🎲 Game Night Over Drinks
Join us for a relaxed evening of games, fun, and great company during the week! This is an event open to locals and expats alike-perfect for making new friends while playing card games, chess, and other fun board games. The idea is to play and chill a bit during the week but not to be overwhelmed and still can go back to work for 1 more day before weekend.
📍 **Location:** Adam Coffee Shop
⌚ **Time:** 7:00–9:00 PM
👥 **Vibe:** Chill, social, and lightly competitive (in a fun way!)
🎟 **Entrance Fee:** 10 QAR (cash only)
☕ **Minimum Order:** One drink or food item
We’ll rotate between games and tables depending on the number of participants, giving everyone a chance to meet and play with different people. Feel free to bring your own games to share! Just to support the Cafe for their generosity of hosting us, 1 order of drink/food is a good practice. For those who prefer healthier options, the café offers sugar-free drinks and food.
**Note:**
Due to previous experiences where some attendees did not place any orders and misused shared resources, we have introduced a small entrance fee to help maintain a positive and respectful environment from Feb. The fee will also contribute to supporting the community and providing food for stray cats.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### 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.
