Grid Computing

What if the ancient mystics were right all along, and modern technology is finally catching up? In this session we'll explore the Simulation Hypothesis: the idea that our reality might be a simulation. We are using Rizwan Virk's book partly as a source for this session. We'll look at the convergence between Eastern philosophy (Maya, the Buddhist concept of illusion), Western philosophy (Plato's Cave, Descartes' demon), quantum physics, and video game technology. Whether you find the idea compelling or absurd, it's an interesting lens through which to examine what we mean by "reality". This session will be led by Amelia and James. This is a repeat event. If you went to the session on 16 Jan then please don't sign up for this one. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly.

A pleasant friendly bar in the main floor and a middle sized show venue in the basement. What I have seen had a nice atmosphere and was full of laughter as well. Especially the "Midweek Crisis" on Wednesday was a hilarious show where also little or bigger problems of audience members became funnily solved away.' Stephen* ### Some People Don't Like Us!

**PROJECTE OFICIAL dels amics de Douglas N Adams!** **Aquest esdeveniment marca el llançament a Catalunya de la Guia de la Terra de l'Hitchhiker.** Estem començant a construir una Fellowship global de Hitchhikers: persones que treballen junts per crear guies pràctiques, jocs i experiències d'aprenentatge que ajuden els ciutadans a donar sentit al món i actuar dins d'ell, amb curiositat, humor i cura. *En aquesta primera trobada a Barcelona, farem:* * Compartir l'abast i la intenció del projecte * Explicar en què podria convertir-se l'edició de Catalunya * Explora com els residents locals poden participar com a col·laboradors, editors, narradors, tecnòlegs, amfitrions o curiosos companys *No es tracta d'un producte acabat que es presenta.* *És una invitació a un projecte viu en el seu inici.* **El projecte s'inspira en el treball de Douglas Adams i The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.** L'equip central, amb seu a Londres i connectat amb la propietat intel·lectual original de Hitchhiker, ara s'està acostant als centres culturals de tot el món per convidar a la participació i interpretació locals. La mitologia de l'Hitchhiker, amb el seu amor per múltiples perspectives, l'humor, la narració de la veritat i els salts imaginatius, ofereix un llenguatge compartit que pot ajudar a la gent a repensar com vivim, decidim i cuidem el nostre futur compartit. **Si alguna vegada has sentit que el món necessita millors preguntes, no respostes més fortes, és possible que ja sigui un dels 42.**

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/azure-cbus-2026/

### 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.

**New Dojo Location!** **Draft Day Columbus** 1130 Dublin Road Columbus, OH 43215 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)
