Magic: The Gathering

We are back for another edition of the GitHub User Group. This month we dive into using Copilot and AI to enhance the design workflow, and look at how we can leverage AI in our GitHub Actions. **Product Design with Source Control: Using GitHub, AI, and Preview Builds as Your Source of Truth \~ [Walt Lim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/waltzaround/)** In this talk, Walt shares how he uses GitHub and AI to rethink the design process, moving beyond traditional prototypes to code as the source of truth. By using pull requests and ephemeral preview builds, he creates fast, realistic, and testable environments where ideas can be reviewed, iterated, and validated in context. Combined with AI-assisted workflows, this approach helps his team move quicker, reduce ambiguity, and make better decisions with less overhead **From One PR to Another: Agentic Workflows on GitHub \~ [Sinan Nar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinannar/)** A live demo of using AI-driven workflows to trigger actions across repositories—automatically creating a PR in a second repo when changes are merged. bio: Sinan is an Apps and AI Consultant at ARINCO, a Microsoft and GitHub partner consultancy. He co-organises the Aotearoa Azure User Group and the Auckland .NET User Group. An experienced and certified software engineer, he specialises in the Microsoft ecosystem, with a focus on Azure and GitHub. **Agenda** 5:30 - Start of pizza and networking 6:00 - Talk 1 6:30 - Break 6:40 - Talk 2 7:15 - Finish Please make sure to register for the event as we need to provide contact details to Microsoft for security purposes. Registration will close 48 hours prior to the event to provide enough time to send out the access passes for in-person attendees, but you can [join online](https://aka.ms/aotearoanzgithub/stream) on the day. If you have a topic you'd like to present (or hear about) please reach out, or create an idea in our [GitHub Ideas discussion board](https://github.com/orgs/NZ-GitHub-UG/discussions/categories/ideas).

Meet at Gemüt (on the patio) at 6:30 for our first Patio Society event. RSVP to let us know you’re coming!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.
