Uma Viagem ao Mundo dos Brinquedos
**Uma viagem ao mundo dos brinquedos Sab 10/01 10h**
**R João Brícola 24 , Centro, São Paulo, SP**
Vamos relembrar nossa infância? 🧸🎲🕹
**Exposição:** "Uma viagem ao mundo dos brinquedos" no Farol Santander.
**Valores: R$ 45 (inteira) / R$ 22,50 (meia) / R$ 40,50 (clientes Santander)**
https://www.farolsantander.com.br/sp/ingressos
A ideia é começarmos com um café no Mirante (com comidas e bebidas pagas à parte) e de lá visitarmos todas as exposições disponíveis no Farol.
**O ponto de encontro será no hall do Farol. No dia, estarei lá por volta das 9hs, quando tirarei foto da minha localização.**
O Farol Santander está localizado a 3 minutos da estação São Bento de metrô (saída Rua Boa Vista).

Resenha no Barecito Zona Norte
A ideia do evento é juntar a galera na mesa do bar para tomar umas e jogar conversa fora.
🍺Sobre o bar: ele se chama barecito, é muito perto do metrô para fácil acesso de todos
🧾O local possui comanda individual e tem couvert de 15 reais
No dia vai tocar samba e para os inimigos do fim na mesma avenida tem vários bares e baladas, o host não promete after, mas talvez tenha 😂

Qigong and Breathwork in park
Have you heard of Qigong?
It’s an ancient Chinese movement practice focused on cultivating your inner energy. Rooted in Daoist principles, Qigong is all about flowing instead of forcing, listening to the body rather than pushing through it.
The movements are slow and gentle, yet very intentional. They work along the body’s meridian lines (think acupressure points) and engage the fascia. This unblocks any tension in the body and stored emotions.
It’s not yoga.
It may look a little like Tai Chi, but it isn’t Tai Chi either.
Think of it as meditation in motion — calming and grounding, yet surprisingly energizing. You leave feeling more present, more connected, and more at ease in your body.
Join me to experience it yourself (no experience needed).
If you have any questions, reach me at IG @maggie.breathwork

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group**
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 and Columbus HashiCorp User Group 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!!!

The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward, A WIA Vision Circle
As we step into a new year, many of us are carrying lessons, practices, and questions shaped by the year behind us.
The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward is a warm, facilitated vision circle designed to help us pause together, reflect on what truly worked, and imagine what we want to carry forward into what comes next.
This is not a talk or presentation.
It’s a small, participatory gathering focused on shared reflection, sense-making, and connection.
**Together, we’ll explore:**
* What supported you over the past year — in your work, leadership, or life
* What you’re ready to leave behind
* What you want next January’s version of yourself to be saying
To support reflection in different ways, we’ll also have optional art materials available for anyone who would like to create a simple artifact for their year — a visual or tactile reminder of what they’re carrying forward.
We’ll provide basic art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, paint pens, and small canvases. If you enjoy working with collage or other media, you’re warmly invited to bring magazines, stickers, or your favorite creative materials to use or share. Participation in the creative portion is completely optional.
You don’t need a plan, goals, or polished answers. Curiosity, honesty, and listening are more than enough.
The intention is for everyone to leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired — with a clearer sense of what matters to them and how we can support one another as a community.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
⸻
**What to Expect**
* A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup)
* Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak
* Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving
* Optional creative reflection using simple art materials
* A calm, supportive environment
⸻
**Who This Is For**
Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for thoughtful conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords.
⸻
**Good to Know**
* No preparation required
* Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome
* Creative activities are optional — you can simply listen and reflect
* You’re welcome to bring your own collage or craft materials if you’d like
* Location details will be shared with registered attendees
Art of Connection: An Authentic Relating Circle for Presence & Boundaries
**Practice presence, boundaries, and authentic relating in a warm, beginner-friendly circle for real connection and growth.**
This monthly connection circle offers a warm and welcoming space to deepen your relational skills using the technique of Authentic Relating.
Together, we will practice being present, boundaried, and real with ourselves and with others.
Each month, we focus on essential themes like presence, boundaries, and communication. You'll learn a bit of technique, then have the opportunity to explore and practice with others in a supportive group setting.
This event is open to all and beginner friendly. You’re welcome to come on your own or with your partner(s), though no partner is required to participate. Most of our time will be spent seated in chairs, with optional invitations to stand or move. Your participation is always your choice. Consent, autonomy, and safety are core values in this space.
**[Tickets can be purchased in advance](https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/the-center-for-conscious-connection-4337003) or in person** and are offered on a sliding scale ($22 to $44). After our circle, we’ll enjoy some light snacks and informal social time.

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**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.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.

Columbus Code & Coffee 82 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Doing KPIs Right
**Doing KPIs Right: a KEY to Analytics (and AI!) Impact!**
On the one hand, KPIs are such a Business 101 concept that it may seem a little silly to dedicate an entire session to the topic. On the other hand, KPIs get handled so poorly so often that a case could be made that this meetup could just be one of the most impactful sessions of the entire year!
We’re starting off the year at a new location: [COhatch Upper Arlington](https://www.cohatch.com/locations/columbus/upper-arlington/) but with a familiar speaker, Tim Wilson! We’ll be back at Rev1 in February, when the speaker will presumably not be Tim.
Tim will make the case that effectively measuring performance of projects, campaigns, and initiatives (and even meetups!) should be a foundation for any data analytics program. Topics covered will include: the “two magic questions” of performance measurement, how to help business partners distinguish between outcomes and outputs, and effective tactics for collaboratively establishing KPI targets.
He will also stick his neck out by demonstrating some of these techniques in real-time by measuring whether his talk lives up to the promise of this description!
