[English version below] Cześć, Mam ogromną przyjemność zaprosić Was na pierwsze spotkanie organizowane wspólnie z łódzkim oddziałem **EPAM**. W planach dwie prezetacje odnośnie AI: **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** oraz **Spring AI**. **Ważna uwaga: spotkanie wyjątkowo zaczyna się o 17:30!** Hi, I’m very happy to invite you to our first meetup, which is being organized in collaboration with the Łódź branch of EPAM. We have two AI-related talks planned: **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** and **Spring AI**. **Important note:** this meetup will **start at 17:30**. **Spring AI** Transforming your existing Java applications into intelligent, AI-driven systems no longer requires a PhD in Data Science or switching to Python. In this session, we explore how Spring AI brings the familiar power of the Spring ecosystem - portability, modularity, and POJO-based design - directly into the world of Artificial Intelligence. We’ll move beyond basic API calls to show how you can harness Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI and Google Gemini using the same @Service and dependency injection patterns you use every day. We will provide an overview of the major capabilities and also dive into the latest Spring AI v2 milestones that position Java at the forefront of the agentic AI wave. By the end of this talk, you’ll see how Spring AI acts as a bridge that allows Java developers to build production-ready, intelligent features without reinventing the wheel. **Dzmitry Sidarenka** Dzmitry has nearly 20 years of experience specializing in systems built with Java. He is passionate about building and testing robust APIs and is known for thriving in high-pressure production incident troubleshooting. His work focuses on designing reliable, maintainable services and improving system resilience through pragmatic engineering practices. **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) often feels like a magical black box. But once you start experimenting with it yourself, it quickly becomes clear how powerful the combination of information retrieval and generative AI can be. Key topics: \- What is Retrieval\-Augmented Generation \(RAG\)? \- Why should you consider using it in your own projects? \- Key RAG components and how the workflow operates \- How to build your own RAG solution using Java \- Live demo of a Java\-based RAG project and ways to extend and improve it **Ahmed Samy** Ahmed is a Senior Software Engineer at EPAM Systems. As he jokes, he often feels like a junior at work - mostly thanks to his constant curiosity and desire to keep learning new things. In his daily work, he actively uses AI as a learning companion, exploring new ideas by experimenting, testing different approaches, and working with various pieces of code. **About the partner** EPAM is a global leader in AI transformation engineering and integrated consulting, serving Forbes Global 2000 companies and ambitious startups. With over thirty years of expertise in custom software, product and platform engineering, EPAM empowers organizations to become AI-native enterprises, driving measurable value from innovation and digital investments.

## Beads: Go Open Source Projects in the Age of AI Hello, 世界! For meetup #58 on Tuesday [Mar 31, 2026 19:00 CET](https://www.meetup.com/leipzig-golang/events/312537698/) we are happy to have [Akim Zmerli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akimzmerli/) give us an intro to [beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads), specifically: > How agents perform long-running tasks and pass context seamlessly to each other. [Beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads) is a rising Go project that brings structured planning to any workflow, whether agentic or hands-on. [Akim Zmerli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akimzmerli/) will present his favorite techniques, TUI projects and what Rob Pike thinks about the current state of affairs. The beads project is less than six months old (2025-10-11), but already well beyond 250 KLOC, with more than 200 KLOC written in Go. We are always interested in developer tools. At [#44](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-44-wrapup/), less than two years ago, not a single AI coding tool did make it to [our list](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-44-wrapup/). Looking forward to this foray into the agentic coding space. ### Schedule * 18:45 Doors open * 19:00 Welcome * 19:10 Beads * 19:45 Open discussion We’ll meet: * in person at [Basislager Leipzig](https://basislager.co), at [Peterssteinweg 14, 04107 Leipzig](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1fMkeDSPZ7Aauszh8) ([OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3504864558)) * and online via [Jitsi](https://meet.jit.si/LeipzigGophers58) Join us to discuss SOTA dev tools and more.

As a follow-up to our macro class and to get ready for our May and June Field Shoots, we are going to have a macro training "class." I will attempt to work through a number of macro shoots with the group. Those with cameras can try to shoot the same subjects I am shooting. We will start with some small objects and work our way down to smaller and smaller ones. As we photograph each subject, we will consider depth of field, focal plane management, subject composition, background, and lighting. I have no idea how many subjects we will get through, but we will give it our best shot (pun intended!). Bring your camera, whatever macro gear you might have, a tripod if you have one, whatever lighting you may have, etc. This will really be an exercise in seeing what you have, me showing you some ways to approach the subjects, and seeing what works! I am going to add an extra hour to this meeting! CYA There!!!!! Meeting Schedule: 1. 6:00 - Introduction, Meet New Members 2. 6:10 - Old Business 3. 6:20 - New Business 4. 6:30 - Starting Shooting Small Stuff 5. 9:00 - Adjourn Pre-Shoot Brief/Education: Macro Madness!

Join us again this Saturday for drinks and sweets at this delicious Vegan co-op bakery. Mingle with likeminded Columbus Vegans. We will aim to sit outside after purchasing items and hopefully taking in cooperative weather. Special note on parking: Please try to park along Acton, Richards and/or Chatham streets so as to free up the lot at the back of the building for pick-up orders. Thank you. 😊 Patty Cake offers everything from cupcakes, cookies, cakes, muffins, whoopie pies, as well as gluten free goodies. They also have coffee, oat milk and cold brew

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!
