United Clusters of Europe: Solving Kubernetes Chaos with SUSE Rancher
**SUSE X I-share:**
**Sprekers:**
* [Hugo de Vries](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugo-de-vries/) (Solution Architect)
* [Bert Boerland](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bertboerland/) (Account Executive)
* [Keown de Koning](https://www.linkedin.com/in/keowndekoning/) (Head of Channel)
**Beschrijving**
''Tijdens deze sessie nemen we je mee door het brede SUSE-portfolio. Van de betrouwbare basis van SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) tot multicluster Kubernetes-beheer met Rancher en zero-trust containerbeveiliging met SUSE Security: SUSE biedt een compleet, onafhankelijk open-source ecosysteem van besturingssysteem tot cloudtechnologieën.
We starten met de basis van SUSE en kijken terug naar de ontwikkeling van een Duitse open-source pionier in 1992 tot een wereldwijde enterprise speler van vandaag. Daarbij prikken we door de marketingverhalen heen en delen we praktijkvoorbeelden van organisaties die het volledige SUSE-portfolio inzetten om complexe infrastructuuruitdagingen op te lossen. Ook laten we zien hoe klanten de overstap maken van een Amerikaans georiënteerde infrastructuur naar een Europees alternatief. Tot slot geven we een live Rancher-demo, waarin je ziet hoe alle componenten naadloos samenwerken om moderne IT-landschappen te beveiligen, beheren en schaalbaar te maken.
Wat kun je verwachten:
* **Het volledige SUSE-verhaal**
Hoe een Europese open-source pionier een complete technologiestack heeft opgebouwd – van operating system tot Kubernetes.
* **Meer dan alleen containers**
Inzicht in het bredere portfolio (Linux & Cloud Native) en waarom dit aansluit bij de behoeften van moderne enterprises. Inclusief mogelijkheden om jezelf hierin te laten opleiden tot specialist.
* **Praktijkvoorbeelden uit de markt**
Hoe organisaties het volledige ecosysteem gebruiken voor stabiliteit, compliance en schaalbaarheid en waarom SUSE steeds vaker de nieuwe standaard wordt.
* **Live demo**
Zie het portfolio in actie en ontdek hoe SUSE de volledige keten verbindt: van infrastructuur tot en met de applicatielaag.
Of je nu infrastructure architect, platform engineer of security specialist bent: sluit aan en ontdek waarom het SUSE-portfolio perfect aansluit op jouw moderne infrastructuurstack!''
*Het programma zal deze avond als volgt zijn:*
* Vanaf 17.15 u: inloop
* Rond 17.30/18.00 u: eten
* 18.30 u: start sessie
* 20.00 u: afsluiting
We zien jullie graag dan!
Agentic Engineering - Patterns and Anti-Patterns by Victor Rentea
The Rabobank Tech Community together with [CodeLab](https://www.meetup.com/codelabjug/) is organizing a Java meetup for our community. Victor Rentea will speak at Rabobank in the evening of July 2nd.
Because of the limited number of seats, please keep your RSVP up-to-date, so we can welcome someone else if you can't make it.
**IMPORTANT:**
Due to Rabobank security measures, we need to present in advance an attendee list with everyone’s full names. This is partly because Rabobank is, well, a bank, but also related to safety measures in case of an emergency. That is why we need to ask you the following:
If you do not use your real full name as profile name at Meetup.com, could you send us your full name in a private message?
The attendee list presented to Rabobank will only be used for visitor's registration at the reception and will not be published anywhere, we only do this to comply with said safety measures.
The meet-up will be held in a non-public area of the building. This means that without proper registration the security team will not be able to let you in.
Hoping for your understanding.

**Talk**
**Agentic Engineering - Patterns and Anti-Patterns**
A compilation of emerging patterns and common pitfalls observed in over 50 companies. From unhealthy context management, naive prompting, unvetted AI slop, and careless supply-chain to self-learning skills, sub-agent orchestration, AI guardrails, and backpressure. Join this talk to cut through the hype, learn from the early adopters of agentic engineering – see what works, what ships better code 3x faster in production, and what fails
**Speaker**
Victor Rentea is a Java Champion and an Independent Trainer delivering intense webinars for dozens of companies worldwide since 2014. His passion is Simple Design, Refactoring, and Unit Testing, about which he regularly talks at top conferences, but also to the European Software Crafters Community that he founded.

Shut Up & Write! [Amsterdam/ IJburg]
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at Factor-ij Amsterdam on Thursday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
11: 15 AM - Quick introductions
11: 30 AM - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
12: 30 PM - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 12:30 pm after the writing is wrapped. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Factor-ij!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Please come with your devices pre-charged, since we probably won't be always sitting somewhere with charging possibilities.
Other Important Details:
Travel by public transportation:
1. Take Tram 26 from the central station Amsterdam, and step out by the last stop.
2. Take bus 66 from the Amsterdam Bijlmer station, step out by Pieter Oosterhuisstraat, and further walk in the direction of the bus till the corner.
FREE Wifi.
Compulsory consumption is not required, but please do order a drink to honor our generous host.

IN-PERSON Book Club Meeting - 'THE SYMPATHIZER' - Viet Thanh Nguyen
'THE SYMPATHIZER' by Viet Thanh Nguyen
'The winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as seven other awards, The Sympathizer is the breakthrough novel of the year. With the pace and suspense of a thriller and prose that has been compared to Graham Greene and Saul Bellow, The Sympathizer is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal. The narrator, a communist double agent, is a man of two minds, a half-French, half-Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the Fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam. The Sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship.'
***Please read the book and join us for a lively discussion (in English) about the contents during our afternoon book club meeting.***

Hiking the Heuvelrug (16 km) - FULL
The Dutch Heuvelrug is a hilly and sandy ridge, running from Hilversum in the north to Rhenen in the south. This National Park is covered in forest, heather and stretches of sand and dunes. On this hike, we will explore the Heuvelrug from Den Dolder. This area is mostly forested, perfect for a (hot) summer’s day!
**Where to meet**: we will meet at **10 am** at train station Den Dolder. We will return to the same train station around 3pm.
**This hike is fully booked.** [You may register on my website for a place on the waitlist.](https://rewildyourself.nu/dutch-nature-hikes/)
