**Moving Beyond Demos: Real Problems, Smart Solutions**
**Join us for an engineering meetup that prioritizes architectural depth and practical takeaways. We’re moving past “hello world” demos to tackle real world challenges and the why and how of intelligent quality engineering.**
**In a dynamic, TED-style session, we’ll explore how teams are applying AI to measurably improve key Quality KPIs: enforcing code discipline, reducing blast radius, and strengthening reliability at scale. Expect concrete strategies, real success stories, and a forward-looking view of what quality engineering becomes when AI is implemented with intent not hype.**
**Hosted by JFrog, this meetup brings together industry experts to share proven approaches, technical insights, and what’s next for modern quality engineering.**
**Lecture by Elad Or - SQA Group Manager, Waze (Google)**

**18:45 - 19:15 - Turning a One-Off Fix into Org-Wide Automation** *by Rotem Gani / Efi Merdler-Kravitz / Chen Amrani*
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 Github Copilot Agent powered automation platform used across our organization.
**19:15 - 19:45 - Decouple Your Decoupling: Level-up your GitHub workflows** *by Tom Brovender*
GitHub Actions has made it easy to automate almost anything, but building CI/CD that truly scales across many repositories and teams is still hard. As projects grow, pipelines tend to become tightly tied to specific repos, environments, and assumptions, which makes change slower and harder than it should be.
In this talk, I’ll share how to think about GitHub Actions in a more modular way, so teams can move faster without stepping on each other. You’ll see how small design choices in your workflows can make a big difference in how easy your CI/CD is to grow, maintain, and trust over time.
ברוכים הבאים לעידן החלומות - בינה מלאכותית ותלת ממד
אורן ציזאנה, ראש צוות פיתוח בבנק הפועלים, חוקר כלים מבוססי בינה מלאכותית וחובב הדפסה תלת־ממדית, יספר כיצד נכנסנו אל עידן החלומות - תקופה שבה כל אחד יכול לקבל יכולות יצירה שלא היו אפשריות בעבר.
בהרצאה נסקור את הדרך שעבר העולם הטכנולוגי עד לנקודה שבה כל אדם יכול ליצור בתלת־ממד - בלי רקע הנדסי ובלי שנים של לימוד. אורן ידגים כיצד כלי
בינה מלאכותית חדשים מאפשרים להפוך רעיון למודל תלת־ממדי ולהמשיך משם לאובייקט מודפס. כמו כן נכיר את התהליך המלא: החל מיצירת מודל, התאמות וחשיבה מרחבית ועד שלב ההכנה להדפסה, כולל הרחבה על תחום התלת ממד והצצה לכלי הסלייסינג של מדפסות וההחלטות שמתרגמות רעיון דיגיטלי לאובייקט פיזי. נדבר על החיבור בין דמיון, טכנולוגיה וייצור, על שינוי תפקידו של היוצר ועל איך לחשוב מחוץ לקופסה בעידן שבו כל אחד יכול לעצב ולבנות עולמות.
למבוגרים/ות ונוער (16+).

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Discount Tuesday: GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE at Marcus Crosswoods!
Join us for a CMG Discount Tuesday event to see the hilarious, action-packed and absolutely-bonkers-looking sci-fi-action-comedy, GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE! The film follows a man from the future who recruits diners at an LA restaurant to help combat rogue AI. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event:
GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE: A man from the future arrives at a diner in Los Angeles where he must recruit the precise combination of disgruntled patrons to join him on a one-night quest to save the world from the terminal threat of a rogue artificial intelligence. The film is directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean series) and stars Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, and Juno Temple.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkFW7BZyqkI
EARLY BUZZ AND REVIEWS: Early reviews have been stellar with the film earning a 94% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes! “It offers laughs, thrills, and it’s a thinker; you will not be disappointed.” It’s a “laugh-filled yet incredibly dark and poignant fever dream that pleads for a safer AI tomorrow” and director Gore Verbinski's “command over utter chaos is nothing short of marvelous!”
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:20pm showing and meet in the bar area between 5:45 and 6:00pm! A smaller theater so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! (If we fill it up, we can sometimes persuade them to move it to a larger theater.) One you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments below.
Should be a fun one, Dan
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data**
Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics.
The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth.
The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical.
(note: we are back at Rev1 this month!)
**About Our Speaker**
[Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics.
