**The wait is over!** After a long hiatus, we are reviving our favorite morning tradition. Research Tuesday is returning as a monthly ritual for the UX community to meet, share, and discuss the "no-filter" reality of our craft. We’ve missed the energy of in-person discussions, and we’re thrilled to start this new chapter with you. **💡 The Vibe: No Cameras, Just Conversations** If you’re new here, this is our secret sauce: **We never record or stream our meetups.** We believe the best insights come from a safe space where speakers and participants can be brutally honest about what worked - and what didn't. **🌍 This Month: International Research** Conducting research across different cultures, languages, and time zones brings a unique set of challenges. How do we adapt our methods for global markets? What are the biggest cultural pitfalls? Our speakers will "kick off" the topic with informal presentations, followed by a deep-dive discussion. **Language note:** Since the topic is international and our speakers are global, this specific meetup will be held in **English**. **👋 Our Speakers:** **Martina Benešová** Martina is a UX Researcher at Livesport with over 15 years of experience across the research world. Her career includes working for GfK, Vodafone and Unilever, where she moved between consumer insights, brand management and market research roles. She studied Sociology at Oxford Brookes University and has worked across multiple countries and markets throughout her career. At Research Tuesday, she'll be talking about the challenges and realities of running research internationally. **Carolina Lourenço Rosa** Carolina is a Brazilian UX Researcher based in Portugal. With a background in Journalism and Film, she spent over a decade working as a content producer and researcher in media companies, NGOs, and film productions before transitioning to UX in 2022. Today, she works at Livesport conducting qualitative interviews with Brazilian and Portuguese users while coordinating a network of qualitative researchers across Italy, Nigeria, the UK, Colombia, and South Korea.

We will decide whether to provide the service based on your feedback. * **🎟️ Important Details:** * **Tickets:** The event is **free**, but space is strictly limited to **35 seats** to keep the discussion intimate. * **Reservation:** Please book your spot early.

**Talks:** *You’ve Heard of the OWASP Top 10 — Now Meet the Other 90%* *by* *Vojtech Snajdr* Most developers know OWASP for the famous Top 10 list, but that’s only a small part of what the organization actually does. OWASP is a huge ecosystem of tools, resources, standards, and experimental projects aimed at helping developers build more secure software. In this talk, we’ll take a tour beyond the Top 10 and explore some of the interesting, practical, and sometimes surprising things OWASP has created, with a focus on ideas and tools you can apply in real projects right away. **Schedule** **18:30** – Doors open **19:00** – Talk “*You’ve Heard of the OWASP top 10 — Now Meet the Other 90%*” 19:45 – Lightning talks: add yours to [https://bit.ly/prpylight](https://bit.ly/prpylight) after 20:00 – Networking **Good to know** * You don’t have to register for this meetup – the actual attendance is much bigger (40–70 Pythonistas) than indicated in the “Going” list here. * **Cash only payments – club doesn’t accept cards.** * Talks at Pyvo are mostly in Czech but it there’s somebody who doesn’t understand Czech talks are switched to English if the speaker is able to do so. * Besides both soft drinks and beer it's possible to eat at the club.

It's easy to get the idea that philosophy is largely an abstract and conceptual endeavor–studying theories that try to explain the universe, morality, or language, and then arguing until we either prove those we disagree with wrong or at least reach a smug sense of clarity. But is that all that philosophy has to offer? For this month's reading, we'll explore this question with **Pierre Hadot**, a French philosopher and historian of philosophy. Hadot was a **professor at the Collège de France**, where he held the **Chair in the History of Hellenistic and Roman Thought**. He specialized in **ancient Greek and Roman philosophy--especially Stoicism, Neoplatonism, and early Christian thought**–as was known for his scholarship on **Marcus Aurelius, Plotinus, and ancient spiritual exercises**. His work has influenced many contemporary philosophers, classicists, and the modern revival of philosophy as a lived practice. \*\*\* Below is a PDF copy of Hadot's essay Philosophy as a Way of Life. If you have trouble accessing it, send the host a message–extra copies are available. Link: https://livingagoodlife.com/fall2021/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Hadot.pdf \*\*\* We’ll have tea and light snacks, but please feel free to bring any drink or snack you’d like to share! This event will be hosted in an apartment with a well-trained dog who will be happy to meet you. If anyone has concerns about dogs, let me know so I can be mindful about keeping her from bothering you. The buzzer is Everett and Mainous—we’re on the 5th floor, apartment 16. Meeting structure: We will start with a brief summary of the key ideas Hadot presents then move to open discussion. Please read the text in advance, make highlights, and note any thoughts or questions you find interesting and compelling.

Let's play badminton at Sports Centre Olšanka. We'll meet at 10.40 and play for 60 minutes. If you have a Multisport card please bring it along, as it will make the court free for you and also reduce the cost for others. If you don't have a Multisport card the game will cost you a maximum of 150 crowns, probably much less. I will cover the cost of the court so please bring cash to pay me. There is a small organisation fee of 20 crowns for all players to participate in this event. Racquets can be rented for 50 crowns.

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
