Networking. **🙇‍♀️ Facilitan** * [Gabriele Brambilla](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielebrambilla1989/) \- Data Science Manager at Dow Jones with over a decade of experience building machine learning solutions in complex\, data\-heavy environments\. * [Igor Jauk](www.linkedin.com/in/igor-jauk-phd-643a42113) \- Senior Data Scientist at Dow Jones with about 18 experience in the field of Machine Learning \- from speech technology to NLP\. * About the talk, at Dow Jones, we make information understandable through curation, intelligence tools, and premium journalism. With the rise of Generative AI, we’ve built solutions for information extraction and synthesis that uphold our rigorous standards for output. Join us as we dive deep into the practical challenges of integrating GenAI with strict editorial guidelines and hallucination detection techniques, and explore how we solved them. * [Jeniffer Díaz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenifferdiazgonzalez/) \- Directora de aplicaciones de negocio y líder de producto digital\. En su día a día trabaja entre equipos técnicos y negocio tomando decisiones difíciles sobre qué construir, qué no construir y cómo hacerlo sin romper los sistemas por el camino. En esta charla compartirá aprendizajes reales sobre cómo evaluar si una iniciativa (como la IA) aporta valor de verdad o solo añade complejidad, desde una mirada muy práctica de producto, sistemas y operación. * En cuanto a la charla; La inteligencia artificial promete velocidad, eficiencia y ventajas competitivas. Pero… ¿realmente genera retorno de inversión? En esta charla compartiré tres claves prácticas para evaluar el ROI real de la IA en proyectos reales, desde el producto, el sistema y el negocio, no desde la tecnología. * Identificar el coste real de introducir IA en un producto, más allá de modelos y APIs: procesos, mantenimiento, adopción y deuda técnica. * Medir el impacto real en el sistema completo, no solo en una tarea o componente aislado. * Detectar cuándo una iniciativa de IA genera valor… y cuándo solo añade complejidad al sistema. **🏢 Dónde** Dow Jones: Avenida Diagonal 123\, 7th floor\, 08005\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/jyzF31v7Rt4r3Y5WA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jyzF31v7Rt4r3Y5WA) *Si tenéis problemas para llegar o acceder, contactad a través de comentarios en el meetup.* Queremos agradecer a nuestro sponsor, [Dow Jones](https://www.dowjones.com/) 🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos 🍲 🍕 🍴🥤🧃 ¡Nos vemos allí!

Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.

Este taller es un espacio de aprendizaje y búsqueda creativa. La idea es acompañar procesos personales e ir aprendiendo técnica. Vemos obras de artistas. Un espacio para indaga en nuestro estilo personal. Materiales incluidos. 20 euros la clase/ 60 el mes

Volvemos a la carga con mucho teatro y más ganas que nunca de poder compartir este maravilloso arte con vosotros. Teatro en estado puro al alcance de todos! El nivel inicial tiene una gran importancia en el camino del desarrollo teatral, ya que en este primer contacto con el teatro nos basamos en comprender el hecho teatral en sí. Para ello realizamos una formación actoral básica, basándonos en las técnicas y disciplinas básicas de las artes escénicas, así como en los conocimientos indispensables para cualquier actor. Trabajo de improvisación, voz, expresión corporal, paleta emotiva, escenas, creación y trabajo de personajes, creación propia, desbloqueos etc. Siempre trabajando de una manera lúdica, el alumno podrá investigar las distintas herramientas escénicas que se pueden dar en el espacio teatral, mejorar la expresividad, potenciar la creatividad, el trabajo en grupo, la autoestima, y mucho más. Tomará conciencia de su cuerpo, del espacio, aprenderá de forma práctica como es la relación con los objetos, la creación de personajes y el trabajo de la improvisación, mejorando la expresión corporal y oral. Pero sobretodo DIVERTIRSE HACIENDO TEATRO, ese es nuestro principal objetivo. No os preocupéis si no hay mucha gente apuntada por meetup, la actividad se hace igual porque tenemos más gente apuntada por otros lugares.

*** **Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On March 26, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[Mews](https://developers.mews.com)**! 📍 **Location**: Cloudworks, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 613, 9th Floor. Check in at the ground floor entrance *** 📅 **Agenda** * **19:00 - 19:15** Welcome from the hosts * **19:15 - 20:00** DevOps in Space: Lessons from Low Earth Orbit * **20:00 - 20:45** FinOps from the Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost * **20:45 - 22:30** Networking & Snacks *** 🎤 **Talks & Speakers** * **Title: DevOps in Space: Lessons from Low Earth Orbit** * **Speaker**: **David Jacovkis** * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About:** I started as a sysadmin when workloads ran on bare metal, and Devs were the enemies of Ops. The industry changed, and we changed with it, but at the end of the day, we're still the ones who receive an alert when things stop working. * **Abstract**: Remember when you knew all your servers by name and deployed changes with a single SSH command? Now imagine doing that when your link comes in 10-minute windows every few hours, and bandwidth is a precious commodity measured in kbps. Welcome to DevOps in Space. At Sateliot, our Infrastructure & Software Engineering team works at the intersection of aerospace, telecommunications and software. We build modern distributed systems and then send them to an environment where normal expectations -low latency, immediate feedback, up-to-date systems- simply don’t apply. In this talk I’ll give a high-level tour of the challenges that make space and telco different: intermittent and low-bandwidth connectivity, long feedback loops, constrained devices, and the cultural gaps between aerospace, telco and software teams. I'll also share some adaptations that allow us to apply some of the DevOps processes and tools that have become industry standards. *** * **Title: FinOps from the Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost** * **Speaker**: Julia Lamenza * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About:** Julia is an SRE with 15 years of Linux experience. Obsessed with automation, uptime, and catching flights more than outages * **Abstract**: In many engineering teams, cloud costs are still a surprise that shows up at the end of the month. Infrastructure gets deployed with Terraform, services scale automatically — and only when the bill arrives does someone ask: why are we paying so much? That's where FinOps comes in. *** 🏢 **About our host** **Mews** has been on a mission to build technology that puts people back at the heart of hospitality. Meet their R&D team on [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/company/mewsrnd) or directly on [developers.mews.com](https://developers.mews.com). *** 🔑 **Important Access Note:** Doors open at **18:45**. Please make sure to check in at the **ground floor entrance** upon arrival.

¿De verdad las mujeres "normales" ya no lloramos y facturamos? 💸 ¿Te has puesto a pensar en la escritura como privilegio? Si esto es así: ¿Dónde están las que escriben a pesar de no tener plata? 🤔 Con este club queremos hablar de algo que nos obsesiona: la literatura y el dinero. Cómo el capitalismo monetiza nuestro tiempo y nuestro deseo (Cristina Rivera Garza Dixit) y qué estrategias tenemos las que con grandes esfuerzos llegamos a fin de mes pero queremos reunirnos para hablar de libros o para sentarnos a escribir. 🔥 Esta en nuestra primera propuesta, 6 libros, 6 autoras que piensan la relación entre la escritura y el privilegio, entre la escritura y el zulo, lo popular, aquellas que no se avergüenzan de decir que no vienen de un "barrio bien", que su escritura es una resistencia y su migración no es un cuento de hadas. ❤️‍🔥 Hasta que la escritura deje de ser un privilegio, hasta que la lectura sea un derecho para todxs, hasta que tengamos tiempo y deseo para lo que nos hace latir el corazón. 💜 Gratuito con la compra del libro. Valor sin libro: 5€ Última fecha de sesión: por definir
