Pouruoi l'écologie perd toujours ?
Il nous arrive d’entendre cette formule : nos politiques ne sont pas à la hauteur. C’est évident dans le cas de l’écologie, puisque rien ou si peu n’est fait par nos gouvernements pour enrayer la machine infernale. Mais leur responsabilité, tout comme celle des multinationales et du fameux 1 %, n’est (presque) plus à prouver.
Il existe pourtant d’autres causes, plus discrètes, qui conduisent l’écologie politique à l’échec : celles qui s’enracinent dans son propre camp. Structurellement, l’écologie, fruit de l’environnementalisme, s’est constituée comme une cause des élites. Dès les années 1970, ses militants, les ONG et certains politiques ont fait d’elle un objet de lutte pour privilégiés, morcelable, négociable et, surtout, profitable. Et, ce faisant, ils et elles ont réduit la lutte à une mise en scène, une morale abstraite, éloignée des citoyens et des citoyennes.
À l’heure où les extrêmes droites s’organisent partout pour imposer leurs mots d’ordre identitaires et sécuritaires dans l’agenda politique — au détriment des mesures d’intérêt général pour le climat et la biodiversité — et alors que le discours anti-écologiste (*green backlash*) est porté très haut dans l’espace public, il est temps de contre-attaquer.
Loin de se limiter à un constat d’échec ou à une distribution de bons et mauvais points sur l’action du mouvement écologiste depuis 50 ans, Clément Sénéchal proposera des pistes de solution pour sortir de cette impasse. Solutions qui devront nécessairement passer par une repolitisation du discours écologique, intégrant la question du traitement des inégalités aussi bien dans les pays industrialisés que dans ceux du Sud global.

Clément Sénéchal est un intellectuel et militant français engagé dans les domaines de l’écologie politique et de la critique sociale. Diplômé en sociologie et en philosophie politique, il a occupé le poste de porte-parole climat au sein d’une grande ONG environnementale pendant plusieurs années. Il est également auteur et chroniqueur, contribuant régulièrement à des publications telles que Reporterre et Frustration Magazine.
En 2024, il a publié l’essai *Pourquoi l’écologie perd toujours* aux éditions du Seuil (aujourd’hui disponible en poche ), dans lequel il analyse les raisons structurelles de l’échec des stratégies écologistes dominantes. Dans cet ouvrage, aujourd’hui disponible en poche, il critique notamment la proximité entre certaines ONG environnementales et les grandes entreprises, qu’il considère comme un facteur de dilution des luttes écologistes.
Clément Sénéchal est également actif sur les réseaux sociaux, où il partage ses réflexions sur l’écologie, la politique et les mouvements sociaux. Son parcours illustre un engagement intellectuel et militant en faveur d’une transformation radicale des structures sociales pour répondre aux défis environnementaux contemporains.

Thomas Künneth: Climbing the Codeberg
Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder!
Diesmal haben wir Thomas Künneth mit seinem Talk zum Thema "**Climbing the Codeberg - Some Developer's Thoughts on Leaving GitHub**" zu Gast.
Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort).
* 17:45 Uhr: Einlass
* 18:15 Uhr: Talk
* ab 19:00: Ausklang des Abends
Dank an [codecamp:n](https://www.codecamp-n.com/) für Location, Bier und Pizza!

As developers increasingly prioritize privacy, digital sovereignty, and true open-source values, many are questioning their reliance on corporate-owned platforms like GitHub. Enter Codeberg—a community-driven, non-profit Git hosting platform funded by donations and powered by Forgejo. But is the grass really greener, and how difficult is the transition?
In "Climbing the Codeberg," we’ll explore both the philosophical motivations and the practical realities of leaving GitHub. Walking through a firsthand developer's journey, this talk will guide you through the process of establishing your code’s new home and taking back control of your workflow.
In this session, we will cover:
* The "Why": Understanding the fundamental differences in philosophy and legal structure between a corporate-owned giant and a non-profit, community-led alternative like Codeberg.
* Safe Migration Strategies: Step-by-step insights on migrating repositories (including metadata like issues and releases), proving your identity via Mastodon, and utilizing "tombstoning" techniques to avoid critical security risks like namespace hijacking on your old GitHub account.
* Restoring Automation: Leaving GitHub doesn't mean leaving CI/CD behind. We'll dive into leveling up your new environment by setting up local Codeberg Actions runners, exploring both containerized (Docker) approaches and host-level (act_runner) configurations for architectures like Apple Silicon.
Whether you are ready to make the full leap to a community-owned forge or simply want to explore what true digital sovereignty looks like, this session will equip you with the tools, commands, and insights needed to successfully summit the Codeberg.

We are happy to announce the return of the **LuxBuzz Integration Breakfasts** - a new series of warm, informal morning conversations designed to make life in Luxembourg easier to understand and navigate.
We begin with a topic that touches everyone who arrives in this country:
**Education, Languages and Integration in Luxembourg**
For many newcomers, building a life here means learning how the system works and especially how languages shape everyday experience.

· And how do these elements influence your integration journey?
This first Breakfast is an opportunity to explore these questions together openly and without pressure.

We are delighted to welcome **Lorraine Duong**, foreign language educator and audiovisual project manager at the Institut de formation de l’Éducation nationale (IFEN).
Lorraine brings a unique perspective combining:
* deep knowledge of the Luxembourg education system
* practical experience supporting language learners
* and a genuine passion for helping people integrate with confidence
**☕ What to expect**
* a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere
* practical insights you can actually use
* space to ask your own questions
* meaningful conversations with others navigating a similar journey
**📍 Event details**
**Date:** 27 March 2026
**Time:** 09:00 – 10:30
**Location:** The Office Charlotte, Luxembourg
Participation is limited to keep the discussion personal and dynamic.

James by Percival Everett
Percival Everett writes a brilliant reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the enslaved Jim's point of view.
« When Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he runs away until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck has faked his own death to escape his violent father. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. »
While known as "Jim" to his enslavers, James is a self-educated, articulate man who reclaims his name, "James". He is depicted as simple, credulous, and superstitious, but secretly more literate and erudite than most of the white people around him.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

DoJo (Informal Python Meeting)
**New Dojo Location!**
**Knotty Pine Brewing**
1765 W 3rd Ave,
Columbus, OH 43212
We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works
Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)
CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
American Sign Language Beginners Meetup Group
We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able!
Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
How LLMs Like ChatGPT Actually Work and How to Build With Them
**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.**
We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on:
**How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.**
We’ll cover:
* what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level)
* why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.)
* how people are building real systems with them today
* where things break in practice
This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A.
Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join.
No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems.
We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
