🇬🇧 Automating Atlassian User Management: How to get months of your life back User management in Atlassian Cloud doesn’t have to be endless manual work. Riverty has combined Jira Service Management, Automation, Assets, and a few simple scripts to fully automate license provisioning and removal - plus access to Jira projects, Confluence spaces, and even specific pages. In this session, Andrei will show you how they built it, how it works in practice, and what they learned along the way. You'll walk away with practical ideas you can adapt to your own environment - and significantly reduce admin overhead. Join us to learn from real examples, exchange ideas and walk away with insights you can immediately apply in your team ✨ 🇪🇪 Atlassiani kasutajahalduse automatiseerimine: kuidas võita tagasi mitu kuud oma ajast Atlassian Cloudi kasutajahaldus ei pea olema lõputu käsitöö. Riverty on kombineerinud Jira Service Managementi, Automationi, Assetseid ja mõned lihtsad skriptid, et automatiseerida nii Atlassiani kasutajalitsentside andmist ja eemaldamist kui ka ligipääsude andmist Jira projektidele, Confluence’i ruumidele ja isegi üksikutele lehtedele. Sellel kohtumisel näitab Andrei, kuidas nad selle üles ehitasid, kuidas see päriselt töötab ja mida nad sellel teekonnal õppisid. Saad kaasa praktilised ideed, mida saad oma keskkonnas kohe rakendada ja halduskoormust oluliselt vähendada. Kui soovid saada uusi praktilisi ideid ja kogemuslikku tarkust, siis see üritus on täpselt sinu jaoks. Tule, jaga oma mõtteid ja saa inspiratsiooni ✨ 📍Asukoht Ootame sind Trinidad Wisemani kontoris, 4. korrusel.  🚌 Kohalesõiduvõimalused Lähim bussipeatus on Meistri, kuhu viivad bussid nr 10, 12, 16, 27, 28, 37, 45, 46 ja 61.

For me, the Atlassian Community is not only about tools, but also about people - building connections and supporting each other in solving challenges. Outside of work, I’m passionate about mentoring, coaching, and personal growth. And when I need to recharge, I usually head to the padel court, gym, or my next travel adventure. --- Global Partner Atlassian (http://atlassian.com) Millions of users globally rely on Atlassian products every day for improving software development, project management, collaboration, and code quality.

**Welcome to the Human Design Tallinn Meetup ✨** Join the Intro Meeting to explore what Human Design is, discover its core elements, and understand how they translate into your chart. We’ll dive into the Types and look at practical tools for everyday life: tips on how to master your energy, refine your guidance, expand your influence depending on your Type, and align through your decision-making. This will be explored through examples - your charts. Human Design is not a belief system. It’s a hyper-detailed system to experiment with — a practical framework to see how it works for you. Curious? Come explore and experience it for yourself.

Speech contests are a long-standing tradition in Toastmasters, offering members a platform to challenge themselves, refine their speaking skills, and gain recognition for their progress. Thousands of Toastmasters participate each year in Evaluation and International Speech Contests, competing at various levels—from club contests to Area, Division, and District levels. Winners of the District-level International Speech Contest advance to the quarterfinals, followed by the semifinals, with the ultimate goal of competing in the prestigious World Championship of Public Speaking.

Plus, it’s a great opportunity to meet new people and expand your network! And did we mention? The event is FREE for all participants, and no pre-registration is required!

This is a relaxed, community-driven Unity GameDev meetup. There’s no strict agenda this time — just developers getting together to talk shop, share projects, and exchange ideas. **Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest):** • Frame Debugger & performance tooling • Addressables & additive scene workflows • Input System, localization, responsive UI • AI integration approaches • DevOps & LiveOps experiences • Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing • Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems • Weird Unity quirks we’ve all run into *Nothing is locked in.* Bring a project if you’d like. Bring a question. Bring a lesson learned. Or just come hang out and meet other developers. All skill levels welcome!

Come ready to play. We’re turning dinner into a full-on game night. Card games, competitive chaos, and yes, those long strategic nerd games my friends love to play. We’ll also have Jackbox games on the big screen so everyone can jump in and talk a little trash. There will be pizza. There will be drinks. There will be snacks. There will absolutely be laughter. Pull up, grab a slice, pick a game, and let’s make it a night. \* This will be at someone's house so address will be given night before the event.

Light snacks and water provided but you can buy food and drinks at the bar (alcoholic drink ID required). [https://www.game-arena.co/menu](https://www.game-arena.co/menu) **Attendees:** Don't have a game to show? Not a problem! All are welcomed and invited from all ages and backgrounds. The more we can have to play test our games the better! **Developers:** Do you have a game that you would like to get critical feedback on? Would you like an excuse to work on a game with other talented artists, programmers, musicians, designers, and writers? Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available. Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers.

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.

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!

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.

Try new games, meet new people, and find out what story games are all about! Explore the reaches of space! Witness kingdoms rise and fall! Create and explore tragedies! All within a single game night. We play story games like Fiasco, Kingdom, Polaris and Microscope that encourage everyone at the table to participate creatively. We also have one-shots of indie, OSR, and narrative-focused RPGs such as Apocalypse World, Dread, Lady Blackbird, and Old School Essentials! Everybody's welcome! It doesn't matter if you've never tried story games before or never played roleplaying games at all! Just bring your brain and a good attitude and come try it out! *** **IMPORTANT** * When you arrive look for the marked Story Games Columbus Tables. Each table will have a separate game. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis. * If all tables are full, look for a Facilitator. We will find a way to get you into a game! * There is a flat $3 cover charge for events at Tabletop. *** **Facilitators!!** Please arrive early so that we can get you set up with a table. Please reach out to me ASAP if you would be willing to help facilitate. You can reach me on the SGC Discord here - https://discord.gg/jUTvWUu
