Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community Meetup #7
Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community Meetup #7
**DDSCC Meetup 7** 📅 **Datum:** Vrijdag 27 Maart 2026 🕐 **Tijd:** 12:30 – 17:00 📍 **Locatie:** Rubicon Cloud Advisor, Leusderend 36, 3832 RC, Leusden **Wat kun je verwachten?** **Agenda** * 12:30 – Inloop met koffie en lunch * 13:30 – Opening door DDSCC * 13:45 – Introductie door Rubicon Cloud Advisor * 14:00 – Jasper Oosterveld: With Great Power Comes Great Labeling: Sensitivity Labels in de Praktijk * 14:45 – Pauze * 15:15 – *Jeroen Bijdevier:* Je omgeving op orde voor veilig en optimaal Copilot gebruik * 16:00 – Ronde tafel gesprekken * 16:30 – Borrel & netwerken (tot 17:00 uur) **Session description:** **Jasper Oosterveld - With Great Power Comes Great Labeling: Sensitivity Labels in de Praktijk** Veel organisaties hebben inmiddels sensitivity labels geĂŻmplementeerd als basis voor data security in Microsoft 365. Maar zodra je voorbij de basis komt, ontstaan er nieuwe vragen. Hoe ontwerp je een werkbaar labelmodel? Hoe voorkom je dat gebruikers verdwalen in te veel labels? Wat betekent labeling voor Teams, SharePoint, Data Lifecycle Management en Microsoft 365 Copilot? En waarom gedraagt het platform zich soms nĂ©t anders dan je verwacht? Tijdens deze interactieve sessie deel ik mijn praktijkervaringen met sensitivity labels: keuzes die goed uitpakten, dingen die ik achteraf anders zou doen en de frustraties die je alleen tegenkomt wanneer je labels Ă©cht gaat gebruiken in productie. Dit is nadrukkelijk geen theoretische sessie. Neem je eigen ervaringen, uitdagingen en meningen mee, zodat we samen praktijklessen kunnen uitwisselen en ontdekken hoe we sensitivity labels effectiever kunnen inzetten. **Jeroen Bijdevier - Je omgeving op orde voor veilig en optimaal Copilot gebruik** Copilot ziet het verschil tussen achterhaalde en recente informatie niet. Die zal je dus een beetje moeten helpen. Rechten zijn vaak niet (in detail) op orde. Manueel deze zaken vinden is lastig en tijdrovend. Natuurlijk wil je rapportages hebben van het gebruik. Ergo dataveiligheid op orde en inzicht in het gebruik met Purview.
Design Patterns und DuckDB & Co.
Design Patterns und DuckDB & Co.
**Um was geht es dieses mal?** Dieses Mal haben wir zwei Talks fĂŒr euch! **Performance und Portability in Data Analytics mit DuckDB & Co. - Niklas Niggemann** Moderne Data Teams kĂ€mpfen mit zwei Kernproblemen: Performance und Portability. Dieser Vortrag zeigt anhand umfassender Benchmarks von DuckDB, Polars und Pandas mit DatensĂ€tzen von wenigen Gigabyte bis zu mehreren Terabyte, wie AusfĂŒhrungsmodelle, Dateiorganisation und Speicherverwaltung die Performance beeinflussen. DuckDB liefert konstant niedrigen Speicherverbrauch, Polars erreicht durch Parallelisierung hohe Geschwindigkeiten – doch sobald mehrere Engines „schnell genug" sind, zĂ€hlt FlexibilitĂ€t. Abschließend zeigen wir deswegen, wie Frameworks wie Ibis die analytische Logik von Engines entkoppeln und so lokale Entwicklung, Cloud-Deployment und Plattform-Migrationen ohne teure Neuentwicklungen ermöglichen. **Design Patterns - Wie sie dir helfen, ausdrucksstĂ€rkeren Code zu schreiben - Christian Ambach** Vor ĂŒber 30 Jahren veröffentlichte die Gang-of-Four ihren Klassiker "Design Patterns. Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software". Viele der Muster erfreuen sich heute großer Beliebtheit und es sind eine Menge von Patterns dazugekommen, nicht nur auf Design-, sondern auch auf Architektur- und Organisationsebene. Wusstest Du, dass Du wahrscheinlich schon Design Patterns einsetzt, ohne es zu merken?In diesem Vortrag wird betrachtet, wie bekannte Frameworks und Bibliotheken – zum Beispiel das Spring Framework – auf Design Patterns setzen und wie die Teilnehmer diese Muster vielleicht schon ganz selbstverstĂ€ndlich in ihrem Code verwenden. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf eine Auswahl von Design- und Architekturpatterns, entdecken Good und Bad-Practices und wie man Patterns gezielt einsetzen kann, um Code noch ausdrucksstĂ€rker zu machen. **Hybrides Setup!** Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den RĂ€umen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und GetrĂ€nken und freuen uns gleichzeitig ĂŒber interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. FĂŒr alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchfĂŒhren. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten spĂ€ter, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit fĂŒr persönliches Kennenlernen haben. Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel ](https://www.youtube.com/@codecentricAG)der codecentric AG. **Wichtig - Absage bitte rechtzeitig:** Wir bestellen das Essen bereits 3 Tage vor dem Meetup. Falls ihr doch verhindert sein solltet, bitten wir euch um eine rechtzeitige Absage. Das ist wichtig, damit wir nicht unnötig Essen verschwenden mĂŒssen. Vielen Dank fĂŒr euer VerstĂ€ndnis! **Anreise:** Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige ParkflĂ€chen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere ParkplĂ€tze.

ArnhemJUG - March meetup
ArnhemJUG - March meetup
**ArnhemJUG** We are excited to announce that we are welcomed by Avisi for the March meetup. **Agenda** * 17:00 CET walk-in * 17:30 – 18:30 Food and drinks * 18:30 – 19:30 talk: **Koog your own AI! Delicious recipes** by **Simon Vergauwen** * 19:30 – 19:45 break * 19:45 – 20:45 talk: **Domain-Driven Design** by **Dirk Groot** * 20:45 – 21:30 drinks **Koog your own AI! Delicious recipes** Koog is an open-source Kotlin framework for building robust, and production-ready AI agents. Developed, and battle-tested in their own products by JetBrains! In this session we’ll build an agent, and explore various techniques to tackle different kinds of problems, and complexity. How we can use model-context protocol (MCP) to give our agent access to external tools, and how to build custom tools to integrate with your own systems. How to define flexible graph workflows to design complex agent behaviors. If you're not cooking your own AI Agents yet, you should! Join me and I’ll give you a taste of Koog. **About** **Simon Vergauwen** **Developer Advocate at JetBrains & OSS (arrow-kt) Maintainer** **Software engineer from Antwerp, Belgium.** Interested in everything functional, and Kotlin. Loves OSS, cooking, snowboarding and Fallou **Domain-Driven Design** What name should I give this entity? How should I deal with ambiguous terminology? Where should business rules be implemented? Is this validation part of the domain logic, or does it belong to the application layer? Which entities should be within the scope of this database transaction? In this talk we explore how the **Domain-Driven Design (DDD)** methodology helps answer questions like these. We will cover the key DDD concepts, including **Ubiquitous Language**, **Bounded Context**, **Aggregates**, **Entities**, and **Value Objects**, and discuss how they fit within a software architecture. The session is built around a practical example, so you will not only learn the theory behind DDD, but also see how these concepts can be applied in real-world software development. **About Dirk Groot** I'm a software engineer with more than 25 years of experience. Since my early teens, sofware engineering has been my greatest passion.
