Streamlining Release Processes in Large-Scale Environments
presented by Yuri Kudyn from Release Management Apps
Agile and DevOps have revolutionized software delivery, but implementing them effectively in enterprise environments demands additional strategies, practices, and tools tailored to organizational complexity.
Quality gates, compliance checks, dependency tracking, and linkage management are essential components of any large-scale release process.
In this session, we’ll explore how Atlassian Jira, Release Hub, and Marketplace apps enable smooth, compliant releases across complex enterprise ecosystems. From complex dependencies to compliance hurdles, we’ll break down the biggest release management challenges and how to tackle them effectively.
AI Apps builder for Jira (No-Code Way to Build Forge Apps)
presented by Stepan Fedortsiv from Saasjet
Jira teams often need custom dashboards, panels, or reports that aren’t available in Jira’s native features. In the past, building these solutions required development skills and time to write code. AI Apps Builder for Jira simplifies this process. Instead of coding, users can describe the solution they need in plain language, and the AI generates a secure Forge app ready to deploy, no coding required.
Join Stepan to see how you can build Jira apps faster with AI and Forge, and turn ideas into working Jira solutions in minutes.
Good to know: Our Brussels venue is located within the city’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ). If you’re coming by car, please check in advance whether your vehicle is allowed. Public transport is a great alternative.

The Details:
Meeting Point: Right in front of Cafe To Meli (near Rond-point Schuman).
When: Sunday, March 29 th at 09:30 AM.
Bag Drop: Available. Feel free to leave a jacket or a change of clothes so you can stay warm post-run.

The Pace: We are keeping it inclusive and controlled at a comfortable 6:00-6:15 min/km.
This is all about time on feet and building that community spirit. Let’s get those kilometers in together!
See you at Schuman,

We'd like to thank [Adesso ](https://www.adesso.be/)for graciously hosting!
This edition features **3 talks**!
* *Finding Java Memory Leaks with Heap Dumps (JDK 25)* by [Badr Kacimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/badr-kacimi/)
* *Vibe Coding a Home Server on the Raspbery Pi, What AI-Native Development Actually Looks Like* by [Wim De Troyer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wim-de-troyer-40647b130/)
* *Fraud detection on card transactions, Supervised learning with extreme imbalanced data using Python* by [Franck Benault](https://www.meetup.com/members/127308222/)
Come join us for this next event!
**Schedule**
\- 18:00: Doors open \+ Food and Drinks
\- 18:45: Intro and BeJUG updates
\- 18:50: Talk 1 \- *Fraud Detection*
\- 19:05: Talk 2 \- *Vibe Coding a home server on the raspberry pi.*
\- 19:30: Little break
\- 19:45: Talk 3 \- *Finding Java Memory Leaks with Heap Dumps (JDK 25)*
\- 20:30: Mingling \+ Drinks
**Topics**
**Finding Java Memory Leaks with Heap Dumps (JDK 25)**
This talk will demonstrates how to identify, analyze, and fix Java memory leaks using heap dumps and practical JVM diagnostic tools in JDK 25.
**About Badr**
Badr Kacimi is a Senior Software Engineer at ABN AMRO Bank and GenAI Whisperer at Blue Harvest Belgium.
With a strong Java background in large-scale banking and booking platforms, he now builds financial risk models in Python.
**Vibe Coding a Home Server on the Raspbery Pi: What AI-Native Development Actually Looks Like**
It's been over 3 years since the release of ChatGPT and the innovations in the AI space still do not seem to be slowing down.
On the contrary, agentic tooling like Claude Code and Codex have since launched, kept improving, and according to some have now recently reached an inflection point where they can handle long running coding tasks (mostly) unsupervised.
Let's find out together if those claims hold up and what that new AI native development looks like.
We'll do this by showcasing a very personal case study.
Over the past few months, I've developed a home-server setup on my raspberry pi with tons of weird and quirky apps all developped with varying degrees of AI assistance.
Join me to find out how that went, how much time I saved (or wasted!) and my biggest take-aways and future plans.
**About Wim**
Wim is a freelance Software Engineer from Belgium with around 7 years of experience. He focuses on backend web development, using the Spring Framework on a daily basis.
He's a firm believer in learning something new everyday (not just about java or spring!) and doing so in public is always the greatest motivator.
So he blogs on wimdetroyer.com, and talks occasionally in front of an audience when he can muster up the courage.
**Fraud detection on card transactions, Supervised learning with extreme imbalanced data using Python**
I will explain:
* The context and the goal of this work (supervised learning)
* The challenges related to the data (availability and preparation)
* The strategies to apply when dealing with severe class imbalance
**About Frank**
Research and development engineer in computer science, Java developer, passionate about physics, astronomy, and cosmology.

• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value

COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'!
Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life.
Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio.
Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision.
Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge.
