Our dear friend Albert known to many of you by the famous Prague's Cafe Philo is going to give us a talk about **the theories of art** by Friedrich Nietzsche and Christoph Menke. **Christoph Menke** is a contemporary German philosopher who thinks about art. What is art, how do we make judgments about art, how does art influence our personal life and life in society – these are the questions he treats in his book THE FORCE OF ART (“Die Kraft der Kunst”). Christoph Menke is professor at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt, his concept of art is strongly influenced by Adorno, Kant and especially by Nietzsche’s famous book THE BIRTH OF TRAGEDY (“Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik”). In a way, you can look at his book as an actualization of **Nietzsche’s concept of art**. The main idea is that a genuine work of art always contains a tension between two poles – which can be called the force and the craft. Join our seminar to learn more about them! You don’t need any knowledge about the above-mentioned books and philosophers to participate in our discussion. All relevant material will be presented during the meeting. \*\*\* Like many of our past events, the seminar will take place at the living room of our friend Justin. Everyone is welcome to join. We’ll have a bottle of wine, some flavored water, tea, and light snacks for Sunday. Please feel free to bring any drink or snack you’d like to share! Also, we’ve got a very friendly, well-trained dog who will be happy to see all of you. The name on the buzzer is McCandless, Mainous, and Everett – take the elevator to the 5th floor and it’s the door immediately to the left.

We’re opening our doors for another Make meetup — this time exploring how AI agents are reshaping teams, roles, and leadership. Short talks, honest perspectives, and a panel that skips the hype and gets practical. 👉 Save your spot via the link: https://luma.com/rip-engineering-team

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
