Enterprise Resource Planning

Hello Everyone, For this meetup, I'll present a lightning talk that touches on early reflection in 2020, and where we are now. I am a doctoral candidate at Maynooth university where I work on the ossia.io software. I have been involved with this software for a number of years, and this talk will present its plugin system called Avendish. We sometimes call it a “post library” because it is not really a library.... It has implication well beyond ossia.io, and introduced an approach in 2020 that resembles a number of recent projects leavening c++26 reflections. As always, the good folks at Anseo are graciously letting us use their room! You can get a drink downstairs and bring it up to the room. Avendish git repository : https://github.com/celtera/avendish Avendish Documentation : https://celtera.github.io/avendish Our matrix chat is : https://matrix.to/#/#cppdug:gitter.im And videos of past talks can be found on this peertube instance: https://indymotion.fr/c/cppdug/videos See you then ! Thibaud

Come join me as we go on a guided building tour of the Sean O'Casey Community Centre, St. Mary's Road, East Wall, D03AY74. The building provides social resources and civic representation for the community of the East Wall including a theatre, day-care, creche, educational and recreational facilities. Built on reclaimed land, and surronded by the curved lines of the 19th century railway track and the straight line of the 18th century sea wall It is offset from the Georgian grid parallel with the river Liffey. The site where the project is on the cleared ground of a former school building, used in recent years for community welfare and sports facilities. The site exists as a significant void within the low-rise density of the neighbourhood of two storey terraced houses. **Meeting: Outside the entrance door for 11.45am** **I will collect ten euros per person.** **The tour will start at midday and finish at 1pm.** **We will have lunch in the restaurant from 1.05pm.** **Cost of 3 course lunch is €6 per person, sample menus will be shown in photos.** I look forward to seeing you there.

For our next Tog Science Fiction Book Club, we’ll be reading *Camp Concentration* by Thomas M. Disch. First published in 1968, this dark and thought-provoking novel blends science fiction, politics, and satire. Set in a dystopian future, it explores imprisonment, intelligence, power, and the cost of human progress. It should give us plenty to chat about on the night. We’ll be meeting **in person** at **Tog Hackerspace** on **Tuesday, 28th of April at 7:30 pm**. Whether you’ve read the whole book, only started it, or just want to listen in, you’re very welcome to join us. Our book club is always open to new people, and it’s a great way to discover new science fiction and meet fellow readers. **Book:** *Camp Concentration* by Thomas M. Disch **Date:** Tuesday, 28th April **Time:** 7:30 pm **Location:** Tog Hackerspace Come along for sci-fi, discussion, and good company.

## Details ### **The Vibe** Ditch the WFH screen and reclaim your Tuesday evening. We’re meeting in Hudson Road Park to work on the "Big Moves"—Muscle Ups, Handstands, Front Levers, and Planche. This isn't a gym class; it’s a **community workshop**. I’m an amateur enthusiast, not an expert, and I’m looking for a "tribe" to train with. We’ll use resistance bands and gymnastic rings (I’ll bring a few sets) to break down the physics of these moves and help each other progress. ### **The Vision: Tuesday "Anti-Gravity"** Whether you’re just starting your first push-up or you’re working on a full Planche, all levels are welcome. We focus on: * **Pull/Push Mechanics:** Building the "Engine" for Muscle Ups. * **Core & Tension:** Static holds for Levers and Planche. * **Balance:** Overcoming the fear of being upside down (Handstands). ### **The Plan** * **When:** Every **Tuesday at 7 PM**. (Great way to kill the post-work slump). * **Where:** **Hudson Road Park, Dun Laoghaire/Sandycove**. * **The Flow:** 45-60 mins of training/play. * **The Post-Game:** We’ll head for a quick bite or a "Recovery Tea/Coffee" at a nearby spot in Glasthule or Sandycove afterward. ### **The Safety Logic (The Small Print)** *I am **not** a PT or a certified coach. I am just a guy who loves the sport and wants to share tips. By joining, you are responsible for your own safety and injury prevention. We play hard, but we play smart.* ### **Weather Note** We are weather-dependent. If it’s typical "Dublin Grey," we train. If it’s a total washout, I’ll post an update here by 5:00 PM on the day.

**Power Pages Server Logic: Finally, real backend power** If you’ve built Power Pages portals before, you’ve probably had to juggle JavaScript, Liquid, and Power Automate just to implement what should be simple backend logic. Finally, things are changing, Server-Side Logic introduces a new way to handle business rules, validations, and integrations—securely and in real time—without relying on workarounds. In this session, we’ll break down what this means in practice, when to use it and how it compares to other methods. We’ll also run through a live demo to show how it works end-to-end. bio: **Oliver** **Rodrigues** is a Microsoft Business Application MVP and Power Platform Architect. He’s been working with Portals over the last several years and love to share knowledge and experience with the community. **Prompt to App: Does Copilot Plans Actually Deliver?** In this session, we’ll take a practical look at Copilot Plans in Microsoft Power Apps and see how far it can really go in building apps from a simple prompt. Starting with a real scenario, we’ll generate an app using Copilot, explore what it creates in Microsoft Dataverse, and review where it works well versus where it still needs manual refinement. Expect a live demo, honest observations, and a clear view of whether this is a genuine productivity boost or just a good starting point. **Mohit Chaturvedi** Dynamics 365 and Power Platform Lead at Simply Dynamics ; with 12 years of experience delivering enterprise CRM solutions across sectors including finance, retail, public sector, and manufacturing. Experienced in solution architecture, cloud migrations, and leading cross-functional teams.

***Mountain Skills for Only €120 / course*** Ever wanted to learn the skills you need to become a competent navigator in the Irish mountains, the UK, the Alps or beyond! As a fully qualified mountain guide and course provider for Mountaineering Ireland and the UK, I run Mountain Skills which is a nationally accredited course and is delivered in an upland environment. Hiking in Ireland can be challenging not only because of its wilderness, but the island has very little sign posted hiking trails in the mountains or hills. In addition to this, as being an island in the Atlantic we experience the forces of nature; storms and weather events. In other words, Ireland is probably the best place in Europe to learn a new outdoor skill like Mountain Skills. The aim of this course is to help you learn the skills you need to get out hiking in the hills and mountains independently, safely and responsibly. You will learn how to navigate with confidence by any type of weather conditions. A Mountain Skills course is run over 2 days in an upland environment and covers: Map reading, map description, map scale, contour lines, land and ground features, navigation legs, simple navigation techniques, setting the map, the 5 D, estimation of direction & destination, grid reference, mountain hazards, hypothermia, mountain environment, timing, pacing, route planning, route card, emergency procedures, personal equipment, safe movement skills, river crossing and much more… Some level of fitness is essential in taking part in this course. Each course (MS1 / MS2) is a 20 hour syllabus which includes indoor and outdoor sessions and night navigation (MS2) **A course includes:** Maps and compass provided, tea breaks, course notes, 3 route cards, a free hiking day practice as part of a weekend. **For Only €100 for under 18 and students and €120 for adults.** Accommodations can be provided Feb 21-22 MS1 Comeragh, Co.Waterford Feb 26/March 01 - MS2 in Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow March 21-22 MS1 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow March 28-29 MS2 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow April 09-10 MS1 Glenmalure, Co.

Curious about what Irish SMEs are actually doing with AI? We’re getting together with the folks from The Irish Times, Buymedia, and Coolplanet to look under the hood of their data stacks. They'll be sharing exactly how they use Snowflake AI to clean up messy documents, speed up data engineering, and turn weeks of work into hours. Drop by for some honest talk about what works in the real world, plus food, drinks, and a chance to catch up with the local Snowflake community. **Right Story, Right Reader: Building a Hybrid News Recommendation Engine in Snowflake, Juliana Murphy, The Irish Times** At The Irish Times Group — home to The Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Breaking News, The Echo, and more — we publish hundreds of articles every week. The challenge isn’t the quality of the journalism, but helping readers find the stories most relevant to them, as discovery becomes increasingly fragmented across search, social, and other channels. In this session, Juliana Murphy walks through how The Irish Times built For Me — a pilot personalised content feed delivered three times daily to subscribers — using a fully native Snowflake architecture, with no external ML infrastructure or data movement outside the warehouse. The session covers the full pipeline: converting article text into 1,024-dimensional vector embeddings with Snowflake Cortex, building subscriber preference profiles from behavioural data, and using native vector similarity scoring and task orchestration to generate recommendations end-to-end within the warehouse, with output delivered to subscribers via an S3 stage. Beyond the technical build, we’ll explore the constraints unique to news. Unlike entertainment platforms, journalism must balance personal relevance with information diversity. We’ll show how editorial curation, controlled ranking logic, and user choice are embedded directly into the system design — and how those decisions shape both architecture and outcomes. Key takeaways: • Why editorial and ethical constraints belong in your data architecture, not just your product spec • Building a production-grade recommendation pipeline natively in Snowflake (Tasks, Cortex embeddings, cosine similarity scoring, Python UDFs) • What “hybrid” means in practice: combining ML signals with editorial control • Why domain knowledge matters as much as model performance **Accelerating Data Engineering with Snowflake Cortex Code, Jenny Zhou, Snowflake** This demo showcases Cortex Code, Snowflake’s AI-powered coding agent designed to automate and optimize the end-to-end data development lifecycle. We will demonstrate how Cortex Code moves beyond simple code completion by leveraging platform awareness—integrating your database schema, security context, and execution logs directly into the development workflow. **Extracting Structure from Chaos: Parsing Documents from 400+ Media Sources with Cortex AI at Buymedia, Estella Roberts, Buymedia** At Buymedia, ingesting data from over 400 unique media sources is anything but clean. Every source brings its own document formats, layout quirks, and edge cases that completely break traditional extraction tools. In this session, Estella Roberts shares how Buymedia transformed a manual, error-prone bottleneck into an automated, native pipeline using Snowflake Cortex AI and CORTEX.COMPLETE. We'll dive deep into the architecture, explore the messiest edge cases, and share practical solutions for when unstructured documents refuse to cooperate. Expect less theory, more real-world trade-offs, and actionable lessons on building resilient, modern AI pipelines. **From Sprints to Hours: Building an AI-Powered Data Stack at Coolplanet, Niall Magee, Coolplanet** At Coolplanet, we handle massive volumes of customer data effortlessly. But our internal business data? That started with Google Sheets, a basic BI tool, and a quiet confidence that it would scale. It didn't. In this session, we’ll share our honest journey from a fragile spreadsheet setup to a production-grade modern data stack using Fivetran, dbt, and Snowflake. More importantly, we'll reveal how AI became our ultimate force multiplier, turning sprint-long tasks into hours-long workflows. The highlight of the session is a deep dive into our AI-driven build process. We’ll show you how to take a plain-language brief and immediately generate dbt models, semantic layers, and functional Streamlit dashboards. Key Takeaways: * The AI Workflow: Practical steps to accelerate dbt, YAML, and SQL generation. * The Stack Evolution: Honest lessons from migrating to Fivetran, dbt, and Snowflake. * Beyond Traditional BI: Why we are shifting toward AI-scaffolded Streamlit apps. * Snowflake Cortex: How to ground natural language queries in a governed semantic model. **Location** Clayton Hotel Charlemont **Agenda** 6:00 pm – Food & Networking 6:30 pm – Welcome 6:35 pm – Right Story, Right Reader: Building a Hybrid News Recommendation Engine in Snowflake * [Juliana Murphy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/subiuliana/), The Irish Times 7:05 pm – Accelerating Data Engineering with Snowflake Cortex Code * [Jenny Zhou](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yingying-jenny-zhoudong/), Snowflake 7:25 pm – Break 7:35 pm – Extracting Structure from Chaos: Parsing Documents from 400+ Media Sources with Cortex AI at Buymedia * [Estella Roberts](https://www.linkedin.com/in/estellaroberts/), Buymedia 8:05 pm – From Sprints to Hours: Building an AI-Powered Data Stack at Coolplanet * [Niall Magee](https://www.linkedin.com/in/niall-magee/), Coolplanet 8:35 pm onwards – Drinks & Networking

We are hosting an open **TouchDesigner** meetup with demos, hands-on learning, and space to share work with others using the software. This is part of a series of monthly events in collaboration with **[@noid_lab](https://www.instagram.com/noid_lab/)** typically on the last Wednesday each month in the space, so this month it's 29th April, 7-10pm. **Tickets are free** \- but registration is required to secure your place\. [Click here to register](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/touchdesigner-meetup-dublin-tickets-1987679859968) **Workshops:** In this session we will be hosting two workshops. The first will be run by [Pauric Freeman](https://pauricfreeman.com/), the class will offer a deep dive into instancing in TouchDesigner, breaking down the core principles behind this technique and demonstrating how it can be used to create complex visuals. The session will also explore the integration of MediaPipe, showing how real-time gesture tracking can be used to control instanced systems. Following this, Cailean will be working with ..nodes! but not in the traditional TouchDesigner sense. This small workshop will explore how the behaviour of nodes can be controlled through the Network Editor using Python scripts. **Format:** The session will run for around three hours in a relaxed, hands-on setting. With multiple rooms available at TOG Hackerspace, we can host beginner and advanced activities simultaneously, ensuring everyone gets the most out of the evening. The event will focus on learning, with a combination of scheduled short and long presentations/demonstrations. The last hour will take a more flattened and open approach, allowing the space for people to chat, share, learn, and explore TouchDesigner. Expect an informal, community-driven environment where the format adapts to participants. So if you would like to bring your laptop and learn the basics, share your projects, or connect with other using the software, this meetup offers a welcoming and supportive space to do so. The event is also a great opportunity to meet other creative technologists and artists, and to continue building the growing TouchDesigner community in Ireland.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
