Join us for another great presentation and discussion topic by Watson as he reviews the book "Broken Money" by Lyn Alden. [Broken Money: Why Our Financial System Is Failing Us and How We Can Make It Better](https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Money-Financial-System-Failing/dp/B0CG83QBJ6) *Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications.* \-\-\-\- From 6:30 - 8:30PM, the Allen R. Baca Center will be our starting point. We will share an educational topic before heading across the street for Bitcoin Happy Hour in historic downtown Round Rock. Some light refreshments will be provided, but you are also welcome to BYOB. We'll also demo some tools and provide opportunities for a little peer to peer circular economy A.K.A. Satoshi Square. The purpose of this group is 2 fold: \*Share knowledge, tools, resources, and benefits of the Bitcoin network for advancing humankind. - Peer to peer networking with other bitcoiners in order to grow adoption by local businesses within our community. Whether you are new to bitcoin or a hardened node runner, if you live in or around Round Rock, this group is for you. Come join us for The Round Rock Bitcoiners meetup!

Come out for a casual evening bike ride along Brushy Creek Trail East. We roll at 6:05pm and plan to ride for about an hour. Distance is flexible depending on the group's pace. The trail is fully paved, so any type of bike works. Road bike, mountain bike, hybrid, whatever you've got. All skill levels welcome. Bring water and lights just in case we're out past sunset.

**The world keeps changing. Fast. The question is whether your approach is.** KAA 2026 is where Agile practitioners, leaders, and builders come to work through what's actually hard right now: delivering real value, building trust across teams, and figuring out where AI fits without losing the human system underneath it. This isn't a theory conference. The speakers are doing the work. Our keynote, **Kevin Koym**, has helped over 6,500 entrepreneurs across 42 countries build something real. He founded Tech Ranch Austin. He's seen what stalls people and what moves them. If you're building something, leading something, or still figuring out what comes next, his talk is worth your whole morning. The rest of the lineup covers leadership, product, teams, and technology. Talks and workshops. Practitioners and executives. A room full of people who take this seriously. **If that sounds like your kind of day, purchase tickets here:** [https://www.agileaustin.org/kaa-2026-ticket-info](https://www.agileaustin.org/kaa-2026-ticket-info) Want to see who's speaking first?

**We're in-person at ESC13 again this month!** You can still catch the stream online, but we'd love for you to show up on-site if you're in the area to for a Live MergePHP watch party as Alena Holligan presents **Stop Guessing, Start Verifying: A Modern API Documentation and Testing Toolkit.** \-\-\- APIs are only as good as the trust developers place in them. That trust is built through clear documentation and rigorous testing — yet in many teams, both remain an afterthought. This session makes the case for treating your OpenAPI specification as the single source of truth for your entire API lifecycle, and demonstrates how a modern toolchain can turn that spec into living documentation, a contract enforcement mechanism, and an automated test suite. We begin with **OpenAPI** as the foundation: structuring a spec that accurately models your API's requests, responses, and error states. From there, we'll explore **Redocly** to transform that spec into polished, developer-friendly reference documentation — covering customization, linting, and the Redocly CLI for integrating docs into your CI/CD pipeline. The second half of the session focuses on testing across multiple layers. We'll cover **schema validation** (ensuring your implementation matches the spec), **contract testing** (verifying that producer and consumer agreements hold across deployments), and **negative testing** (probing edge cases and malformed inputs). A key focus will be validating your existing **PHPUnit test suite against your OpenAPI spec** — asserting that the responses your application actually returns conform to the schemas you've documented, using tools like `osteel/openapi-httpfoundation-testing` or the `php-openapi` library. This approach surfaces drift between your spec and implementation without requiring a running server, and slots naturally into Laravel and Symfony testing workflows. We'll then use **Schemathesis** to drive property-based and fuzz testing directly from your OpenAPI spec — requiring zero test case authoring for broad coverage — and compare how spec-driven fuzzing complements the response assertions you've already built into PHPUnit. Finally, we'll introduce **Arazzo**, the emerging OpenAPI Initiative specification for describing multi-step API workflows. We'll walk through defining realistic end-to-end scenarios — authentication flows, resource creation chains, dependent call sequences — and show how Arazzo workflows close the gap between isolated endpoint testing and real-world usage patterns. ## Attendees Will Leave With * A practical strategy for keeping documentation and implementation in sync * Techniques for validating PHPUnit test responses directly against OpenAPI schemas * An understanding of contract testing and where it fits alongside unit and integration tests * Hands-on patterns for automated spec-driven testing with Schemathesis * A working knowledge of Arazzo for modeling and validating API workflows *** *Whether you maintain a public API or an internal microservices mesh, this session will give you the tools to ship APIs that are easier to understand, harder to break, and faster to debug.* \-\-\- Tuning in online?

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

**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** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
