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

Filozofická kavárna (Café Philo): přemýšlet a diskutovat
Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky:
Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…
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
ACE Prague is a free, community-led meetup for Atlassian users, admins, partners, and enthusiasts across Czechia. We meet quarterly to share knowledge, swap real-world experience, and grow together as a community. No vendor pitches — just honest, practitioner-level content and genuine connection.

Meetup Org Charts Are Melting: How AI-Native Teams Actually Work
Join us for another AI Transformers Prague meetup — a community for leaders, innovators, and practitioners who want to turn AI from buzzword into real business impact.
Org charts are melting. And nobody's talking about it enough.
In AI-native companies, a three-person team ships what used to take thirty. Job titles blur into capability stacks. The manager's role is being quietly rewritten by agents that plan, draft, and execute alongside humans. The pyramid isn't just flattening — it's cracking at the foundation.
This meetup brings together people building inside this shift to compare notes on what's actually working. No futurism. No hype. Just honest stories from the ground.
\*\*\*
🧭 Theme: Org Charts Are Melting — How AI-Native Teams Actually Work
We'll explore questions like:
\* What new roles are emerging — and which ones are quietly disappearing?
\* How do decisions flow when half your "team" is non-human?
\* What does operating leverage of 10x per person actually look like in practice?
\* How do you manage, hire, and lead when agents are doing the executing?
\* What organizational models are winning right now — and why?
\*\*\*
🎙 Speakers
Three practitioners building inside AI-native organizations — each bringing a different vantage point on what the new operating model really looks like:
\* [Petr Zatloukal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrzatloukal/) – Co-Founder and Career Driver at Alviso
\* [Markéta Dlouhá](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marketaconka/) – , Agile Delivery and AI Community LeadDr. Max
\*[ Senta Čermáková ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sentacermakova/)– Board Member and Director of International Operations of Czechitas
[Michal Ličko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michallicko/) – CEO @ Visionvolve \| AI Transformation Leader
\*\*\*
🎤 Format
3 lightning talks followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A focused on what's happening on the ground right now, not theory.
\*\*\*
📋 Agenda
17:30 – Doors open & networking
18:00 – Welcome & intro
18:00–19:00 – 3× Lightning talks
19:00–19:30 – Panel discussion & Q&A
19:30 onwards – Networking & informal conversations
\*\*\*
👥 Who Is This For?
\* Founders & startup leaders rethinking how their teams are structured
\* Product managers & engineering leads working with AI agents
\* Corporate innovators navigating organizational change
\* People managers figuring out what leadership looks like with AI in the loop
\* HR & org design professionals
\* Anyone curious about how the best AI-native teams actually operate
Whether you're already running AI-augmented teams or just starting to feel the pressure to change, this session will give you honest, practical insight into what's working — and what isn't.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
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

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.
Evolve Elevate (Virtual)
Evolve is all about creating an Authentic Community, Deeper Connections, and Confident Growth. We are a group of entrepreneurial women who connect personally and professionally. We welcome every guest to experience our authentic community with no cliques and no judgment. Come as you are! There's a seat waiting for you.
Elevate is an action-oriented connection experience designed to help women entrepreneurs move beyond surface-level networking and into meaningful growth, collaboration, and courageous action. Each session centers around a focused business or personal development topic, followed by intentional breakout discussions that encourage deeper conversations, real relationship-building, and practical next steps.
Unlike traditional networking events, Elevate is designed to create momentum. Women are encouraged not only to share ideas, but to actively support one another through accountability, collaboration, brainstorming, and action-based growth. Every meeting is an opportunity to build authentic connections, gain fresh perspective, and leave with a clear action step to implement before the next session.
This is a space where women rise together — not through competition or hustle culture, but through encouragement, courage, consistency, and intentional community.
