**נפתח את השנה עם מיטאפ שווה במיוחד שינסה לגשר על הפערים בין עיצוב, מוצר ובינה מלאכותית.** זה לא ערב של מתודולוגיה אחת נכונה, אלא של נקודות מבט שונות, התלבטויות אמיתיות, ניסיון מהשטח, והרבה כנות לגבי איך הדברים נראים כשעובדים עם כלים חדשים, קצב גבוה וציפיות משתנות. אנחנו מזמינות אתכם לבוא לשמוע, לשאול שאלות, ולצאת עם זוויות מחשבה וכלים שאפשר לקחת ישר לעבודה. **בערב הזה נשמע על:** * איך מגשרים על הפער: ממסכים סטטים לפרוטוטייפים דינמיים * איך תפקיד המעצב משתנה כשבינה מלאכותית נכנסת עמוק לתוך התמונה * איך בונים מוצר לסטרטאפים בשלבים מוקדמים בעולם שרץ מהר מתמיד **האירוע יתקיים במשרדים של חברת סימילרווב בגבעתיים, ביום רביעי 7.1.26 בשעה 19:00 בערב** \* **19:00-19:20 מינגלינג ונשנושים!** \* עומר אבירם **Bridging the Gap: Static Screens to Live Prototypes** \* אנה סטיליאנו **מי המעצב כאן?** \* דוד בלסם **בניית מוצר לסטרטאפים בשלבים מוקדמים** האירוע ישודר לייב לפייסבוק שלנו כך שתוכלו להצטרף מרחוק אם במקרה אתם נניח במדינה אחרת וממש מתגעגעים גם. פרטים נוספים על כל הרצאה תמצאו למטה: נתראה בקרוב! מיכל \-\-\-\-\- **ועכשיו בהרחבה על ההרצאות:** \* **Bridging the Gap: Static Screens to Live Prototypes** מכירים את זה שאתם מייצרים פרוטוטייפ בפיגמה, והכל נראה טוב, אבל כשמנסים לשלב נתונים אמיתיים והתנהגות מורכבת - פתאום משהו לא עובד והכל נהיה מסורבל? בהרצאה אציג איך שימוש בכלי בינה מלאכותית כמו קרסור, מאפשרים לנו לבנות פרוטוטייפ דינמי, מבוסס נתונים אמיתיים ולוגיקות מורכבות כדי לדמות את המוצר האמיתי. נדבר על תהליכי עבודה, דוגמאות פרקטיות וטיפים, שילוב כלים חיצוניים וטכניקות המאפשרות איטרציות ובדיקת פתרונות שונים בקלות. נבין מתי כדאי להשתמש בסוגי הכלים השונים ואת המגבלות שלהם. \* **מי המעצב כאן?** כלי בינה מלאכותית הפכו לחלק בלתי נפרד מתהליך העיצוב, ויחד עם היעילות והמהירות, עלו גם שאלות חדשות: מי מקבל את ההחלטות? מי אחראי על הבחירה? ואיפה עובר הגבול בין עזרה להובלה? בהרצאה נדבר על קבלת החלטות בעיצוב בעידן של בינה מלאכותית: הרגעים שבהם הבחירות מרגישות ברורות מאליהן, איך “קול חכם” נוסף משפיע על שיקול הדעת, ולמה דווקא עכשיו חשוב לעצור ולבחון מחדש את תפקיד המעצב בתוך התהליך. \* **בניית מוצר לסטרטאפים בשלבים מוקדמים** סדנה מיוחדת על בניית מוצר לסטרטאפים בשלבים מוקדמים, אשר תועבר על ידי דוד בלסם, איש מוצר ויזם עם ניסיון בסטרטאפים כמו מליו ו-פרייטוס וממקימי קהילת ה-סיקרט פרודקט קלאב. בסדנה נדבר על בניית מוצרים שבאמת עונים על צרכים אמיתיים של הלקוחות. נבחן את תהליך בניית ה-MVP (בניית מוצר הכרחי מינימאלי), נלמד כיצד לזהות ולהבין את הכאבים האמיתיים של הלקוחות, ונציג שיטות ולידציה יעילות לפתרון. בנוסף דוד יציג איך כל העולם הזה השתנה והתקדם בזכות בינה מלאכותית ואיך הכל רץ יותר מהר.

Date: 2026.01.07 Start: 18:00 \* **Mingling** (30 minutes) \* **Rust is the future of Linux drivers** by [Leon Vak](https://rust.org.il/people/leon-vak) Language: (Hebrew) Length: 60 min I gave a talk about Rust in the Linux kernel back in 2024. Back then, it was mostly an experiment and honestly, there was a lot of debate around it. Even though I was excited, for my daily work—writing DMA and PCIe drivers for our customers—I still stuck with C. The situation felt shaky: one day Linus would say something positive, and the next day a lead maintainer would quit because of the "non-technical nonsense." But while the headlines were messy, the developers kept working quietly and closing the gaps. Fast forward to today, the "experiment" tag is officially gone. With the new Nova driver for NVIDIA and subsystems like Binder already running in Rust on millions of devices, it is no longer a question of "if," but "when." I decided it’s the right time to take a deep dive into what we have today and see if we are finally ready to move our daily driver work from C to Rust.

\#\# Full Agenda From: Rotem Gani \| Chen Amrani \| Efi Merdler Kravitz : \[Hebrew\] **Seize the automation - Turning a One-Off Fix into Org-Wide Automation** ​Every engineering team has that moment: a repetitive, error-prone change that needs to be applied across dozens of repositories. Everyone knows it should be automated — but somehow it never is. ​ This talk tells the real story of how one such "annoying but necessary" fix evolved into a fully-fledged AI-powered automation platform used across an organization. From: Ron Klein [Hebrew] **Use Caching and Hashing to avoid Crashing** ​Sure, your framework has a cache. Your CDN has one too. But do you really know what they’re doing? ​In this session, we’ll build a tiny in-memory cache on purpose - so we can break it, fix it, and understand what real caching systems are actually solving. We’ll explore common failure modes like stale data, race conditions, invalidation pain, and the dreaded thundering herd, then level up with ETags and conditional HTTP requests. ​You’ll leave with a clearer intuition for how caching really works - and how to use it to make your backend faster, calmer, and more resilient.

Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry! We’ve created a great little community of Movie Group friends! Rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve people in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, we’ll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers. PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm. LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter here” on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the majority of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.

But the benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering can provide a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Thanks for your help and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

We're collaborating with Westerville Queer Collective to gather supplies and pack care packages. Head over to their event page to [register](https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-wroejsfn/events/312453970/) officially. We’ll be assembling care packages with food, warm weather supplies, recreational items like books, and resource guides for local unhoused folks. Packages will then be delivered to HEER2SERVE, local nonprofit that has weekly “serves”, when they go out into local encampment areas and deliver needed items and food. Our care packages will be a part of that. WQC will supply containers and food items for the care packages. So this time we are primarily focusing on gathering donations for keeping warm, including up to 50 of the following items: Clean or new socks, hats, scarves and gloves Handwarmers Sanitizing wipes Lighters You are welcome to contribute items or just come and help pack. Leave a comment if you are bringing donations. We can also accept money donations through WQC.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
