Hi✋ At[ Data Tribes ](https://www.datatribes.nl/)we organise Meetups because we truly care about sharing knowledge both inside and outside the organisation. We believe that it is beneficial to us and to the market as a whole to connect, create, learn and grow together! **The agenda** // Doors open 6.00pm // Drinks and Pizza’s 6.30pm // Start presentations 7.00pm // Guest Speaker Advait Avinash Sowale // Quantifying the Impact of Data Quality on AI-Driven Decision Accuracy // Start networking 9.00pm // End Meetup 9.30pm Greetings, Data Tribes Inc.

**ArnhemJUG** We are excited to announce that we are welcomed by Entrnce for the April meetup. **Agenda** * 17:00 CET walk-in * 17:30 – 18:30 Food and drinks * 18:30 – 19:30 talk: **Better Assertions with AssertJ** by **Tim te Beek** * 19:30 – 19:45 break * 19:45 – 20:45 talk: **Reproducible Builds with Apache Maven** by **Hervé Boutemy** * 20:45 – 21:30 drinks **Better Assertions with AssertJ** Not all testing libraries are equal. Sure they all run your tests, but what happens when they fail? “Expected ‘true’, was ‘false’” won’t help you much. Your choice of library determines whether you can immediately jump to a fix, or first have to debug for more details. And with JUnit 6 and AssertJ 4 around the corner, it's high time for an upgrade! In this talk we'll explore AssertJ, and the fluent assertions API it provides. We'll contrast this to alternatives like JUnit and Hamcrest, and show how subtle differences improve the experience. Now you can finally have unified fluent assertions for all your tests, with a clear path to get there. For existing AssertJ users we will optimize its use to get more expressive assertions and meaningful messages from existing tests. Finally, a quick few OpenRewrite recipes help you apply all these best practices at once, and continuously going forward. **About** **Tim te Beek** Tim te Beek is a staff software engineer at Moderne, which automates software refactoring at scale. He has extensive experience contributing to and presenting on Open Source software within the Java ecosystem. Previously he worked as a consultant specializing in migration engineering and developer productivity. **Reproducible Builds with Apache Maven** Reproducible Builds is listed as a requirement for SLSA security Level 4, to achieve the highest level of confidence and trust in software. Such a level seems far away from achievable practice for normal humans. In reality, most Linux distributions implemented it over the last 10 years. And in the past 6 years, this practice is being extended to Java Open Source projects with great success: more than 6,200 releases from 800 Open Source projects published to Maven Central are publicly proven reproducible (and counting). In this session, we'll demystify Reproducible Builds for Java based on the experience gained while rebuilding these Open Source projects. We'll dig into the tools to improve your Maven builds and check the effective results: the journey is full of great learnings that go far beyond advanced security. **About Hervé Boutemy** Hervé started with Java when it was in beta, built his first Java projects with Make (yes) then Ant: but life changed with Maven 1... Life changed even more when growing from OSS user during working day to becoming an active OSS contributor to Maven 2 during nights and week-ends. Today, Hervé works as Solutions Architect for Sonatype on next steps of the build journey, promoting best-practices around Software Supply Chains. On the OSS front, Hervé is an Apache Software Foundation member and Apache Maven PMC Chair. He's also involved in many advanced projects like CycloneDX, SPDX, sigstore, and Reproducible Builds.

**No skills. No plan. Just colour and flow.** **This is not a painting class.** This is a gentle space to relax, play, and express through color. *Come alone or with your friends.* **No painting or drawing experience required.** We start with *playful warm-up exercises* to get you out of your head and into the moment. Then, we will introduce a few *creative techniques*, for you to try out, experiment & play! In the second half, you’ll shift between: * a *slower, mindful creation round* * a faster, intuitive expression round — supported by simple improv-style prompts to help you let go, react faster, and stay present! **No rules. No perfection. Just flow.** ✨ Note: This is a pay what you feel event ***

We normally design interventions to improve our organizations. What if we flip the script, try to break it, and see how hard that is from the other side? This workshop makes these dynamics visible through game mechanics and shifts perspective by asking a provocative question: "*If you wanted to deliberately ruin this company in the next few years and nobody should explicitly know that this was your plan, what would you do?*" As the "*evil management team*", you get to try to ruin a fictional company and experience the pushback and resistance from the organization, because it wants to stay alive. The game is designed using systems thinking (with a focus on long-term effects) and the 3rd Entity concept from ORSC. In small groups, players receive a short fictional company profile and play through several rounds of "*destructive executive decisions*": strategy shifts, structural changes, policy tweaks, talent moves. During the game, players get to act from the company's perspective as well. This way, we explore how the system adapts, compensates, or even uses the damage to strengthen itself, drawing on ideas from complex systems and organizational inertia. A playful, creative simulation-based workshop with a fresh perspective on the complexity of change in large structures. You will gain a sharper sense of the system's resilience and the different forces involved in change by performing for all the sides involved in or affected by the change. **Come and join the fun.
