Después de los 2 primeros meetup realizados nos hemos dado cuenta que la mejor manera de proceder por ahora es reunirnos para conocernos y así generar pequeñas formaciones de "music creators". Por ello, este meetup mensual de carácter distendido (tomar algo charlando en una terraza) servirá para que los nuevos y antiguos miembros puedan conocerse para empezar a crear música juntos. Como organizador asistiré a todos estos meetup. ¡Os espero a todos! :) After the first two meetups we realized that the best way to proceed by now is to meet monthly in a relaxed manner (having a drink chatting in a terrace) to meet other music creators and then create new "small" music producers groups. As the organizer I'll be attending all these monthly meetups. Hope to meet all of you! :) Importante: En el punto de encuentro (el Convent de Sant Agustí) suelen realizar eventos. Si finalmente no podemos quedarnos en el bar publicaré en el meetup la ubicación final. De todas maneras, recordad que siempre estaremos de 18:00 a 18:15 esperando en la puerta del Convent. Important: Our meeting point (Convent de Sant Agustí) is usually organizing events. If this is the case, I'll be publishing in the meetup the final location. Anyway, we will always be at the front door of the Convent from 18:00 to 18:15 waiting for our members.

At Kovant, we learned this the hard way, going through four stages of trial and error before landing on something that actually works at scale. In this talk, Kovant's CTO will share the honest story behind that journey and reveal the approach that finally made it click for our teams. *By Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder* **Claude in Red Team and Blue Team Mode: From Breaking Things to Putting Out Fires (In Spanish)** A practical talk on how to use Claude for reconnaissance and early phases of pentesting (red team), as well as a technical aid for incident analysis (blue team). This talk explores what it truly means to be a hacker, separating myths from reality, and dives into a hands-on lab using Claude Code, covering setup, context, and operational rules. We introduce MCP as the interface that enables models to interact with tools, and walk through real testing targets and methodologies. Through practical exercises, we demonstrate how to identify web vulnerabilities, interpret Nmap outputs to prioritize risks and define next steps, and finally how Claude Code can also support defensive strategies, showing its value for both red and blue team scenarios. *By Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor* **\*\*\*** We’d like to thank our sponsor, **InnoIT** 🙌, for providing the space, snacks, and drinks! 🍕🧃 Don't miss it! 🎉 **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🎉 ¡Ya está aquí nuestro siguiente evento!** Después del éxito del estreno, estamos encantados de anunciar el siguiente evento de Claude Code Barcelona. ¡No te pierdas estas dos charlas y su correspondiente networking, esta vez gracias a nuestro nuevo host, InnoIT! **⚠️** E**l aforo es limitado .** Te recomendamos reservar la tuya cuanto antes.

En Kovant, lo aprendimos por las malas, pasando por cuatro etapas de prueba y error antes de dar con algo que realmente funciona a escala. En esta charla, el CTO de Kovant compartirá la historia sincera detrás de ese recorrido y revelará el enfoque que finalmente hizo que funcionara para nuestros equipos. *Por Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder* **Claude en modo red team y blue team: de repartir leña a sacar el extintor (en Español)** Una charla práctica sobre cómo usar Claude en tareas de reconocimiento y fases iniciales de un pentesting (red team), y también como apoyo técnico para analizar incidentes (blue team). Esta charla explora qué significa realmente ser hacker, desmontando mitos y conceptos erróneos, y se adentra en un laboratorio práctico con Claude Code, cubriendo su configuración, el contexto y las reglas de uso. Se introduce MCP como el mecanismo que permite a los modelos interactuar con herramientas, y se recorren distintos objetivos y metodologías de testing. A través de ejercicios prácticos, se muestra cómo detectar vulnerabilidades en una web, interpretar resultados de Nmap para priorizar riesgos y definir siguientes pasos, y finalmente cómo Claude Code también puede apoyar al blue team, demostrando su valor tanto en escenarios ofensivos como defensivos. *Por Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor* **\*\*\*** Queremos agradecer a nuestro sponsor, **InnoIT**🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos!🍕🧃 ¡No te lo pierdas! 🎉

**ProductTank NoVA is back!** After a brief hiatus, we are relaunching the chapter with a format that cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the reality of building.

Instead of a polished keynote, we are hosting **0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks**—a "Show & Tell" featuring 3–4 lightning talks focused on the intersection of AI and product. The framing for the talks is simple: *"Here is what I'm building, and here is what I'm stuck on."* We want to look at the messy, 0-to-1 reality of integrating AI into your workflows and products. *(Want to share what you are working on? Reach out! The bar is low-pressure, just 10–12 minutes to talk about a real AI problem you are trying to solve.)* **Agenda:** * **5:30 PM - 6:00 PM:** Doors open, networking, & name tags * **6:00 PM - 6:10 PM:** Welcome + Chapter Relaunch Intro * **6:10 PM - 7:30 PM:** Lightning Talks (Three 12-min talks + 5 mins Q&A each, with a 5-min stretch break) * **7:30 PM - 8:00 PM:** Open networking * **8:00 PM:** Soft close **Location & Logistics:** Herndon Fortnightly Library (Extended Hours Meeting Room) 768 Center St, Herndon, VA 20170 * **Parking:** We'll meet at the library, located just behind the Herndon Municipal Center.

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“A Deep Dive into the Declaration of Independence,”** on the origins and impact of America’s founding document, with Denver Brunsman, chairman of George Washington University’s history department, lecturer at Mount Vernon, and noted scholar of early American history and the American Revolution. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-deep-dive-into-declaration](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-deep-dive-into-declaration) .] The celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary will take on much deeper meaning if you take time to fully understand and appreciate the document that declared our independence from England and gave rise to the American experiment. Learn essential lessons about the Declaration of Independence from Denver Brunsman, is an incredibly engaging speaker who has built a big following among Profs and Pints fans in and around Washington D.C. Professor Brunsman will start by discussing the Declaration’s background, composition, and philosophical underpinnings. You’ll learn how by 1776 American colonists had resisted British policies for thirteen years and endured open warfare with Britain for more than a year. We’ll look at how this imperial crisis influenced the Declaration’s primary author, Thomas Jefferson, as well as the larger Declaration Committee and the Second Continental Congress. In recent years, scholars have focused particularly on the previously underappreciated grievance section of the Declaration. Rather than simply being an afterthought to the more famous preamble (“all men are created equal”), the grievances followed a logical order that carefully presented the case against King George III and the British Empire for a “candid world” to consider. Professor Brunsman will fill you in on how that list of grievances rallied Americans and other nations to the cause. A document both timeless and of its time, the Declaration quickly soared beyond its humble origins as a committee report to become synonymous with American independence and an inspiration for rebellion elsewhere. Dr. Brunsman will consider the place of the Declaration in American life, from the eighteenth century to today, and how the document helped shape much of American history while influencing “the course of human events” throughout the world. The talk will close with customary toasts from the American revolutionary era. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image: From an idealized Jean Leon Gerome Ferris painting of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams drafting the Declaration of Independence.

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Popes and Politics,”** on the history of clashes between pontiffs and world leaders, with Vanessa Corcoran, medieval historian at Georgetown University and scholar of the history of the Roman Catholic church. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/northern-virginia-popes-politics](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/northern-virginia-popes-politics) .] President Trump recently shocked many by unleashing personal attacks on Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, in a post on the Truth Social platform. Trump has been widely criticized by religious leaders for these remarks, made in response to the pontiff’s advocacy of peace with the U.S and Israel at war with Iran, and for his separate posts of AI-generated images depicting himself as a pope and as Jesus. For his part, Pope Leo has told journalists, “I am not afraid of the Trump administration,” and has found himself at the center of a heated debate over the proper role of any pope when it comes to commenting on global politics. As unsettling as such developments might be to Roman Catholics, they’re hardly unprecedented. Disagreements between popes and world leaders go back to the Middle Ages, and have played a significant role in shaping the Church and its role in the world. Explore the long history of popes’ conflicts with politicians with Vanessa Corcoran, a historian of the Roman Catholic Church who previously has given excellent talks on papal conclaves and the evolution of nativity scenes. She’ll discuss fascinating developments such as the fourteenth century Avignon Papacy, when Philip IV of France got the upper hand in a feud with the Church by pressuring a papal conclave to select a French pope and then getting the church’s leadership relocated from Rome to Avignon for nearly 70 years. In drawing parallels between recent events and medieval attacks on the Church’s authority she’ll describe how today’s anti-Church memes echo the anti-pope and anti-Catholic images that Martin Luther disseminated in large numbers with the help of woodcut printing. We’ll look at tensions between past presidents and past popes over not just wars, but issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and abortion access. The talk will leave you with a deeper appreciation of the inherent tensions between politics and matters of faith. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

We’ll break the rest of the meeting into two working sessions. In between, we’ll do a quick check-in to see how folks are going. If the RSVP is full, come anyway. We'll likely have space.
