Tired of `git rebase` conflicts? Wish you could edit your commit history without fear? Join us for a hands-on introduction where we'll cover some \`jj\` basics and get to use it in action! \`jj\` is a modern version control system that's compatible with Git but designed from the ground up to be: simpler and easier, but also more powerful ! Pretty bold claim, right ? In this hands-on session, we'll explore: * What jj is and why developers are excited about it * Basic jj commands and how they compare to Git * Setting up and using jj with Git repositories * (yes, you can use it on your existing projects!) * (and, no, the rest of your team doesn't have to adopt it!!) * Core workflows: creating commits, viewing history, and making changes * A quick look at what makes jj different (automatic commits, simpler history editing) **What to bring:** * Your laptop (ideally with \`jj\` [installed](https://docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/install-and-setup/) ) * Curiosity about alternative version control workflows **Who should attend:** Developers of all levels who use Git regularly and are curious about modern alternatives. Whether you're frustrated with Git's complexity or just interested in exploring new tools, this workshop will hopefully entice you to try out something new that will spice up your daily workflows! No prior jj experience required—just familiarity with basic version control concepts. **Sponsors** Our sponsors for this meetup are [Yodeck](https://www.yodeck.com/) \- who are not only kindly providing the venue\, free of charge\, but who will also treat us to some snacks / drinks for the networking session after the meetup\! Do stick around and say hi!

Based on my MBA research, this talk explores the current state of Agile adoption in Greek organizations. Drawing on survey data from executives and Agile team members, it examines how Agile is practiced today, which frameworks are in use, what success looks like and where things quietly start to break down. The research reveals a growing gap between how leaders believe Agile is working and how teams actually experience it. Using a data-driven lens, we explore the real challenges of scaling Agile in Greece, the underestimated role of culture and people, and what it takes to build truly adaptive, innovation-driven organizations. While the data was collected in Greece, the findings are compared with some of Europe’s most mature Agile environments, particularly Denmark and the Netherlands. This comparison places the Greek ecosystem in a broader EU context, distinguishing local constraints from universal Agile challenges and highlighting what can realistically be adapted. **What you’ll take away** * Uncover critical perception gaps, such as the ‘Culture Blind Spot’, that are holding teams back without leadership realizing it. * See the shared roadmap executives and teams actually agree on for scaling Agile beyond pilots and isolated successes * Identify the human factors currently undervalued, contributing to stalled innovation in the majority of organisations and talent loss eventually. * Learn how to move beyond the ‘delivery’ toward healthier, more resilient organizations This session is ideal for leaders, managers, Agile practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of work and organizational agility.

This Friday we socialize and practice our languages in a Scottish Pub in Ampelokipi. 🍻🍕🌭 Beer, pizza and hotdogs! The event is free of charge. You only pay for what you order at the bar.

Tennis time! 🎾 I managed to book 4 hours, **9.00 - 13.00**! I'm in to play all 4 hours. Don't worry, I got the stamina to back my statement up. 😎 You are free to only play for 1-2 hours, if this is what you wish, or more, if you're crazy for tennis like me! Just let me know which hours you prefer. We will play **singles**, and play on rotation (e.g. we play 2 games, then rotate), if we're more than 2 players on the court at any given time. 💪 Some **physical endurance** is **expected and required**. ❗️ Some **technical skill** is **expected and required** \- this is **not** a newbie-friendly event! You don't have to be very good, just not beginner. 🧐 Check this rating system to self-rate your tennis skill: [https://www.doittennis.com/knowledge-center/ntrp-rating-system](https://www.doittennis.com/knowledge-center/ntrp-rating-system) (mine is \~ 4-4.5) ℹ️ I have a spare racket that I can lend, and 5 tennis balls for us to play with. 🚀🎾👀 Any balls launched into orbit are charged with **2€ each**. So, please, don't do it. 🚇 **Location**: The tennis court is located in **Peristeri,** very close to the **Agios Antonios metro station, red line** (10 min by foot). Exact location will be provided for those that are actually going to come, the previous night. ℹ️ Personally, I might be going there **by car**, so I can carpool other attendees, from the Agios Antonios metro station. 💸 **Cost: 5€/hour, per court**. 🕐 Event time! We'll gather outside the entrance of the tennis club **15 minutes prior** to our booked time (e.g. 09.00). To any members that is going to get carpooled: For obvious reasons, please do not be late! 🌧 This event may get cancelled if the **weather is rainy** *(before or during our booked hours - we cannot play in a wet tennis court).* ⚡️ Feel free to follow the group [on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/athenssportsfunactivities/)! ⚡️

**Web Design Decoded: Tools, Practices, and Proven Processes:** **Semantic HTML** At WebDev Columbus, we are exploring some of the most important topics of professional high-end web design and page building. Primarily focused on site building in the WordPress environment, our group explores tools, tips, and techniques for building the best WordPress sites possible. Additionally, we focus on disciplines and technologies that take website design from visually appealing to optimized spaces for delivering you and/or your client's message effectively and with a nod towards extended reach. Each session combines practical demonstrations with real-world insights, giving you actionable knowledge you can apply immediately. Whether you're a seasoned developer looking to enhance your design skills or a newcomer wanting to understand design best practices, this series offers valuable insights for every skill level. **What to expect:** * Hands-on demonstrations of popular design tools * Best practices for design-to-development workflows * Tips for creating responsive, accessible designs * Real-world problem-solving scenarios * Interactive Q&A sessions * Networking opportunities with fellow developers **Each meetup features:** 60 minutes of focused presentation 30 minutes of live demonstrations 30 minutes for questions and discussion **See you there!** Our casual, collaborative environment encourages learning from both presenters and fellow attendees.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

**NEW LOCATION: Improving Office in Franklinton** Physical location: Improving Office 330 Rush Alley Suite #150 Columbus, OH 43215 Schedule: * 6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink.
