It’s a public speaking and leadership skills club. You speak in public. You develop your leadership skills. You grow. You educate yourself. Come try it at 18:30 CEST, 9 June, at Društveni centar Općine Centar, Muhameda Kantardžića 3 OR same time over Zoom 😃 - just message us for the link.

The location of meetup will be announced soon. \*\*\* This group is for people who enjoy hands-on projects and spending time outdoors. Whether you’re into bushcraft, camping, kayaking, or simply being in nature, it’s a place to repair, customize, and create the gear you use on your adventures. Bring any project you like - big or small. That could mean fixing a leaking sleeping pad, patching up a packraft, reinforcing your backpack, sewing extra pockets, or maintaining your gear so it lasts longer. It can also be more creative: sketching in a travel journal, carving, sculpting, or working on portable crafts you enjoy bringing into nature. The goal is simple: meet up, share ideas and skills, and enjoy making and repairing together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. You don’t need to be highly experienced in outdoor activities or travel to join, the group is open to everyone. **Although the focus of the group is on outdoor sports, travel, and nature expeditions, you’re absolutely welcome to join even if the projects or crafts you work on are completely unrelated. Sometimes you just want company, conversation, and a relaxed space to work on your own ideas alongside other people.** Feel free to bring any extra materials, tools, or gear you no longer need - they might find a second life with another participant. This initiative is part of a larger creative and social project - Sketchy Collective. We’re just getting started, experimenting with different meetup formats and creative projects. We’d love for you to follow along for future events, and share your own ideas for meetups or activities you’d like to see us organize. instagram.com/sketchy.collective facebook.com/sketchy.collective meetup.com/sketchy-collective-international

**The event will take place at 15:00 local Sarajevo time.

Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of self-based suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment. Participation fee: 15 € per session Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Upcoming Thursday Sessions for Summer Season: 14.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 4.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 11.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 18.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 25.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 2.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 9.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 23.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 30.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) Zoom link for all sessions: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766267672 Welcome all!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

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!
