Electronics Night
These are our regular Monday evening electronics nights. Everyone from absolute beginner to experienced is welcome. These evenings are not classes or tutorials, rather a very friendly informal evening.
We have a wide range of people who come. Some are absolute beginners who do not even work or study electronics, but are interested to know more. Others have something that they are already working on. We almost always have some first time visitors and we always give them a tour of the space.
Come in with your Pi, Arduino, or whatever you have. Bring your laptop. Maybe you want to make something, solder, breadboard or use our electronic gear. Maybe you have some vague ideas and just want to get started. Or maybe you’re just curious……if so, it’s fine to come along and just see what others are doing.
If you would like to get even more involved and have the full use of our space, we would be delighted to have you as a full member. Membership brings many benefits.
We are located behind Mr Price and the Bright Lights store on Kylemore Road. We have lots of free parking available.

Abundance Federation Dublin — Platform & Data Infrastructure Working Session
This is the second working session for the Abundance Federation Dublin group. After our February meetup we formed a team of four developers and four data scientists who've been working steadily on the platform and the first public AI dataset pilot. We're now looking to grow the team as the work expands.
**Where we are**
* The Kindness & volunteering platform is live but rough. Profiles, communities, messaging, tasks, quests and incentives all work, but it needs proper attention on both design and architecture before we push it toward a real MVP. Making it easy, coherent and genuinely fun to use matters as much as the engineering underneath — both have to land.
* The first AI dataset pilot (Irish agricultural weed identification, with Transition Year students and adult volunteers) launches later this year. Tooling plans are written; the data team is working through them. The dataset side has real engineering work too — orchestration, pipelines, annotation tooling, and the interfaces volunteers will actually use — so the roles below apply across both teams.
**Who we'd particularly like to meet**
The work right now would especially benefit from:
* UX designers or design-minded developers who care about making real software feel coherent, easy, and enjoyable to use
* Python / Django developers who enjoy growing a real codebase
* Backend developers comfortable with messy real-world systems
* Database architects — we have decisions ahead that would benefit from experienced judgement
* DevOps people who enjoy quietly making things reliable
That said, this is a broad project and there's room for more than just those roles. Frontend developers, data scientists, technical writers, testers, community organisers, and people who just want to help in whatever way makes sense — all welcome. Come along, see what we're doing, and we'll figure out together where you might fit.
People at any stage of their career are welcome. Experience is valuable, but so is persistence and follow-through — on a project like this, the people who keep showing up are the ones who shape what gets built.
**On the night**
* A short walkthrough of where the platform and data work are now (warts and all)
* A clear-eyed look at the design and architectural questions we're working through
* Small-group conversations to figure out what's most useful, what's feasible, and who might want to keep working on what
* Pizza, soft drinks, and an optional pub afterwards for anyone up for it
**Logistics**
* Digital Hub, Dublin
* Wednesday, June 10th, 7–9pm
* Free, in-person, finishing on time at 9pm
* RSVP through Meetup so we can plan numbers
The wider Abundance Federation is a mission-locked civic initiative working on shared digital infrastructure to bring down the cost of essentials over the long term. The platform and the data work are the technical foundations of that — and they'll only be as good as the people who build them.
Come along if you'd like to help shape what gets built.
Weekly Meditation Sits
**Time: 19:30-21:15**
**Venue**: **Oscailt**, **8 Pembroke Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4**. See map and directions [here](https://oscailt.com/contact/).

This session is for the sake of cultivating spiritual friendship amongst practitioners and supporting each other on the Path.
There is **no registration** \- this event operates on a drop\-in basis\.
There is **no charge**, donations are welcome to cover the place.
Please bring a bottle of water along as there will be no tea/snack breaks to allow more time for practice. You may wish to bring a blanket if it is cold. Meditation cushions/chairs will be provided.

Maha Ji Meditation Somatic Vibration - Inter Faith Centre DCU
Spiritual Somatic training is a power tool that supports you in resolving the many different traumas that we carry inside and also all around us. It gives us the opportunity to realize our true potential to overcome anything, by tapping into secret vibration and frequencies that are transformational.
It is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. It emphasizes the importance of bodily sensations and experiences in the healing process. It's an energetic meditation, followed by our silent guided meditation.
Regulating the Nervous System: Trauma often leads to dysregulation of the nervous system, resulting in feelings of anxiety or hyperarousal. The rhythmic movement of somatic vibration can help calm the nervous system, promoting a sense of safety and relaxation.
We also combine Somatic Energy training with sitting healing and guided silent meditation. The intention is finding inner peace that supports the mind, body and spirit and gives a sense of connection to God, nature and Self.
Somatic Healing unlocks the secrets of the Self, as we let go of what we don’t need, and encourage the overall Self to realize its full potential.
**Who should attend:**
* Anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, or burnout
* Professionals seeking better work-life balance
* Individuals interested in mindfulness and self-care
* Anyone looking to improve their mental or emotional wellbeing
* This event is suitable for both beginners seeking an introduction to somatic meditation and seasoned practitioners looking to deepen awareness
**What to expect:**
* Expert advice on meditation and mindfulness techniques
* Movement "Somatic" meditation, accompanied by Somatic techniques
* 11-minute silent guided meditation
* Practical stress-reduction strategies
* Tools for emotional regulation and mental clarity

**Stop Guessing, Start Testing: Performance Engineering on AWS**
Over-provisioned to feel safe? Under-provisioned and hoping for the best? This session makes the case for performance testing as the feedback loop that closes the gap between architecture assumptions and production reality. We'll cover how to map load testing methodologies to specific reliability and cost risks on AWS, simulate diverse traffic patterns across workloads including AI inference and RAG pipelines, and build a repeatable framework for right-sizing with confidence, not gut feel.
6:40 PM - BREAK / NETWORKING
7:00 PM - **Christian Melendez**
**Autoscaling Isn't Set-and-Forget: Tuning KEDA & Karpenter for Real Workloads.** You've deployed KEDA and Karpenter—now what? Most talks stop at "it scales." This one starts there. We'll dive into the advanced configurations, failure modes, and optimization patterns that separate demo clusters from production workloads. On the Karpenter side: Node Disruption Budgets to control voluntary disruptions, how to survive Spot interruptions gracefully, and bootstrap optimizations that shave minutes off node startup. On KEDA: scaling modifiers that combine multiple metrics into smarter decisions, cooldown tuning to prevent thrashing, and the shift from reactive scaling to proactive workload sizing. We'll show how EKS Auto Mode changes the equation—what you get out of the box, what you still need to configure, and how KEDA fits into a managed Karpenter environment.
**8pm - ENDS**
**SPEAK or SPONSOR!**
Speaking/Sponsorship slots available! If you’re designing/building/testing/scaling something interesting on AWS we’d really love to hear from you.

Free Meditation & Yoga - Just show up - we start @ 7.30pm every Tuesday
Hello there!
Learn to Meditate in 2026 - Free 10 Week Ongoing Sahaja Yoga Meditation Course - hosted by Jayant, Violeta, Vivek, Seamus and friends every Tuesday - All Welcome - Join any Week -
The address:
Fringe Lab, Sycamore Building, Sycamore Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, DO2 TD81 - on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 pm until 9:00 pm
With Sahaja Yoga Meditation, we usually sit on chairs to achieve yoga effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats or special clothing.
All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy is hiding in plain sight within us, and it's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable.
It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically, and cannot be paid for.
Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.
If you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it.
Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realise it isn't your typical Meditation. It's much more than just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Sahaja Yoga Meditation has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your way. Our volunteer experts are always available to help.
Ready to plug into your inner energy? A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation. It's all about energy — guaranteed pure and carbon neutral, and you can never have too much of it.
All classes are free. No strings, no catch. Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**!
The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*.
Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations.
Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
