**Hello There! And welcome to our June Gophers @ Meta event!** It's immensely exciting that we'll be visiting Meta for our June event, but with great big office comes great responsibility, so it is **CRITICAL THAT YOU HEED THESE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS!** * You MUST bring Government Issued Photo ID with you, matching the name with which you sign up to this event * You MUST complete the NDA that will be emailed to you in advance of the event, before arrival * You MUST be over 18 years old * You MUST NOT record when inside the venue * You MUST wear the lanyard provided to you on the night at all times And needless to say, if you satisfy all of those criteria and manage to make it through security without being tackled, you MUST have a lovely time otherwise you know I'll be giving you a hard stare. A massive thank you to Meta for hosting! See you all there! ==== 📓 **Agenda**📓 ===== (Certain timings and orders may be subject to change) **5:30pm onwards:** Sign-In, Food & Refreshments **6:55pm:** Introduction **7:00pm:** 🗣️ **Jon Bodner: Testing Go: From the Basics to synctest** Testing is fundamental to software engineering and as a language focused on software engineering, Go includes a wide variety of tools to ensure your code is working as expected. I’ll walk through the basics of testing in Go, and then cover some of the more advanced tools: benchmarking, fuzzing, and the new synctest package. **7:40pm:** Raffle and Break **8:00pm: 🗣️** **Oleg Obleukhov: Time @ Meta** Discover how Meta uses Go to build PTP and NTP - open-source, highly efficient time synchronization systems that achieve nanoseconds precision. **8:30pm:** Break **8:40pm: 🗣️** **Simon Emms: Failure Happens. Your Code Shouldn't Care** As Gophers, we expect our code to be retried, restarted and run more than once. The challenge is making that safe and maintainable without layers of defensive plumbing. Temporal lets us write reliable workflows in Go that automatically recover from crashes and restarts, while still looking and feeling like normal Go code. In this talk, I’ll explain how it works and prove it with a live demo that treats failure as just another code path. **9:10pm:** Raffle Winners! **9:30pm:** Pub / Socialize ==== 🎉 **Prizes & Discounts!** 🎉 ===== **JetBrains Raffle!** \- We have 3 free JetBrains Product licenses to give away to some of our lucky attendees\! **Ardan Labs Raffle!** \- We're giving away one course license for Ardan Labs' Ultimate Go Bundle\! **Manning Publications Raffle!** \- We're giving away 4 free Go e\-books\! **45% Manning Publications Discount** \- a massive discount provided by the fine people at Manning\!

We hold two pub evenings a month on the first and third Wednesdays, with all the other Wednesdays being virtual pub evenings. We also normally have a monthly quiz on the last Wednesday of the month, during the virtual pub evening, at about 9pm, where a different member of our group prepares the questions and answers to be used each month. This means that tonight is a virtual pub evening but incorporating a quiz. Contact Roland in advance, preferably by e-mail, so that he can send you a link to click on at the start of the meeting. Please note the different arrangements for the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

AI agents are getting better at writing software. That doesn’t mean the software is getting better. As AI systems become more autonomous, engineering teams face a different set of problems: unreliable outputs, untestable workflows, evaluation bottlenecks, and legacy systems that weren’t designed for any of this. At this Future Form session, we’re looking at what happens when agentic systems collide with production engineering reality. **Speakers:** **Ning Lu, VP, Aladdin Financial Engineering, BlackRock** Ning explores the evolving landscape of LLM evaluation. From static benchmarks to LLM-as-judge systems and agent trajectory review, he’ll break down how engineering teams can evaluate systems that don’t behave deterministically. **Katie Roberts, Technical Director & AI Native Specialist, Nearform** Katie will show how AI-native engineering can be applied inside mature brownfield systems. Using patterns like the Strangler Fig approach, she’ll explore how to isolate risk, generate tests for undocumented code, and evolve legacy architectures without full rewrites. If you’re working with AI agents, legacy systems, or production engineering workflows, this session is for you. Pizza, drinks, and practical AI insights included.

## Details Welcome to the DevSecOps London Gathering June Event on Wednesday 24 June! We bring you two more great speakers, as well as the usual conversations, pizza and beer! 📍 **Hosted at Autogen AI, 123 Pentonville Road, London, N1 9LG** 📅 **Wednesday, 24 June 2026** 🕕 **6:00–8:00 PM** ## **Talk** **Abstracts:** **Talk 1 - AI Pentesting by Andy Hornegold** A talk about Pentesting **Speaker Bio**: **Name:** Andy Hornegold **Title:** Chief Security Technologist at Intruder **Bio:** Andy has a long career in cyber security including a decade in threat simulation and consulting. He’s worked with some of the largest organisations and brands across most industries and sectors, advising how to defend themselves against advanced threat actors. Career highlights include being the Assurance Regional Lead at one of the UK's leading cyber security consultancies, managing a team of 30 cyber security consultants, and helping critical national infrastructure providers stay secure. **Talk 2 - A Deep Dive into SAML by Glyn Wintle** Glyn will explain how SAML works (yes there will be lots of xkcd cartoons), the flaws found in standard deployments and give example in most implementations, walk through some of the attack/defence techniques that work with any xml based protocol and digital signatures before going deeper into some more technobabble just for you. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML, pronounced sam-el) is an XML-based, open-standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. Think enterprise single sign on, used by governments, large companies, web sites, what could possibly go wrong? **Speaker Bio:** Glyn is CTO at Tradecraft. They are security consultancy, specialising in attack. Tradecraft helps organisations to become more secure by breaching their systems in the same way as criminal hackers, and then working with them over the long term to help fix what they find, and to help them get better at finding and fixing things for themselves. Glyn has been in security for over ten years, and before that he used to program. He has appeared before parliament to give evidence on some of the more crazy laws they have introduced connected to the internet, and has worked with the Open Rights Group lobbying on trying to fix some of them.

**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/freehand-machine-embroidery-56/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/freehand-machine-embroidery-56/) **⋆⋆⋆** Join us for a one day workshop devoted to becoming creative and experimental with freehand machine embroidery, even if you are wary of the outcome! If you are confident with a machine you can increase your range of abilities by learning new techniques. Take home your creation as a cushion cover or in a glass frame. Learn from Deborah Andrews, who teaches our basic sewing classes as well as being an artist and Illustrator. Even if you have never used a sewing machine before, with Deborah’s support and encouragement, you will develop techniques using a freehand needle on a domestic machine. **Morning – Part one.** In the morning you will ‘warm up’ by experimenting with ‘Couching’, ‘Applique’ and ‘trapunto’ techniques to enliven your design and enhance your work with interesting ‘3D’ effects. Using a palette of inspiring textiles and coloured threads, you will learn how to control an ordinary sewing machine by guiding the sewing foot to produce stitches that patch, embroider and script under your guidance. **Afternoon – Part two.** After selecting from our furnishing fabric selection or deciding on a plain linen background, you can build a unique creation using your own ideas or adapting our selection of templates if you prefer more structure. We supply coloured threads, an embroidery hoop, a large selection of scrap fabric and soft furnishing weight fabrics and cottons as your surface. You can bring your own fabric if you wish and any sketches and ideas you have for a project. Unleash your creativity and let your ideas emerge in front of your eyes. The use of all tools and materials are included.

This June we're at FundApps offices in HYLO, Bunhill Row. Chris Simon's back in town, and will be joining us to talk about streams and queues; plus Tiago Sousa from SteelEye will be talking about the work they're doing around using AI in comms surveillance. Our hosts at FundApps will be providing drinks and snacks, and there will be plenty of time to chat beforehand and in the pub afterwards. **Chris Simon: It's like 10,000 streams when what you need is a queue** *🎶🎵 A new dev team adopted E-D-A* *Got head of line blocking, on their very first day* *Isn't it ironic, don't you think 🎶🎵* The last few years have seen widespread adoption of Event-Driven Architecture, supported by DDD practices such as event storming. But what does that orange sticky note become when we start implementing our design? Common implementation choices include event sourcing, streaming platforms like Kafka and queuing systems like RabbitMQ. Unfortunately not every orange sticky note has the same operational needs, and many teams remain confused about the differences between these options, resulting in the selection of the wrong paradigm for their needs. This can lead to unnecessary complexity & operational challenges such as head of line blocking, dropped messages, challenges dealing with failed messages, difficulty with adaptive scaling and inadvertently increasing coupling between services. In this talk we'll bring that orange sticky note into the runtime of our system. We’ll start with a deep dive into the similarities and differences between event streaming platforms such as Kafka and queueing systems such as RabbitMq, Azure Service Bus & AWS SNS/SQS. We’ll then look at ways to assess your orange sticky notes to work out which messaging and persistence paradigms suit each one, helping you build more resilient, scalable and loosely coupled event-driven architectures. **Tiago Sousa: AI in Comms Surveillance** In this talk, Tiago shares what it's actually like to build AI for communications surveillance at SteelEye. Financial firms are required to monitor and flag communications for compliance, but making AI work reliably in that context is harder than it sounds. He'll walk through real examples from the trenches: what worked, what didn't, and what he'd do differently. **Tiago Sousa** is a Staff Data Engineer and AI Lead at SteelEye - a platform that helps financial firms monitor and flag communications and trades to stay compliant with regulations. He's spent the last five years building the data and AI systems that make that work. Before that, he did research in bioinformatics, which means he came into fintech from an unusual angle and has the scars to prove it. He's based in Braga, Portugal.

If you are RSVP on meetup, you also need to register on [LUMA](https://luma.com/hdygxmyx) LUMA LINK: https://luma.com/hdygxmyx Agentic AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to production. Building successful AI systems today requires much more than selecting a foundation model. Teams must make decisions around model strategy, RAG, memory architecture, enterprise integrations, deployment infrastructure, governance, performance, cost, reliability, and long-term scalability. Join **[London Agentic AI](https://londonagenticai.com/?utm_source=luma)** and **[Alibaba Cloud](https://www.alibabacloud.com/?utm_source=luma)** for an evening dedicated to the engineering behind modern AI systems along with talks from leadership of [Tomoro AI](https://tomoro.ai/?utm_source=luma) and [Recombine AI](https://recombine.ai/?utm_source=luma). This event brings together AI engineers, founders, technical leaders, and practitioners, CEO/CTOs who are actively building and deploying production AI systems across startups and entprises. If you are building AI-native products, deploying enterprise AI solutions, evaluating open-weight models, or scaling agentic systems into production, this event will provide practical knowledge from people solving these challenges every day. **Speakers** Talk 1: [Alex McLeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmcleman/?utm_source=luma) :**Strategic Solutions Architect, Alibaba Cloud** Alibaba Cloud Strategic Solutions Architect, will walking the model portfolio behind Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, one of the broadest open-weight catalogues in production today. You'll leave with a clear view of which model fits which workload (RAG, agents, fine-tuning, multimodal pipelines, on-prem inference economics), and where Apache 2.0 licensing reshapes your build vs. buy math. Engineering-led conversation. Bring questions. Talk: 2 [Rishabh Sagar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rish-sagar/?utm_source=luma): **Co-founder, Tomoro AI** **AI Systems That Remember: Memory's Role within the Agent Architecture** Memory is what separates a stateless model call from a genuinely useful AI system. In this session, we'll explore why persistent memory is becoming a foundational layer of the harness around modern agentic systems, the infrastructure that shapes how a model behaves without ever touching its weights. Get this right, and you build experiences that compound in value over time. Talk 3: [Stas Bichenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stas-bichenko/?utm_source=luma) : **CEO, Recombine AI** **Auto-generating SDKs for conversational AI** Conversational AI agents are only as good as the data they can access. How do you connect your voice AI to complex enterprise-grade systems? How do you let the non-technical people control the agents that can make API calls? How do you keep conversations natural with high-latency API calls. It's easier than you might think. I'll go through the approach we've chosen at Recombine: generating the AI agent's SDKs automatically from API docs. **Panel Discussion & Audience Q&A** Deploying Agentic AI in Production: What Actually Works?Following the talks, join an interactive panel discussion featuring all speakers, followed by audience Q&A.

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

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.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
