Creative Writing Budapest
**This week's venue: Beer People \| LĂĄzĂĄr utca 7\, Budapest 1065**
We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees.
Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups.
At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup.
Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event.
Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well.
The submission guidelines are as follows:
1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event);
2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup;
3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and,
4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.
An AWS Container Journey (AWS UG NĂŒrnberg 04/26)
**Hey fellow AWS enthusiasts! âš**
This April we welcome **[Philipp Hoyer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipp-hoyer-621555174/)**, Lead Engineer at Rackspace Technology. He'll walk us through a journey of AWS' popular containerization services Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS running on Fargate by discussing which fits best for which use case, where EKS can make you go nuts and when ECS might shines brighter - or vice versa.
**đ Tonight's Agenda**
19:00 - Welcoming
**19:15 - Talk by Phillip**
20:15 - Networking
Thanks to our friends at **[CodeCam:N](https://www.codecamp-n.com/)** who open their offices for us and sponsor food and drinks for this evening.
Looking forward to seeing you đđ»

The talk —ïž
**An AWS Container Journey - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly featuring ECS and EKS**
EKS on Fargate promises fully managed Kubernetes with zero node managementâbut the reality is often more complex than expected. This talk explores the journey of building a production workload on EKS Fargate, starting with the initial motivations and architectural decisions.
It uncovers three non-obvious pitfalls that only surface during real-world implementation, including challenges with load balancing, EFS integration, and logging. For each case, the underlying issues and the required workarounds are dissected to reveal the hidden operational complexity behind the âserverlessâ promise.
Based on these insights, the talk takes a critical look at whether ECS on Fargate would have been the simpler alternative. It provides a concise overview of ECS, highlights its own limitations, and delivers a direct comparison between ECS and EKS.
The session concludes with clear, experience-driven guidance on when to choose which serviceâhelping teams avoid costly assumptions and make better architectural decisions in AWS container environments.
The speaker—ïž
Philipp is a Lead Engineer at Rackspace Technology who enjoys turning complex cloud architectures into solutions that actually work in practice. He started in software development, moved through the DevOps world of pipelines, containers, and Kubernetes, and eventually specialized in AWS.
He has built and operated cloud solutions ranging from big data and streaming platforms to containerized and serverless workloads. With experience in both insurance and automotive, his focus today is on real-world cloud challengesâespecially the ones that donât show up in the docs.

Parenting between worlds
A reflective circle for parents abroad and international couples, led by an integral counselor and parenting expert, offering connection, compassionate understanding, and emotional support across cultures and challenges. (EN/FR spoken)
Do you ever feel that parenting abroad asks more of you than anyone can really see?
Do you ever miss the village you thought you would have around you?
Do you ever feel the weight of holding so much for your children while also trying to hold yourself together?
Do you ever notice how living far from home can make ordinary parenting moments feel heavier, lonelier, or more intense?
Do you ever wonder why small misunderstandings in an international relationship can suddenly feel so big?
Do you ever feel stretched between cultures, languages, expectations, and ways of raising children?
Do you ever long for a place where you do not have to explain so much â where you can simply arrive as you are?
Do you ever feel that parenting abroad brings up parts of you that need support too?
Do you ever wish for more steadiness, more understanding, and more connection in the middle of family life far from home?
Do you ever wonder how much easier it might feel if you did not have to carry it all alone?
Many parents living abroad carry not only the daily realities of raising children, but also the emotional weight of distance, adaptation, cultural difference, and the absence of familiar support. In this circle, we make space for these experiences to be named, shared, and held in a way that brings more clarity, connection, and relief.
**Parenting Between Worlds** is a circle for parents abroad and international couples, rooted in an integral approach to parenting, relationships, and emotional life. It is a space to slow down, reflect, and be supported in the real complexity of raising children between cultures and far from home.
Together, we explore the emotional, relational, and practical challenges of parenting abroad: the loneliness, the pressure, the misunderstandings, the longing for home, and the question of how to stay connected â to yourself, to your partner, and to your children â while living between worlds.
This is not a place where you need to have it all together. It is a place where you can come with what is real. Through guided reflection, shared experience, and thoughtful conversation, we create a safe and supportive space where parents can feel less alone, more resourced, and more able to show up with steadiness and heart. Leave feeling more understood, more grounded, and more connected â to yourself and to the family life you are trying to build.
The events will take place with a minimum of 5 participants. The group is closing after the first session, no new members can join to protect the safe place. At the end of the first session, we will ask you to decide wether you commit to participating on the remaining 2 sessions.

**About the host:** Eszter is a long-time expat, a mother of three, and an integral counselor. She left her home country at the age of 21 to study in Paris, where she first experienced how deeply financial resources â or the lack of them â can shape a personâs life. She began in the expat bubble with her boyfriend, then gradually opened herself to the people and culture around her. She had her first two children in Paris before moving back to Hungary after eight years.
Back in Hungary, she took over her motherâs company while raising children as a single mother after her husband left her. At the same time, her grandmother was living with Alzheimerâs, and her mother was caring for her, which meant Eszter carried the responsibility of helping provide for seven people. Trying to find a way out of this pressure, she moved to what became her second home, the Czech Republic, to join a man who later turned out to be toxic. Despite having three children, one of them still a toddler, she chose to raise them alone rather than remain in an environment that was harmful to them.
After surviving â and eventually thriving â alone with three children in a country whose language was difficult to learn, she took on several jobs. One of them involved guiding tourists, where she discovered her gift for building trust and connection with people within just a few minutes.
When the pandemic made travel impossible, she continued deepening this path by completing a coaching certification. Yet she felt coaching was not gentle enough for the kind of relationship she wanted to offer her clients. That led her to begin a three-year training in integral psychology and become an integral counselor. Because their rage required, she also took on the role of supporting her elderly parents, traveling 500 km twice a month to check on them. Since than she has been living the reality of so-called âsandwich caregiving,â caring both for (the more and more independent) children at home and parents who have become increasingly dependent on her emotional support.
Her parenting journey has also brought her through profound challenges: supporting a daughter caught in an anxiety cycle around visits to a narcissistic father until she could eventually stand up for herself; learning to hold and accept a sonâs digital addiction while, over time, setting clearer limits around how she could support him; and enduring one of the hardest experiences of all, when her other daughter went through amnesia and cut off all emotional relationships, including with her.
These experiences led Eszter into a deep therapeutic journey of her own. Through it, she learned how powerfully defense mechanisms serve to protect life, how reparative emotional experiences â especially those within families â can bring healing, and how even one stable, safe attachment can become a life-giving container for a child shaped by trauma.
Today, her mission is to support parents in being parents. She believes that while therapy can be deeply valuable, the most important factor in a childâs life is a safe relationship with a caregiver. When parents can offer that, they do not only support their own children â they also help interrupt patterns that would otherwise be passed to the next generation. For Eszter, this work is not only about helping the individuals she meets directly, but also about contributing to a healthier future for humanity.
â
Having lived for more than 20 years as an expat in two different countries, she has learned both how to stand strongly on her own feet and how that same self-reliance can come at a cost. She lives with a condition that will likely remain part of her life forever and requires great discipline around food and daily choices. This has taught her something essential: freedom is never the absence of limits. Rather, freedom lies in the tiny moment of awareness between what happens and how we respond to it.
That is the heart of the work she now offers to clients: helping them hold multiple perspectives, become more accepting and compassionate toward their own choices, and meet both inner experience and outer circumstance with greater awareness.
Eszter believes that when parents become aware of their own triggers and can separate them from what belongs to the child, parenting becomes much easier. And when we understand the needs and impulses a child is acting from, we can meet them with more acceptance, more understanding, and more loving guidance â rather than fear, conflict, or control.
â
She sees therapy, in many ways, as a substitute for the good-enough, loving, accepting parent. And one of her deepest intentions is to empower parents to trust that they, too, can become that kind of presence for their child.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
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 arenât 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, youâll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Columbus Code & Coffee 85 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
Itâs 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 arenât 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, youâll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
