Hike in Lintgen (12 km)
This is around 3 hours hike with some lovely views along the way. There's a bit of stairs in it, but with proper shoes on, it feels nice and easy.
Lintgen Autopedestre (ca 12km)
Dear All,
This weekend suffers from replacement busses and hunting. Does that stop us? Can anything stop us? Do we want to be stopped? I am sure you answer all questions with a strong "NO!!!".
What is my solution to this dilemma? The autopedestre of Lintgen. It looks nice on the map and I don't remember doing it before. I am not old enough for memory losses. Neither are you.
Lunchbreak? Yes, I will look for a good place.
Public transport? L10 direction Mersch from Luxembourg Gare routière at 10:30 to Lintgen, Kräizung at 11:03. You will have to walk a few meters to the meeting point.
Parking? Near meeting point.
Carpool? https://groupcarpool.com/t/kgeajc
Appetite? For 2-3
Burning Spear? https://youtu.be/hocWfu-v3Mg?si=eTAOfrEGFhf6EyAf
Dogs? Welcome to join with or without owners
See you in large numbers on Sunday
Jörg

Gentle Deep Conversations & Coffee: On Growth & Connection
Let’s meet in the new year 2026 for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon.✨
This meetup is for people who enjoy meaningful conversations, emotional awareness, and the kind of authentic exchanges that make you feel both lighter and more alive.
🌟 What to expect
A small circle of open-minded humans, tea or coffee or food in hand, sharing reflections about life, philosophy, psychology, self-reflection, or simply ideas and inspirations that appear out of nowhere.
And this time, I don’t suggest any topic here, because we won’t follow it anyway.😂
Our conversations usually have their own soul and run away happily the moment we try to structure them. 😄
So we will simply follow the feeling softly, naturally, intuitively.
📌 Practical details
📍 Venue: Bouneweger Stuff
📅 Date: Sunday, January 18, 2026
🕒 Time: 15:00 – 18:00
👥 Group size: 12 people (if you can’t join, please cancel so someone else can take the spot)
☕ Drinks/food: Everyone orders and pays individually
If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, and conversations with a life of their own, you’re very welcome to join. ✨

Build Together: A Hands-On Unity Project Workshop
This meetup is a collaborative Unity workshop focused on real projects and shared problem-solving. Instead of talks or presentations, attendees bring a Unity project they’re actively working on and collaborate through discussion, troubleshooting, and hands-on exploration.
The format is flexible and community-driven. You might debug a tricky issue, improve your workflow, explore performance optimizations, or get feedback on architecture, tools, and implementation approaches. Learning happens by doing, asking questions, and helping each other.
**What to Expect:**
* Bring-your-own Unity project (any level)
* Group discussion and peer feedback
* Debugging, optimization, and workflow problem-solving
* Shared tips, best practices, and practical solutions
Example projects may include games, tools, or prototypes—personal or professional.
All experience levels are welcome. Whether you’re just getting started or refining advanced systems, this is a supportive space to learn and build together.
**Food and drinks provided. Join us to learn, collaborate, and connect.**
Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**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
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.

Board games at The Forge
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area!
Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the building that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
NSCoder Night
Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
Software ate the world, Agents are eating Software Engineering
2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped.
This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
Columbus Code & Coffee 82 @ 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!
