Google Developer Group

Scaling a Mendix landscape requires more than just rapid development; it requires a solid foundation. In this Meetup, we will explore the journey towards software architecture when reaching seniority, find out what architecture is, what an architect does, together with some practical examples. **What You’ll Learn** Now you have finished the Mendix game, you played all the cards, harvested all the points and gathered all the badges... so what now? As a seasoned experienced Mendix developer you probably have seen it all. You have build your fair share of microflows, pages, and integrations. You coached your team members and challenged team to be the best version of themselves while enlighten your client with innovative solutions and ideas. What will be your next step or does it all end here or is it Groundhog day all-over? Being a Mendix Developer puts you in a unique start position to explore new endeavours. In this we give an insight in one of plenty exploration opportunities: the life of an Architect. Find out what architecture is, what an architect does, together with some practical examples. You’ll leave the meetup knowing there is an architect in you. The second session explains how Mendix and AI can help companies build better digital solutions. You will hear when Mendix is the right tool, how AI is changing daily work and software development, and what architects should know to design larger systems using Mendix. The presentation also shows how AI agents can be added safely into business processes. Participants will leave with practical guidance on using Mendix to build scalable applications, how to organize teams and roles, and how to support business goals with low‑code and AI. In short, you will learn how to move from small apps to a secure, efficient, AI‑ready Mendix landscape. **Agenda** * **16:00 - 16:30:** 🚶 Walk-in * **16:30 - 17:30**: 🎙️ Presentations & Q&A * **17:30 - 18:30:** 🍽️ Dinner (for in-person attendees – don’t forget to RSVP with your dietary preferences!) * **18:30 - 20:00:** 🍻 Drinks & Networking **Speakers** 🎤 Zefanja Kleuters - Sopra Steria Mendix Expert with a wide array of experience in development and architecture. 🎤 Andreas Lennevi - Mendix Andreas is an Enterprise Architect with extensive background experience in Mendix and AI **About this event** This is an in-person event hosted at the Sopra Steria office in Nieuwegein.

Hi Gophers! Unser nächstes Treffen findet am **Mittwoch, 11.02.2026** statt! 🎉 [Christian Budde](https://github.com/meko-christian/) von [MeKo Manufacturing](http://www.meko.de/) wird uns mitnehmen auf eine Zeitreise durch verschiedene Git-Repos und uns Tools an die Hand geben, mit denen wir auch in der eigenen Codebasis auf Zeitreise zu gehen können. Denn Git vergisst nichts. Wir lesen das Repo als Telemetrie: aggregieren, normalisieren und visualisieren - und schauen, welche Metriken Auskunft zu Fossilien im Code und Team-Dynamik liefern. Wir treffen uns um **18 Uhr** bei [functional](https://functional.team/) (Drostestr. 16, 30163 Hannover), vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber! Mit dem Vortrag starten wir um **18:30 Uhr**. Danach wollen wir wie immer gemeinsam über Erfahrungen plaudern, voneinander lernen und den Abend gemütlich ausklingen lassen. Wir freuen uns auf dich! \*\*\*\*\*\* Hi Gophers, Our next meeting will take place on **Wednesday, 11 February 2026**. [Christian Budde](https://github.com/meko-christian/) from [MeKo Manufacturing](http://www.meko.de/) will take us on a journey through time via various Git repositories and provide us with tools that we can use to travel through time in our own code base. Because Git never forgets anything. We read the repo as telemetry: aggregating, normalising and visualising – and looking at which metrics provide information about fossils in the code and team dynamics. The talk will be in German, when necessary we can switch to English. We’ll meet at [functional](https://functional.team/) (Drostestr. 16, 30163 Hannover) at **6:00 PM** — big thanks to our hosts! The talk will start at **6:30 PM**, followed by our usual casual get-together to share experiences, learn from each other, and enjoy the evening.

#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session# **Title**: No Other Choice **Language**: Korean **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 139 min **Director**: Park Chan-wook **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-no-other-choice/ **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/141172/ **Synopsis**: *No Other Choice* is the new film by Park Chan-wook (*Oldboy*, *The Handmaiden*, *Decision to Leave*). The latest box office hit from South Korea combines black comedy and cinematic mastery in a sociopolitical thriller. After 25 years of loyal service, Man-su (Lee Byung Hun, Squid Game) loses his good job as supervisor of a paper factory when it falls into foreign hands. When finding a new job proves more difficult than expected, Man-su and his family are forced to drastically change their lifestyle. In a desperate attempt to come out on top at his next job interview, Man-su decides to eliminate the competition. How far will you go when there is no other choice? *No Other Choice* premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won the International Audience Award at the Toronto Film Festival. The Korean Oscar entry is on the shortlist for Best International Film. **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!

We zien dat AI inmiddels door veel mensen en organisaties wordt gebruikt, vooral voor tekst, plannen en ideeën. Tegelijkertijd merken we dat dit gebruik vaak onzeker en oppervlakkig blijft. Mensen experimenteren, maar twijfelen: * Klopt dit wel? * Gebruik ik AI “goed”? * Haal ik er echt voordeel uit, of kost het vooral tijd? De kern van het probleem is niet een gebrek aan tools of kennis, maar een gebrek aan grip, overzicht en vertrouwen in het eigen oordeel bij het werken met AI. **Wat houdt deze workshop in?** We willen een kleinschalige pilot-workshop (halve dag) organiseren waarin we professionals helpen om: * AI anders te leren zien (als denkpartner, niet als antwoordmachine) * Bewuster vragen te stellen en context te geven * AI‑output te beoordelen in plaats van blind te volgen Het is nadrukkelijk geen technische training en geen overzicht van tools. Het is een leerervaring die zich richt op denken, beoordelen en professioneel gebruik. **Voor wie is dit bedoeld?** De Training richt zich op: * Niet-technische managers en professionals * Die veel werken met tekst, plannen en besluitvorming * Die AI al gebruiken (bijv. ChatGPT), maar daar nog te weinig zekerheid en rendement uit halen **Wat maakt deze aanpak anders?** * Interactief en herkenbaar: deelnemers werken met hun eigen praktijk en leren van elkaar * Beperkt en scherp: geen overload, maar drie kerninzichten * Veilig en menselijk: twijfel wordt genormaliseerd, niet weggepoetst Deelnemers weten na afloop wat ze “maandag anders doen” **Pilot2** Na een succesvolle eerste pilot op 16 januari hebben we weer verbeteringen aangebracht voor deze pilot. We verwachten dan ook eerlijke feedback om deze workshop nog gerichter in te kunnen zetten om professionals meer bewust te maken van de mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden van AI. Deze workshop wordt verzorgd door Edgar Stormbroek en Ziryan Salayi 9:00 9:30 Inloop 9:30 - 12:00 AI in praktijk 12:00 - 13:00 Lunch 13:00 - 14:00 Vervolg AI in praktijk 14:00 - 14:30 Afronding en feedback Aanmelden op: https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/tickets-ai-essentials-for-non-it-professionals-1980623807124?aff=oddtdtcreator&_gl=1%2A1r9ydzt%2A_up%2AMQ..%2A_ga%2AODU5MzQzMDcyLjE3NzAzNzU0ODI.%2A_ga_TQVES5V6SH%2AczE3NzAzNzU0ODIkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzAzNzU0ODIkajYwJGwwJGgw

Je bent vanaf 19:30 welkom. * De avond duurt tot ongeveer 21:30. Voel je vrij om daarna het gesprek met andere deelnemers voort te zetten op een andere locatie (café/bar/kroeg). * Graag op tijd de RSVP in te vullen i.v.m. beperkte plaatsen.

Hopelijk zien we elkaar weer en mocht je nog vragen hebben dan hoor ik het graag natuurlijk. P.S. locatie is thuis bij Sam

Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers.

## **Making Smart Money Decisions in Relationships** *Live expert discussion + facilitated breakout circles on 'Love & Money'* RSVP (**https://luma.com/b3dphgts)** Money is rarely just about numbers. It’s about who decides. Who carries responsibility. Who plans ahead — and who assumes things will work out. This Valentine’s FinFit Circle session is ***for women who want to build relationships — new or ongoing — that are loving, fair, and financially secure***, without being naïve, pessimistic, or afraid to ask real questions. Whether you’re dating, in a long-term commitment, separating, or starting again, this conversation helps you think clearly about money before emotions or circumstances decide for you. *** ## **What this session is really about** This live FinFit Circle session explores how money shapes relationships in practice — through everyday decisions and conversations. Together, we’ll look at: * **Where money decisions actually get made** (often earlier than we think) * **Which assumptions tend to create tension or imbalance over time** * **Which questions, financial and legal arrangements, and boundaries matter most across different stages of relationships**, while you still have room to choose differently *** ## **Three expert lenses, one grounded conversation** Money in relationships doesn’t sit in one domain — which is why this session brings together emotional, financial, and legal perspectives: * **[Stephanie Clifford-Kroon](https://clifford-kroon-coaching.lovable.app/about)**, Certified Relationship Coach * **[Nadam Schmidt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadamschmidt/)**, Certified Financial Planner * **[Siham Maachi](https://silkadvocaten.nl/en/team/siham-maachi/)**, International Family Lawyer & Solicitor *** ## **What you’ll walk away with** * **Clarity on your money patterns** and how they show up in relationships * Key questions and **practical tips** **to discuss money constructively** with a (future) partner * ​Ways to think about **shared vs individual finances**, including what’s smart, why, and tradeoffs * **Legal realities** worth knowing early (agreements, rights, timing) * **Perspective and connection** from women navigating similar questions *** ## **How the session works** * **60-minute live fireside conversation** * **30-minute interactive breakout circles** (4–6 women) **Location:** FinFit Circle · Online *** ## **Contribution** This session is **€30**. If you’re able, you can **pay it forward** by sponsoring another woman’s place at the same introductory rate, helping keep these conversations accessible in the FinFit community. *** 👉 **Reserve your spot: https://luma.com/b3dphgts**
