Agenda
\- 10:00 \- 11:00 Introduction \+ Talk by Magnus Mårtensson
\- 11:00 \- 11:30 Coffee break sponsored by Context&

**Talk description - "Azure AI Foundry" by Poul Kjeldager Sørensen (Context&)**
What do you actually use Azure AI Foundry for, when you're building real solutions — and what could you use it for tomorrow?
That's the question we're bringing to the stage.
Context& is taking part when Microsoft hosts Build // Local — an in-person event for developers and cloud engineers who want to build AI solutions on Azure. Hands-on rather than slides.
In our 40 minutes, Poul Kjeldager Sørensen walks through a customer story that starts before Foundry even existed — following the journey through upgrades and toward putting the full Foundry toolkit to use.
Along the way we show the concrete picture: what we use Foundry for right now, and where we see it heading. From being purely a token provider to building agents directly in the platform.

Coffee Talk
Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now?
Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be.
Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t.
Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.
Shut Up & Write!™ Copenhagen
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
- 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros.
- Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour.
- After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Ideation - Mind over Machine
**As you may have noticed, the Danish DevOpsDays chapter is folding, it's over — and then again it's only just beginning!**
The association activities and initiatives rises like a Phoenix project (pun intended 🤷♂️) and will carry on in "Mind over Machine"
Mind Over Machine is s non-profit Think-tank, Laboratory and a Community of Practice. We have a ton of ideas on what to get startet at, and we are inviting to our first **Ideation event**.
This is a cross-post event from the
👉 **[CPH DevX Café event](https://www.meetup.com/cph-devx-cafe/events/315066432)** 👈
...but you are welcome to just sign up here in the DevOps CPH group.
**Regenerative software may just be the most purposeful rabbit hole you could dive into RIGHT NOW and we want to explore it together.**
**— Where do we see potential for regenerative software?**
**The purpose is simple**: Generate ideas that can form the foundation of the first projects to run in the laboratory: A survey, an Open Source tool, an article, a podcast, a tutorial, a model ...anything goes really!
Maybe you are a student and need a purposeful topic to base your master-thesis or internship on. Or maybe you just dream of joining forces with others around ideas you have, that would make the world a better place - **this is it!**
**We will collectively generate, challenge and shape the initial ideas that could define MoM. Expect slightly half-baked thoughts and enthusiastic disagreement.**
Join our Open Space style meeting for generation of initial ideas. The program will play out roughly as follows:
* Brainstorm ideas, record them in an online backlog
* From stage, briefly pitch each idea in the backlog
* Upvote the ones that you believe in and would like to contribute to
* Similar to Open Space Discussions, we will organize in parallel groups in short time slots and each group will discuss and record project details and perspectives to the ideas
* If possible we will organize in work groups around the most vivid ideas and launch projects.
**Prior to the event (optional):**
You are welcome to take a jump start and present some of your ideas, even prior to the event. The following is a short description on the infrastructure and process we will use.
1. Create an [account on GitHub](https://github.com/signup) if you haven't already.
2. We will be working in the [GitHub Discussions (Ideas category)](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/categories/ideas) in our @mindovermachine-dev organization.
3. You will see that there are already a few ideas drafted out.
4. CONTINUE! Add your own ideas. If someone else already wrote an idea you like, vote it up, comment on it, supplement it with your own perspective.
5. Consider reading the [Guideline for suggesting ideas](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/3) first
**See you there 🌱**

Rethinking Work: Starting the discussion
Work is evolving.
But are our organizations evolving with it?
This event is the starting point of a series of interactive sessions exploring how work, management, and culture are changing, and what that means in practice.
**Join us to explore:**
* Emerging workplace trends
* Different perspectives on leadership and work culture
* Real-life experiences, challenges, and experiments
***
**What to expect**
* Interactive discussions (not lectures)
* A structured debate on key workplace trends
* Practical examples from organizations experimenting with new ways of working
* Small group conversations to exchange perspectives
***
**What you’ll leave with**
* New perspectives on the future of work
* Concrete ideas to reflect on or try in your own context
* Connections with people exploring similar questions
***
This session is inspired by insights from Corporate Rebels and other practitioners, but it’s not about promoting one single model.
Instead, we aim to create a space for open, constructive discussion on what actually works, what doesn’t, and what might come next.
***
**Hosted by**
SimCorp has graciously offered to host our first event. Many thanks to Pawel and the team!

**Want to contribute?**
This is just the beginning. If you’d like to help shape future sessions or suggest topics, feel free to reach out.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
