TUNER @ SAVOY 8pm - "Late Late" Breakfast - Friday Night Movie
Hi everyone,
I hope you're well!
This movie was heartily recommended at Sundayâs Meetup so letâs go back to the Savoy this month. I hope youâll not yet have had the chance to see the chosen movie yet.
**[TUNER | Official Trailer | Only in Theaters This May](https://youtu.be/rdlOZhl-nSA?si=OzqqaBRYhoJ9ApZ9)**
**TUNER - Screen 04, 8pm (107 mins)**
*âThis crime thriller film, directed by Daniel Roher and written by Roher and Robert Ramsey, stars Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman. It follows a piano tuner, Niki White (Woodall), with a hearing condition that gives him heightened sensitivity to sound. When his mentor Harry (Hoffman) racks up a medical debt, White earns cash to pay it off by using his sensitive hearing to crack safes and becomes embroiled with a criminal group.â*
Henry K. Miller, writing for the British Film Institute, called Tuner *"a beautifully constructed film about beautifully constructed things: pianos, watches, concertos â and safes."*
**Dining:** We will then have dinner beforehand in [Boboâs on Abbey Street](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kFLX3BF9JVUVVVzw5) at 6:30pm. Itâs primarily a really good burger place, but they also do nachos, wings, and salads as well. If you wish to join us for dinner, please post a Comment to be included in the numbers as space is limited.
Note that they do not split bills there so itâs CASH ONLY again for this one.
Ciorcal ComhrĂĄ sa chlub, beginners welcome!
Dear fellow Gaeilgeoiri,
Cead mile failte / a warm welcome to this group of Irish language lovers and enthusiasts. Hope you will enjoy everything it has to offer and feel free to suggest new events, and, why not step in as an event organizer?
What this group is not:
- A group limited to those with perfect proficiency in the language, where any single word of English is banned, and where you will get corrected for every sĂ©imhiĂș that, God forbid, you might be forgetting
What this group is:
- A forum of Gaeilge enthusiasts willing to share their interest and love of the language. We all started learning a language, including our own, from scratch at some point in our lives. Absolute beginners are welcome and should not feel intimidated. Near perfect and native Irish speakers are also welcome to share their vast knowledge of the language. Hopefully this will create a thriving community of lovers of the language at any level.
Beir bua
Alex (organizer)

French Speaking Practice â Real Conversation & Confidence Building
Do you understand French but struggle to speak naturally when itâs time to respond?
Join a relaxed French conversation group (online) where we use a real conversation between 2 native speakers as a way to practise speaking French in a natural and structured way.
This is not a traditional lesson. Itâs a guided conversation space where you practise speaking through real-life content.
## đ° This sessionâs topic : gossip in French
In this session, we will work with a short clip from the French TV show ***ScĂšnes de mĂ©nages***, where a grocery shop owner and one of her customers exchange juicy gossip đ
## đ„ BEFORE THE SESSION
Before the meetup, you will watch a short 1-minute French video clip.
This video will give you key vocabulary and context so you feel more comfortable speaking during the session.
You will also receive a few simple comprehension questions to help you prepare your ideas.
## đŹ DURING THE MEETUP (ONLINE)
We will use this content as a starting point for discussion and speaking practice.
You will be guided through conversation activities to help you :
* Ask for information and request more details naturally in French.
* React spontaneously to gossip and surprising news.
* Retell past events in a simple and chronological way.
* Share rumors or indirect information using expressions like *il paraĂźt queâŠ*
You donât need perfect French â the goal is to speak and build confidence.
## đŁïž ACTIVITY FORMAT
The session will include:
group discussion based on the video
guided speaking questions
interactive conversation practice
a final speaking activity / role-play based on the scenario
## đŻ WHAT YOU WILL IMPROVE
By the end of the session, you will have practised how to:
speak more spontaneously in French
understand and react to real French content
build confidence when expressing ideas
move from âI understandâ to âI can respondâ
## đż ATMOSPHERE
This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome and part of the learning process. The goal is communication, not perfection.
## đ„ LEVEL
Intermediate French learners (you should already understand basic French and be able to form simple sentences).
## â FREE EVENT â FEEDBACK APPRECIATED
This is a free session, and your feedback is very important for me as I build these conversation groups.
At the end of the meetup, Iâll kindly ask participants to leave a short review about their experience â it really helps others decide whether to join future sessions.
## đ© Feel free to join or message me if you have any questions
OpenClaw: Making it useful
âYour OpenClaw is running. It replies. Maybe it's done a few things you've asked it to.
âNow make it genuinely useful.
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register on here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw2](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw2)**
âThis is the second day in the OpenClaw series. We're going deeper: memory that actually persists across conversations, a knowledge base it can draw on, skills that connect it to the tools you already use, and workflows that handle a whole process end to end. These are the things that turn an interesting agent into something you actually rely on.
âSelf-directed, table-group format. You work at your own pace, in your own direction, with people around you doing the same.
â**What we'll work through together**
* âMemory architecture: short-term, long-term, episodic and how to set them up properly
* âKnowledge bases: connecting your own docs and notes so the agent can draw on them
* âGood skills to add: which integrations are worth the effort (Notion, email, calendar, GitHub)
* âGiving access to tools: MCP, APIs, function calling
* âProper workflows: multi-step, conditional, handling a whole process and not just one message
* âSandboxing: running actions safely without breaking things or leaking data
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register on here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw2](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw2)**
âYou don't need to have come to Event 1. If you have OpenClaw running, you're ready for this.
âBring a laptop. Bring your OpenClaw running.

Repair Café at Stoneybatter Festival
We are delighted to be bringing our Repair Café back to [Stoneybatter Festival](https://stoneybatterfestival.ie/) this June.
Tog Hackerspace will be joining the 10th Stoneybatter Festival with a community Repair Café, giving people a chance to bring along broken household items and work with our volunteers to see if they can be fixed.
Do you have broken items at home, small appliances, toys, electronics, household bits and pieces, or something that just needs a bit of care?
No need to throw them away just yet. Bring them along, and our volunteer fixers will do their best to help. We will have tools, materials, and a team of people who enjoy opening things up, figuring out what went wrong, and sharing repair skills along the way.

## Key Info
**What:** Repair Café at Stoneybatter Festival
**When:** Saturday, 20 June 2026, 2 pm â 6 pm
**Where:** Aughrim Street Scout Group, Dublin 7
**Tickets:** Free, booking via Eventbrite
**Book here:** [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/repair-cafe-stoneybatter-festival-by-tog-hackerspace-tickets-1989820913918](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/repair-cafe-stoneybatter-festival-by-tog-hackerspace-tickets-1989820913918)
## What can you bring?
You can bring along small broken items such as:
* Small electrical appliances
* Electronics
* Toys
* Lamps
* Household items
* Other bits and pieces that might be repairable
Safety testing for electrical items will be available.
Please note that we may not be able to fix everything on the day, but we will do our best to diagnose the issue, suggest next steps, or point you towards parts or recycling options where needed.
## What is a Repair Café?
A Repair Café is a community event where people bring broken items and work with skilled volunteers to try to repair them. It is about keeping useful things out of landfill, saving money, learning practical skills, and having a bit of fun along the way.
At a Repair Café, you can:
* Learn how things work
* Pick up practical repair tips
* Meet people interested in sustainability and making
* Give your broken items a second chance
Stoneybatter Festival is a brilliant celebration of local community, culture, creativity, food, music, and sustainability. We are very happy to be part of it again and to bring some repair energy to the weekend.
So dig out those broken treasures and join us in Stoneybatter on Saturday, 20 June. Letâs see what we can fix together.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, weâll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. Weâll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. Weâll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
