Two exciting topics, two very experienced speakers and much networking opportunity. We are very much looking forward to the next DevOps Meetup Zurich. Here's what's planned for the evening: 17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks 18:00 - 18:45 - Building a Culture of Performance in Organizations by Josef Mayrhofer 18:45 - 19:30 - Same Same But Different : New DevSecOps by Kevin S Perera 19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks **Building a Culture of Performance in Organizations** In a world where user experience distinguishes success from failure, organizations are increasingly concerned about how they can attract and retain more users. When digitized products experience performance issues, the stakes are high because engagement rates and sales drop significantly. Today, organizations still waste significant money due to application performance issues. They sprint from one performance failure to the next while technical debt grows. In this presentation, Josef will address pitfalls and successful strategies to transform organizations into performance-first enterprises. After overcoming some challenges that hinder businesses from sharing responsibility for performance, he will present a success story about how performance became part of a major European bank’s DNA. **Josef Mayrhofer** Josef is the founder of Performetriks, a global company specializing in performance engineering and cybersecurity that helps organizations achieve their performance and security goals. With over 20 years of experience optimizing mission-critical systems, Josef has built a reputation as a trusted expert at the crossroads of performance and cybersecurity. He holds a patent and is a speaker at international conferences, where he shares insights on digital performance, cyber resilience, and AI-driven observability. Additionally, Josef is a doctoral candidate at The George Washington University. His research focuses on improving the performance of Fast Flux botnet detection using deep learning. Driven by innovation and purpose, Josef believes that performance goes beyond speed; it encompasses culture, resilience, and ongoing improvement. His work continues to motivate organizations worldwide to make observability the foundation of digital excellence. **Same Same But Different : New DevSecOps** Is the prevalence of GenAI an opportunity for DevSecOps to shift left further than we ever imagined? We are fluid in automation for deployment, test, track & measure. We are seeing an acceleration in design & prototyping. And yet we remain critically sensitive to the parts of the SDLC that sit to the left, the requirements that direct our development vector. So how much further can DevSecOps shift left? And should it? **Kevin S Perera** Part Strategist, Part Architect, Part Planner, Part Builder, Fluent in Automation. Kevin is a hybrid techie, remarkably good at disruptive transformation and general troublemaking across any industry.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. (NOTICE - Location change!) This session will be at the Karl Road Branch of the Columbus Library in the Conference Room 2.

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.

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

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Join the Columbus AI community for our quarterly gathering — a casual, community-focused evening where everyone has a chance to share, learn, and connect. These open mic–style events give anyone in the community up to **5 minutes** to present a project, share a tool, pose a question, or offer a perspective on the evolving AI space. No slides required — just a welcoming space to exchange ideas and keep the local AI conversation moving. If you’d like to take the stage, message **Chris (the organizer)** with a **title and short description** of what you’d like to share. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)
