Finally! Someone who gets Agile and DevOps — to the point🤖
**[Klaus Bucka-Lassen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/buckalassen/)**: *An agile advisor and consultant with 25+ years experience with helping organizations streamline their agile processes.*
**[Lars Kruse](https://www.lakruzz.com/):** *A Continuous Delivery and DevOps evangelist and consultant with 25+ years experience with helping organizations streamline their SDLC processes.*
**For 25 years we've been preaching the basic principles of Agile and DevOps to teams, colleagues and clients.** Both Agile and DevOps have been declared DEAD many times. But now it's apparently *un-dead* (pun intended🤷♂️), as Agentic AI matures by the hour — a whole new breed of code contributors are entering the stage.
And they get EXACTLY what it's about: **Agentic AI may just be the the best Agile and most DevOpsy team mates one could dream of.**
What could possibly go wrong now?
You are hereby invited to a **short intro** (roughly 30 mins, expect slightly *provocative* and *opinionated* content — something that old men are still way better at than AI) followed by a facilitated **lean coffee discussion** on an *apocaloptimistic* perspective on:
***"What the heck is going on in Agile and DevOps Right Now"***
The venue is a bar 🍻 - so do not expect anything other than lively discussions with peers.
We're kicked out of the Workbar at 19:00 by the latest, but if the sentiment is right we may continue on to somewhere else and grab a bite after.
\- Cheers\!
Danish Language Cafe
https://www.facebook.com/korsgadesprogcafe/

If you have an exam coming up, we can speak about your exam subjects some of the time.
Small donations (10-20 kroner) are appreciated, to support the rent of the place.
You find us in the basement of Korsgade 19. It is a door to the right of the main entrance.

Service Operations Workspace - Smart Customizations
**Join us for a Copenhagen ServiceNow Developer Meetup focused on smart customizations in the Service Operations Workspace (SOW)!**
This session tackles one of the most common pitfalls in ServiceNow projects: customizing Workspaces without a clear strategy. We'll look at where ServiceNow is taking the Workspace model, whether your organization is actually ready for it, and how to define a customization approach that serves your users - not just your backlog.
A big part of getting this right is understanding your audience. Who is actually using the workspace? What do they need to see - and just as importantly, what should they never have to deal with?
We'll work through how to segment by user group, define what's relevant for each, and build a strategy that holds up over time.
**Program:**
* Welcome & intro
* ServiceNow's Workspace vision -where it's heading and why it matters
* Is your org ready? An honest readiness check
* Defining your SOW strategy: audience, scope, and what to skip
* Q&A and networking
**Remember to bring your laptop!**
**Grow your network** — This is a great opportunity to engage with fellow ServiceNow developers, swap war stories, and pick up practical ideas you can use the next day.
**Win swag** — We'll draw winners of cool ServiceNow Developer Swag!
Make Your Own Ceramic Candle Holder 10.05

Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis
Thanks to everyone who joined for the latest event on Zora Neale Hurston’s *Their Eyes Were Watching God*. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend myself as I was ill, but I’m very glad to hear that the discussion went well. A special thanks to Clark for sending me the information about which book was chosen as the next one.
The next book to read is the Greek classic *[Zorba the Greek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorba_the_Greek)* (1946) by [Nikos Kazantzakis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikos_Kazantzakis). My apologies for putting the next event up later than usual.
Set on the island of Crete, the novel follows an intellectual narrator who meets the larger-than-life Alexis Zorba — a man driven by instinct, passion, and a deep love of life. What unfolds is both a philosophical and deeply human story about freedom, friendship, and what it means to truly live.
A short description of the book reads:
*A classic of modern Greek literature, Zorba the Greek contrasts the life of the mind with the life of action, as the narrator is drawn into Zorba’s vibrant, impulsive worldview. The novel explores existential questions about joy, suffering, and the human condition — all through the unforgettable character of Zorba.*
You can read more about the book on Wikipedia [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorba_the_Greek), find it on Goodreads [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53639.Zorba_the_Greek) and listen to it as an audiobook [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO5Ij2fbkpc).
There is also a famous film adaptation from 1964, *[Zorba the Greek](https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/zorba-the-greek)*, starring Anthony Quinn. The film was very well received and won three Academy Awards (including Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography), and was also nominated for Best Picture. It's not, however, that easy to come by, unfortunately.
For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the *[About](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/)* section on the front page of the group.
We meet up on **Saturday, May 9th, at 4 p.m.**
The location will be [The Garden of The Royal Library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Library_Garden,_Copenhagen). During the spring and summer months, we always meet outside here. If the weather turns rainy, we will simply move indoors. But fear not, we will be back at The Fireplace Lounge in autumn.
Please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read.
And, as always, please be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels welcome and appreciated.
In the meantime, happy reading/listening/watching — or however you prefer to do it.

Café Philo Copenhagen
We meet on Saturdays late mornings to have a casual, meaningful conversation on topics of interest to everyone chosen on the spot by majority voting. So please feel free to propose your own topic!
Everyone is welcome to talk, but if you prefer to just join and listen, that is perfect too.
As the contacted cafés usually only give reservations to eating guests, it is very welcome if you order something to eat during our stay. This is however not mandatory.
This event is in English.
The exact place can still change.
Where Am I Right Now?
Feeling stuck, unsure, or just tired of thinking about “what’s next”?
In this 90-minute interactive workshop, we’ll take a step back and look at your current situation—without judgment or pressure to have answers.
Instead of trying to “figure out your whole life,” we’ll focus on something simpler:
👉 getting a clear snapshot of where you are right now
You’ll explore:
• What’s currently working (and what’s not)
• Where your energy goes in daily life
• Which area of your life feels most out of balance
And most importantly:
You’ll leave with one small, realistic step to improve your situation.
🧭 This session is part of a 6-part series, but it also works as a standalone workshop.
No preparation needed. Just bring yourself.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
