Lean & Agile : structurer la performance des équipes tech
Operae Partners, expert du Lean Management dans la Tech, lâIT et les services, accueille Flowcon dans ses locaux parisiens. Operae est membre du groupe de conseil Cubik, dĂ©diĂ© Ă la performance par la transformation des opĂ©rations.
**đ Description**
Dans un contexte oĂč les Ă©quipes engineering doivent dĂ©livrer vite, avec qualitĂ© et un impact mesurable, la question nâest plus âfaut-il ĂȘtre Agile ?â mais : comment structurer un systĂšme de travail rĂ©ellement efficace ?
Le Lean, historiquement centrĂ© sur la crĂ©ation de valeur et lâĂ©limination du gaspillage, apporte un cadre puissant pour repenser lâorganisation du travail.
LâAgile, quant Ă lui, met lâaccent sur lâadaptation, la collaboration et lâamĂ©lioration continue.
Mais comment ces approches se complÚtent-elles concrÚtement dans une équipe tech ?
Comment éviter les rituels déconnectés de la valeur ?
Comment mettre en place une dĂ©marche Lean sans alourdir lâorganisation ?
Lors de cette soirĂ©e, nos deux intervenants partageront leurs retours dâexpĂ©rience sur lâarticulation entre Lean et Agile et sur la mise en place concrĂšte du Lean dans des Ă©quipes engineering.
Lâobjectif : comprendre, questionner, et repartir avec des pistes applicables dans vos organisations.
**ⳠDéroulé de l'évÚnement**

Soirée IA pour le Dev, Docker Agent, Gemini CLI...
Le GDG Cloud Paris vous invite à sa prochaine soirée consacrée à l' IA pour le Dev : Docker Agent, Gemini CLI... chez SFEIR le mardi 17 mars à 18h30.
Merci Ă SFEIR de nous accueillir dans ses locaux. https://www.sfeir.com
au programme:
1) Docker Agent, le couteau suisse agentique de Docker
par David Gageot, Developpeur chez Docker sur les sujets AI
2) L'IA ne fera rien sans nous : Industrialiser et dompter Gemini CLI en équipe
par Hoani Cross, Architect & Team Leader chez SFEIR

4) Networking Pizza/Bieres/Softs
Un grand merci Ă SFEIR de nous accueillir.
DETAILS
1) Docker Agent, le couteau suisse agentique de Docker.
par David Gageot, Developpeur chez Docker sur les sujets AI
LâIA rĂ©volutionne nos mĂ©tiers autour du dĂ©veloppement. Chez Docker, nous jouons les Ă©claireurs et changeons totalement notre façon de travailler. Pour ce faire, nous avons créé Docker Agent.
Docker Agent est un framework agentique qui vous aide à créer vos propres agents : des agents de code, mais pas seulement. Le tout en open source, model-agnostic, souvent sans une ligne de code.
David est Developpeur chez Docker sur les sujets AI (Gordon, MCP Gateway, Docker Agent...). Depuis 20 ans, je rends les développeurs plus productifs.
2) L'IA ne fera rien sans nous : Industrialiser et dompter Gemini CLI en équipe
par Hoani Cross, Architect & Team Leader chez SFEIR
L'intégration d'assistants IA crée trop souvent une fracture entre quelques "early adopters" isolés et le reste des développeurs. Venez découvrir un framework technique et collaboratif - reposant sur une configuration centralisée et 7 niveaux de prompts systÚme - conçu pour harmoniser vos pratiques et embarquer toute l'équipe. L'objectif : partager vos outils (serveurs MCP, agents custom) pour transformer l'expérimentation individuelle en véritable intelligence collective. Parce que l'IA doit nous augmenter et nous faire avancer en peloton, pas nous remplacer !
Hoani travaille dans l'IT depuis plus de 25 ans et tombé amoureux du développement dÚs 10 ans... il y a environ 40 ans. AprÚs une carriÚre bien nourrie, entre France Métropolitaine et la Polynésie Française, son pays d'origine, Hoani décide de rejoindre SFEIR Nantes en 2020, en tant que Senior Lead Dev & Architect puis Engineering Manager. Aujourd'hui, il anime des événements dédiés à l'IA au sein de son agence et accompagne les clients de SFEIR à prendre en main ces nouveaux outils pour faire du développement augmenté.

Atelier collaboratif pour entrepreneurs: Codev
*Atelier de flash co développement · 3 participants · 2h. Gratuit.*
***
Entreprendre, c'est trop souvent rĂ©flĂ©chir seul. Ce sujet qui tourne en boucle, cette dĂ©cision qu'on reporte, ce blocage qu'on n'arrive pas Ă nommer â et personne avec qui vraiment le dĂ©poser.
**Et si 2h avec d'autres entrepreneurs suffisaient Ă t'apporter plus de clartĂ©, des pistes pour avancer â et la satisfaction d'avoir contribuĂ© Ă faire grandir les autres ?**
**Mon invitation**
Un moment humain, chaleureux et collaboratif â "hors du temps", loin du quotidien de nos activitĂ©s. Pour structurer notre rĂ©flexion collective, nous utiliserons la mĂ©thodologie du co dĂ©veloppement professionnel, une approche qui permet d'amĂ©liorer ses pratiques, ses compĂ©tences et son leadership. On ne donne pas de conseils Ă tout va. On rĂ©flĂ©chit ensemble, on co-construit, on tisse du lien. Chacun contribue, chacun grandit.
**Comment ça se passe**
3 participants · 1 sujet par personne · 25 minutes chacun.
Tour Ă tour, chaque participant s'en remet Ă la sagesse du groupe. Le temps de votre tour, vous dĂ©posez votre sujet. Le groupe Ă©coute, questionne, rĂ©flĂ©chit avec vous â pour que vous puissiez, par rĂ©sonance, accĂ©der Ă votre propre clartĂ© et faire Ă©merger vos propres clĂ©s.
Tout le monde repart entendu, soutenu â et ayant vraiment contribuĂ©.
**Venez avec**
Un sujet professionnel rĂ©el â un blocage, un questionnement, une dĂ©cision difficile. Veillez Ă ne pas inclure d'informations confidentielles.
Le lien de connexion vous sera envoyé par message
â ïž Si moins de 2 participants sont inscrits 24h avant l'atelier, je me rĂ©serve le droit d'annuler l'Ă©vĂ©nement.
***
âș 3 participants maximum âș Cet atelier s'adresse particuliĂšrement aux entrepreneurs en phase de lancement ou de dĂ©veloppement â ceux qui construisent, qui cherchent leur chemin, qui avancent pas Ă pas.

https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/billets-paris-alchimique-visite-guidee-dans-la-geographie-sacree-de-paris-1982076584420?aff=oddtdtcreator
Parcourir la ville comme un texte Ă dĂ©chiffrer, oĂč lâarchitecture et les symboles renvoient Ă une quĂȘte de transformation intĂ©rieure.
Paris nâest pas seulement une ville historique ; elle est aussi un territoire symbolique, traversĂ© de lignes et de figures hĂ©ritĂ©es de traditions spirituelles, philosophiques et alchimiques.
Cette visite guidĂ©e propose de parcourir la ville comme un texte Ă dĂ©chiffrer, oĂč lâarchitecture et l'orientation renvoient Ă une quĂȘte de transformation intĂ©rieure.
Sans Ă©sotĂ©risme facile ni fascination mystique, il sâagit dâinterroger ce que ces symboles disent de la relation entre lâhomme, la citĂ© et le sens. Une marche philosophique pour celles et ceux qui pressentent que lâespace urbain peut encore ĂȘtre un lieu dâĂ©preuve de la conscience, et que Paris garde la trace dâune sagesse inscrite dans la pierre, exigeante et inachevĂ©e.

**đĄ Intervenant 1 :**
Gilles Philippart, Software Practice Lead, Confluent
**Discussion :**
Streaming into Iceberg: Kafka Connect vs Flink vs Tableflow
**Résumé :**
Getting streaming data into Iceberg tables sounds simpleâuntil you hit schema evolution, upserts and deletes, small file problems, and commit contention. In this talk, Iâll walk through the real-world challenges of streaming ingestion into Iceberg and compare three common approaches: Kafka Connect, Flinkâs Iceberg sink, and Confluent Tableflow.
**Biographie :**
Gilles works at Confluent as a Software Practice Lead and has over twenty years of experience in the financial sector, primarily developing systems for investment banks. In recent times, he served as a Principal Engineer at a FinTech company, where he built a platform that offers loans to small and medium businesses in the blink of an eye. Through this work, he became a proponent of event-driven architectures with Apache Kafka and is now passionate about guiding others to leverage its advantages. Outside of work, Gilles enjoys reading books, whipping up culinary delights, and playing games with his daughter and wife.
**đĄ Intervenant 2 :**
JB Onofré, Ingénieur logiciel principal, Dremio + Directeur de la fondation Apache
**Discussion :**
From Legacy Queues to Modern Tables: Bridging ActiveMQ, Kafka, and Apache Iceberg
**Résumé :**
Modern data platforms rarely start with a blank slate. Organizations often face the challenge of unifying "classic" messaging systems like **Apache ActiveMQ** with high-throughput streams like **Apache Kafka** to feed a unified analytical layer.
In this session, we explore how to build a robust ingestion pipeline that captures events from diverse sources and commits them into **Apache Iceberg**. We will dive into:
* **The Bridge:** Strategies for migrating or mirroring data from JMS-based ActiveMQ to Kafka.
* **The Sink:** Using Kafka Connect and Icebergâs native capabilities to handle schema evolution and ACID transactions.
* **The Payoff:** How this architecture enables "time-travel" queries and high-performance analytics on streaming data without the "small-files" headache.
**Biographie :** JB est directeur de la fondation Apache. Il est membre de plus de 20 projets Apache et également mentor sur de nombreux podlings. Il est aussi en charge de l'équiipe OSPO chez Dremio.

Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity Schoolâs Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPAâs Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
