Geopolitics, Summer 2026 Edition! A World in Flux! Global Order! Casual Debate..

**“Geopolitics (!) — Summer 2026 and a World in Flux”** Power, Conflict, Alliances, and the Shape of the Global Order The world feels less stable than it did just a few years ago. Wars linger or expand, alliances are tested, and long-standing assumptions about security, globalization, and leadership are breaking down. Summer 2026 doesn’t mark a pause—it marks a moment of tension, transition, and uncertainty. This isn’t a news recap or a prediction exercise. It’s a philosophical and strategic conversation about where the world stands—and what forces are quietly reshaping it. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Are we moving toward a multipolar world—or a more chaotic one? * Ongoing wars, frozen conflicts, and the risk of escalation * The role of great powers vs regional players * Europe’s position between security, values, and dependence * Energy, resources, and the geopolitics of scarcity * Is international law weakening—or merely adapting? * And finally… are we entering a more dangerous era, or just a more honest one? Casual discussion. No background in international relations required—just curiosity and a willingness to look beyond daily headlines. Whether you feel worried, cynical, cautiously hopeful, or unsure—you’re not alone. Let’s take a step back from the noise—and think seriously about the world we’re living in.

[Eric Rico: From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity] (In-Person) #13

Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**). A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out! ***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!*** Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

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, we’ll 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. We’ll 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. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
