Love is in the air…! Our new initiative launches right after this years Valentine’s Day, for all you singles out there! **Slow dating events focused on discovering relationships built on compatibility over superficiality!** No more swiping, skip the bad dates! This is how it works: 1. We arrange matchmaking rendezvous events across the EU. 2. Once you arrive at the meetup, you fill in a fun 5-10 minute questionnaire on [affinitee.eu](https://affinitee.eu/) . We explore different aspects of relationship compatibility using this questionnaire. 3. Our matchmaking platform matches you up against other participants and provides a compatibility score against each of them. 4. Our organizers will then pair you up based on the match scores, and you will then proceed to play a well thought out connection boardgame, where you will be to able explore various aspects of living together as a couple. 5. Once done and if both parties approve, you will then be directed to one of the couple seats to get to know each other better! We believe in conscious, compatibility based matchmaking. Don't waste your time dating the wrong people! Note: As you may imagine, the turnout could potentially be gender imbalanced. If this does indeed happen, not to worry, you can still enjoy a wonderful boardgame night and maybe even find a good friend!

Sick and tired of the LinkedIn hype machine surrounding the 50th newly released Copilot this week, or that one framework switching names 3 times in a single month? Wondering what exactly is going to change (or already has) for you as a software engineering professional before or after the AI bubble pops? In this talk, software/cloud architect, engineering nerd and ex-CTO Kevin takes you through a full circle moment, partially revisiting a talk from this very series of Technights 5 years ago before using a number of actual studies and experiences to help you with those exact questions based on (gasp) data and verified results. We'll discuss where we're at as an industry with plenty of jokes/memes along the way, but hopefully also walk away with the knowledge of what skills, methods and ways of working are provably (still?) effective in this new AIge of engineering for you to practice. **Program:** · 17:00 \- 17:30 \| Walk\-in · 17:30 \- 18:30 \| Diner · 18:30 – 19:30 \| Talk · 19:30 – 21:00 \| Borrel **🗓️ Date**: Maandag 2 maart 2026 **⏰ Time**: 17:00 - 21:00 **📍 Location**: Nevelgaarde 20G, 3436 ZZ Nieuwegein ❗️**NOTE**: Our official name is PSG technauts.

ATTEND IN PERSON OR ON ZOOM In many different areas of philosophy, including ethics and philosophy of mind, difficulties arise from – or are made more intractable by – confusions over the viewpoints from which different claims are being made. Thomas Nagel explored this back in 1986 in The View From Nowhere, a book which focuses particularly on the interplay between subjective viewpoints and the objective viewpoint (ie ‘the view from nowhere in particular’). I was inspired by his book but I’m more interested in the differences between different human subjective viewpoints. I’ll take a look at a few of the many resulting philosophical tangles. In each case I’d also like to ask: what exactly is it to have a particular point of view? And is it more accurate to say that each of us has a point of view or that each of us is a point of view? Rick Lewis is the Founder and Editor of [Philosophy Now](https://philosophynow.org/) magazine, the most widely-read philosophy periodical in the English language. Lecture and discussion!

***In this meetup, we explore why traditional feedback systems fail and what it really takes to build a culture of dialogue.*** ***\*\*\*Attention! This is an in-person event only. We need a minimum of 10 attendees for gaining the most value (besides the hosts). We will notice you in advance for a go/no go around February the 20th, 2026 \*\*\**** *Drawing from real consultancy experience and organizational case studies, we’ll unpack how feedback is shaped by deeply embedded systems of judgment, social conditioning, business culture, and biological responses to threat.* **Cool concrete case studies shared of different organizations with a diversity of challenges.** Let’s be honest: the word “feedback” can make your stomach clench. We brace for awkward conversations that end in painful silence, or we swallow our frustration to keep the peace. We worry about disrupting relationships or being misunderstood, so we often say nothing at all. But what is the true cost of this silence? Misunderstandings fester, trust erodes, and team morale quietly slips away. Ironically, by avoiding feedback to protect our relationships, we often end up creating the very disconnection we feared. As a result, we've developed a deeply unhelpful relationship with feedback treating it as a confrontation to be dreaded rather than a conversation for connection and growth. **Shift consciousness, habits, and leadership behavior at every level. Explore how to create cultures of dialogue instead of confrontation, where people feel seen, heard, and able to grow.** *** ### **Agenda** 17:30 - 18:00 Walk in 18:00 - 18:45 * Welcome & personal story * Current Systematics of Feedback 18:45 - 19:15 FOOOOD 19:15 - 20:30 * Clear Case Studies Example(s) of Feedback Systematics * Change the System of Feedback 20:30 Netwerk + Walk Out 21:00 Please go home you lovely people **Who Should Attend:** * Leaders * HR Professionals * Scrum Masters * Agile Coaches * Change Agents * Anyone who want to move beyond labels and is interested in creating a feedback culture.

Hello architecture enthusiasts! We're excited to announce our next meetup exploring the emerging world of AI agent platforms and orchestration! Join us for an evening where we'll tackle the architectural challenges of moving from standalone AI models to connected, intelligent ecosystems. Makan will share insights on how a capability mesh could solve today's AI orchestration challenges, while Pascal will dive into the practical patterns, protocols, and standards for building AI agent platforms. Come hungry for both knowledge and food — we've got plenty of both, plus drinks and great networking opportunities at OpenValue's Utrecht office. Both sessions will be presented in English. RSVP now for an evening of learning and connection! **Getting Here** Directions: [https://www.openvalue.eu/route/#utrecht](https://www.openvalue.eu/route/#utrecht). Parking is free. The office is within walking distance of Utrecht Zuilen train station. **Agenda** 17:30 Doors open 18:00 Food 18:30 Talk 1: Capability Mesh: Enabling Orchestration through Semantic Integration 19:30 Break 19:45 Talk 2: Building AI Agent Platforms: Architecture, Communication, and Standards 20:45 Drinks, fun, networking **Talk 1: Capability Mesh: Enabling Orchestration through Semantic Integration** *Makan Sepehrifar, Principal Engineer at Code Nomads* Ten years ago, microservices chaos led to "Service Mesh" solving the discoverability problem by replacing network endpoints with meaningful references, enabling scalability and observability. It worked brilliantly for connecting services. Today we're living through the same cycle with Generative AI and Agents, but the chaos is about integration, not networking. The old problems discoverability, scalability, observability are back because orchestrators now pick agents by capability, not name. Plus we face new challenges: explainability of agent actions and the possibility of unintended actions due to the non-deterministic nature of large language models. We need the same evolutionary leap from "Service Mesh" to "Capability Mesh" shifting from technical service contracts to semantic capability integration for autonomous AI. Key Topics and Take Aways: * From OpenAPI to MCP: The Protocol Shift in Agentic AI * MCP Gateways: The New Control Plane * Capability Hierarchies: Composing Agents at Scale * Human-on-the-Loop: Redefining Our Role in Agent Systems * Policy as Code: Governing Autonomous Agents * Observability & Safety: Tracing Agent Behavior *About Makan* Makan Sepehrifar is a software architect whose fascination with the intricacies of organizational behavior and cognitive psychology has led him to redefine the way technology interfaces with human understanding. Looking at software architecture as a craftsmanship process, he realized that the more abstract you look at it, the more complexities arises. His career has been a testament to his commitment to bridging the gap between technology and human behavior, resulting in innovative software solutions that not only work efficiently but also self-adaptive teams that embrace the mindset of agile. **Talk 2: Building AI Agent Platforms: Architecture, Communication, and Standards** *Pascal Wilbrink, Senior Software Engineer at OpenValue* AI systems evolve from standalone models into connected, agent-based ecosystems, new architectural patterns, protocols, and standards are emerging. Concepts such as AGUI, A2A, A2UI, and MCP-based applications are changing how intelligent systems are designed and integrated. This presentation explains how these approaches affect system structure, responsibilities, and interoperability. Using architectural diagrams, it shows how AI agent applications communicate and collaborate through standardized interfaces, and provides guidance on building scalable and maintainable AI platforms. *About Pascal* Pascal is a senior software engineer at OpenValue with over a decade of experience and a strong interest in applied AI and intelligent automation. He enjoys exploring how technology can make developers’ lives easier and software more resilient. When he’s not experimenting with new ideas or building open-source tools, Pascal likes to learn by doing and turning complex problems into practical solutions.

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.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
