Golang June @ Atlassian

**What I Learnt Writing a Carbon Awareness Skill for Claude**
(short talk)
Having recently left my senior IC job in tech, I wanted to take some time to pursue green software principles, in **particular** how they apply to our use of AI. Since I'm an engineer, and engineers learn by doing; I decided to build an MCP server using sustainable software practices, and have it serve up a skill that would let an LLM ask what **its** carbon footprint had been for the conversation so far.
The talk describes what I built and why, and how the implementation **and** infrastructure were a breeze **compared** to finding some real numbers to back up the carbon equivalence calculation.
**๐ค Ryan Djurovich**
**How I built Podplane - an Open Source PaaS running Kubernetes on Object Storage**
About Podplane:
Want to deploy your app easily and securely on AWS, Google Cloud, or Proxmox? Podplane is an Open Source Platform-as-a-Service built on Kubernetes with all state stored in Object Storage. It consists of a CLI, etcd alternative ([netsy.dev](http://netsy.dev)), auth server ([easy-oidc.dev](http://easy-oidc.dev)), and next-gen auto-scaler ([nstance.dev](http://nstance.dev)) - all written in Go.

Waterfalls of Otways rainforest (4 spots - road trip)
[Instagram: Road Trips by The Dancing Voyager: Ron Singh](https://www.instagram.com/the_dancing_voyager_ron_trips)
Sunshine forecast! Spontaneous day trip to see the waterfalls of the Otways rainforest! Very short notice! These are always fun!
Over 70 road trips done in 5 years! I run 3 Meetup groups (shown on my profile). All are part of my second passion project.
This road trip is for people new to Australia who have not been to this location (International Students, Working Holiday Makers and tourists)! No evidence is required. I will trust you!
**Details given below in sections: (1) Questions / (2) Road trip itinerary / (3) Payment / (4) Responsibility / (5) Breaks / (6) Weather / (7) Phone charging / (8) Contact**
**\-\-\- \(1\) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS \-\-\-**
**Your questions for me:** Why is the total fee so low at $20, covering a new, large rental (SUV), fuel and driver, on something that seems really high quality and well planned, like a private tour company? Sounds too good to be true or that there is a catch. Is this genuine?
**My answers to you:** Because this project is my community service to give back. I explain this further below. The low fee is just a formality to confirm your place, so that I know you are serious on attending.
This is genuine. Over 70 road trips done in 5 years! I have created precious memories for many people new to Australia. Photos on Instagram link further above.
**\-\-\- \(2\) ROAD TRIP SUMMARY AND ITINERARY \-\-\-**
Day trip to the waterfalls of Otways rainforest. A truly inspiring rainforest! Sights and sounds to fill you with peace!
**Itinerary: Stevensons Falls - Beauchamp Falls - The Redwoods Otways - Hopetoun Falls - Colac**
**Meeting point: Fed Square, 8:45 am**. Back there by **8:45 pm**. Meet by the steps (main entrance, opposite the Swanston Street tram stop).
**\-\-\- \(3\) PAYMENT \-\-\-**
**Total fee: $20 in total (no other costs). This covers a new, large rental (SUV), fuel and driver.**
**Eventbrite link for payment:**
[https://otways-road-trip.eventbrite.com.au](https://otways-road-trip.eventbrite.com.au/)
**Cancellations:** If I cancel the road trip for any unforeseen issues, a full refund will be given. If you cancel, there is no refund.
**Why is the fee so low?**
The low fee is just a formality. It might sound too good to be true or that there is a catch. There is no catch. I am simply someone who has been giving back for many years. I playfully call this project a โMelbourne travel secretโ!
There are people in this world who want to genuinely give back without any expectations because they are truly fulfilled and grateful for what they have. I am one of those people. This is my community service. I am not doing this for money and I never have. Money cannot buy passion.
The nature of majestic Australia helped me find peace and passion and I want to give back by sharing that inspiring nature with people new to this country. If they are also inspired by that nature, then that is my reward. There is no hidden agenda in doing this project.
The reason I am being quite upfront is because in this day and age, there is always a catch when people do something like this. There is none with me and I am not selling or promoting anything. I do not need anything because I have peace, passion and fulfilment. I have everything. I am truly humbled and grateful.
Photos from road trips are on Instagram link below:

**\-\-\- \(4\) RESPONSIBILITY\, LIABILITY\, SAFETY \-\-\-**
As your driver, I am responsible and liable for your safety while we are in the vehicle. Passengers are insured as per the Australian law.
For times we are outside the vehicle, we then become responsible for our own liability and safety, just like every other capable adult in society.
**\-\-\- \(5\) BREAKS/MEALS \-\-\-**
There will be many breaks for sightseeing/walks. I will stop at places where food/snacks will be sold but you are welcome to bring your own as well. There will be a lunch break at either a cafe or takeaway shop.
**\-\-\- \(6\) WEATHER AND WHAT TO WEAR \-\-\-**
I plan events when weather looks good but please also see itinerary for location details and check the forecast to dress accordingly. My advice is to always be prepared! Recommend to have something to cover you if rain suddenly appears or if winds suddenly get cool. Also recommend to carry sunscreen and a hat.
Please also wear good, comfortable shoes that can provide protection from water (in case there are muddy areas). You can bring many things, as the vehicle will have a lot of storage space.
My road trips do not have a lot of long walks. The focus is on sightseeing, relaxing and appreciating the beauty of nature.
**\-\-\- \(7\) PHONE CHARGING \-\-\-**
Please charge your phone before joining. In the past, people have taken lots of videos and photos and used up their batteries! You can bring your charging cable if you want. The vehicle will have various charging ports.
**\-\-\- \(8\) CONTACT \-\-\-**
If you need to contact me, please reach out through Meetup, Eventbrite or Instagram. If you wanted my mobile number, please let me know.

The Hitchhikerโs Guide to Redundancy: a "mostly harmless" survival manual
๐ธ๐ธ **The Hitchhiker's guide to redundancy: a 'mostly harmless' manual for surviving the professional void** ๐ธ๐ธ
What do you do when your career is unexpectedly demolished to make way for a corporate bypass? Too many professionals treat redundancy like the end of the universe, spiralling into the bureaucratic nebula of unemployment without a map. This session chronicles a six-month odyssey through the unknown, transforming a vulnerable period of professional upheaval into a practical, comedic survival guide.
**What youโll hear:**
โจ **How not to panic:** How to steady your ship when the corporate ground disappears beneath you
โจ **What to pack:** Cultivating the core resilience and mindsets needed to navigate sudden career transitions
โจ **Deploying your networking Babel Fish:** Translating your experience into a language the market actually understands
โจ **Navigating the bureaucratic nebula:** Managing the identity shift, the job search logistics, and the administrative void without losing your sanity
โจ **Embarking on your next chapter:** Turning an unexpected full stop into a launching pad for a career that actually fits your trajectory
As long as you're packing resilience to brace the knocks (and your sense of humour), youโll never truly be lost in space. A vulnerable, funny, and no-BS roadmap to surviving the void and finding your way back to solid ground.
**๐๐ผ The Speaker**
โจ **Alex Clarke** is a Product and UX designer with over 8 years of experience, who after spending years building a successful professional track record, found himself facing the ultimate corporate plot twist: sudden redundancy. Alexโs story is a highly common and relevant reality for many professionals today, as organisations face mounting economic pressures to cut costs and restructure. Alex speaks candidly, sharing raw, hilarious and deeply practical truths about what it takes to pivot after a setback. By turning his own unexpected transition into a survival guide for the current job market, Alex proves that losing a job doesn't mean losing your direction.
Alexโs story has a happy ending too- as heโs happily found a new job as an Incubation Designer for Coles. Down, down, prices are down. Please. ๐
๐ **The details:**
* **Date:** 6 pm, 11 June
* **Host:** Melbourne Design Thinking Meetup
* **Special Guests:** Alex Clarke
* **Refreshments included:** Pizza and fizz!

Melbourne Biz Apps User Group | Launch Event
**Join us at the Melbourne Biz Apps User Group: Launch Event!** ๐
We've been working hard behind the scenes, and the day is finally here. Come celebrate the launch of Melbourne's newest Biz Apps community with us.
**๐ค Featured Session: Vendor Onboarding Agent with Copilot Studio**
*Presented by Dharanidharan - Microsoft MVP, Engineering Lead*
Vendor onboarding is one of those processes that quietly eats hours โ manual document checks, back-and-forth approvals, risk assessments done in spreadsheets. There's a better way.
Dharanidharan will walk us through how to build an enterprise-grade AI agent that handles vendor onboarding end-to-end, from document upload through to automated risk assessment and manager and compliance approvals. Everything tracked. Everything auditable.
**Built using:**
* Copilot Studio for conversational onboarding
* AI Builder for automated document extraction
* Power Automate for risk scoring and approvals
* Dataverse and model-driven apps for full auditability
This is a reusable pattern for anyone working with document-heavy, compliance-driven processes. Real architecture. Real implementation.
**โก AI Bytes**
Before we dive in, we've got some fun community activities lined up to get you inspired, warmed up, and ready to geek out. Come ready to participate!
**๐ Food, Drinks and Networking**
Good food, good drinks, and good people, and we'll have plenty of time on the night to mingle, connect, and meet your fellow Biz Apps practitioners in Melbourne.
**This event is for you if you:**

* Are curious about intelligent automation at enterprise scale
* Just want to meet other Biz Apps practitioners in Melbourne

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, weโll 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. Weโll 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. Weโll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

All backgrounds are welcome.
Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the worldโs largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping whatโs possible. Since then, weโve built a suite of AIโdriven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomesโaccelerating benefits decisions for our Nationโs Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcomeโdriven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

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!
