30 Start of the Workshop \- 20:15 Workshop Closing & Announcements \- 20:30 Networking \- 21:00 Event Closing **GitHub Repo** [Scalable Data Harvesting for AI](https://github.com/pyladiesams/scalable-data-harvesting-for-ai-may2026) **Stream** [YouTube Stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wqXbShaAvU) ​**📧 Contact** Are you interested in speaking at one of our events?

🎟️ **[REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HERE](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-netherlands/events/mot-netherlands-280526)** 🎟️ **The MoaCM ... which sounds a bit like Mokum (nickname for Amsterdam).** Every tester knows there’s always more going on beneath the surface: the unspoken questions, the unexpected discoveries, the “wait… what just happened?” moments that shape our craft. Our next chapter meeting leans right into that spirit. We’re pulling back the curtain on the things we don’t always talk about, the stories that don’t make the slides, and the hidden agendas that quietly steer our testing journeys. We offer you an evening full of curiosity, connection, and a few delightful surprises. Two awesome speakers will take the stage with talks crafted especially for this event. Sorry, no spoilers, but trust me, you will want to be in the room when they drop their insights. Add great food, lightning talks, stroopwafels, and the kind of hallway conversations that only happen at Ministry of Testing gatherings, and you’ve got yourself a night worth marking in bold on your calendar. **PROGRAM:** **17:00 – Arrival & Grabbing a Seat** Ease in, find your spot, and enjoy your complimentary stroopwafel. Consider it the warm‑up round for your brain. **17:20 – Opening Remarks** A quick kickoff to set the tone and spark your curiosity. **17:30 – Talk 1: Sanne Visser** The wheel is spinning but the hamster is stuck. (Knowing Sanne, expect something sharp, thoughtful, and delightfully unexpected). **18:30 – Dinner** Fuel up with good food, because even testers need to keep their internal combustion engines running smoothly. **19:30 – Talk 2: Veerle Verhagen** tba… (And yes, Veerle will absolutely bring her ever-present energy, brilliant insight, and probably a twist we will not see coming). **20:30 – Closing & Lightning Talks** A few final thoughts from your chapter lead, followed by the community taking the mic. Share an idea, pitch a question, or drop a testing gem … lightning‑style. **Followed by – Networking Drinks** Stay, chat, unwind, and connect. No fixed end time; we leave when the energy fades or the building politely tells us it’s time to go. 🎟️ **[REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HERE](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-netherlands/events/mot-netherlands-280526)** 🎟️

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

**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. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
