Python kao produžena ruka Atlassian admina
Uvođenje Jire i Confluencea u većim organizacijama obično kreće postupno. U početku ih koriste razvojni timovi, zatim se uključuju marketing i ostali odjeli, a s vremenom Atlassian alati postaju centralni dio svakodnevnog rada.
Kako instance rastu, administracija, sigurnost i održavanje brzo postaju složeni i teško upravljivi kroz sam UI.
U tom trenutku Python postaje praktičan alat za Atlassian admine i konzultante. Kroz API-je omogućuje analizu stanja sustava, masovne promjene konfiguracije, upravljanje korisnicima i izradu izvještaja koje Jira i Confluence sami ne nude.
Na prvom ovogodišnjem **Atlassian Community Eventu u Zagrebu**, **Tomislav Sablić** će kroz konkretne primjere pokazati kako koristiti **Python** u svakodnevnom radu s Jira i Confluence instancama te kako takav pristup pomaže **uštedjeti vrijeme, smanjiti rizike i zadržati kontrolu** nad velikim sustavima.
**Datum**: 5.3.2026.
**Vrijeme**: 17:30
**Lokacija:** Radnička cesta 37A, 4. kat, ured Koiosa
**Agenda:**
* Registracija sudionika: 17:30-18:00
* Tomislav Sablić: Python kao produžena ruka Atlassian admina: 18:00 - 18:45
* Q&A: 18:45 - 19:00

IoT Meetup at Concept Reply (Preparing IoT for the Quantum Era with DigiCert)
**Beer, Pizza and IoT Meetup (DigiCert Special)**
We would like to invite you to our next IoT Meetup at Concept Reply at the Reply offices in Munich.
PLEASE NOTE: THAT THE DOORS WILL OPEN AT 7PM DUE TO AN EVENT BEFORE.
**Agenda**
19:05 – Securing the future Internet of Things with ML-KEM and ML-DSA (Talks by Kevin Hilscher and Daniel Stroehmann from DigiCert)
20:00 – Pizza & Networking
**Description**
Today’s Internet of Things (IoT) relies on a variety of protocols and communications technologies…CoAP, LwM2M, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi, Thread … many of which are not quantum-safe.
While large-scale quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption aren’t yet available, the concept of “harvest now, decrypt later” is a significant concern. Now that NIST has released final versions of its first three Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards the race is on to make IoT quantum-safe.
**We will explore**
* What it takes to make an IoT solution quantum-safe.
* The algorithms regulators, such as BSI, are recommending.
* How to implement and transmit data between a device and an MQTT broker with TLS 1.3, ML-KEM, and ML-DSA using open-source tools.
Please feel free to forward this invite to anybody who might like to take part.
PLEASE NOTE: This Meetup will get streamed and recorded so you may get filmed by taking part.
Due to limited capacity, we reserve the right to restrict admission.
Pizza, beer and seats first come first serve! :)

Integrare le Polarità: l'equilibrio tra Maschile e Femminile
**Maschile & Femminile: integra le tue polarità, potenzia le tue relazioni e il tuo business.** 🌗🔥
Ti capita di essere sempre “in azione” ma sentirti svuotatə?
O di avere grande sensibilità ma difficoltà nel mettere confini?
Il modo in cui vivi il tuo maschile (direzione, decisione, leadership)
e il tuo femminile (intuizione, ascolto, visione)
influenza **relazioni, lavoro e risultati economici**.
In questo workshop lavoriamo su:
🧘♀️ Mindfulness per radicarti e fare scelte più lucide
🎨 Arteterapia per dare forma alle tue dinamiche interiori
🔄 Costellazioni Familiari per sciogliere schemi che impattano amore e business
Perché equilibrio non significa essere “meno fortə”.
Significa essere **più centratə, più efficace, più autentica/o**.

Algorithmic Trading & Crypto
## (Lesson 2)
## What to expect
Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required.
### Why we meet (two-session structure)
This meetup is structured as **two lessons**:
**Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)**
* What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not)
* Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline
* What “24/7 execution” means in practice
* Q&A and open discussion
**Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)**
* A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need
* Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts
* A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions
(You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.)
### What to bring
To make the second lesson smooth, please bring:
* **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup)
* **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration)
If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both.
### Who this is for
* People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline
* Beginners who want a structured approach
* Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress
### Agenda
* Welcome + introductions
* Lesson focus of the day (Why / How)
* Guided walkthrough (where applicable)
* Q&A + next steps
### How to find the group
* Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group.
* I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Take a Hike! @ Sugarloaf Mountain
Come enjoy a day filled with fresh air, great views, and friendly company as we hike **Sugarloaf Mountain!** This hike is all about enjoying the outdoors, getting some exercise, making new friends, and sharing a memorable experience with a great group of people.
We’ll meet at the **West View Parking Lot** (check the map pin for the exact location) and head out on a **4.6-mile loop** that will take about **3 hours**. The hike kicks off with a good workout as we climb the steps to the mountain’s peak, where we’ll pause to take in the stunning views, snap some photos, and catch our breath. From there, the trail becomes easier, leading us on a short hike to another scenic overlook before wrapping up.
After the hike, join us for a casual meetup at **Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard**. Feel free to bring your own food, as it looks like there's no food truck scheduled. Please remember that outside alcohol is not allowed, but the vineyard offers wine by the glass for purchase. It’s the perfect way to relax, enjoy good conversation, and toast to a fantastic day spent outdoors.
We’re excited to have you join us! Be sure to wear your hiking shoes, bring water, and pack your positive energy. Let’s make this a fun and refreshing fall day together!
**Meeting Time & Location:**
We’ll meet at **9:30 AM** at the Sugarloaf Mountain West View Parking Lot. Look for us by the picnic tables near the trailhead.
**Distance:** 4.7 miles
**Elevation Gain:** 965 feet
**Difficulty:** Intermediate Hike
This hike is rated Intermediate for its moderate inclines, including a challenging staircase to the summit at the start. The trail then descends for about 3 miles, with a few final inclines returning to the parking lot. There are no stream crossings or rock scrambles.
**Estimated Duration**
This hike is expected to take approximately 3 hours.
**Pace:** Moderate Pace
We'll walk a steady, comfortable pace that’s manageable for most hikers with a reasonable fitness level. Breaks are regular but not overly frequent, allowing for a balanced experience of exercise and enjoyment.
**Parking**
We’ll park at the **West View Parking Lot**, which has plenty of spaces available and is a convenient starting point for our hike. Please refer to the event map to locate the correct parking area. Do not park at the East View Parking Area, which is the first parking area you’ll pass.
**Trail Map (AllTrails)**
[Take a Hike! (DMV) - Sugarloaf Mountain](https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/sugarloaf-mountain-3e10f9c-2)
Preview the hiking route on AllTrails to get familiar with the terrain. Download the map in advance to follow along and stay on track during the hike.
**Dogs on the Trail**
Unfortunately, this hike isn’t ideal for dogs due to the steep steps and narrow pathways. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly ask that you leave your pets at home. Thank you for understanding!
**Restrooms**
There are a couple of porta-potties located at the trailhead for your convenience. Be sure to plan accordingly, as these are the only restroom facilities available on this hike.
**Lunch After the Hike**
Join us for a relaxed lunch at **[Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard](https://www.smvwinery.com)** after the hike. Feel free to bring your own food or simply enjoy a glass of wine with the group.

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: A Practical Guide to Social Change
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“A Practical Guide to Social Change,”** a research-based look at how communities bring about reform and progress, with Marissa Robinson, founder of Real Health Impact LLC and an adjunct professor at George Washington University who teaches courses focused on public health leadership and social change.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-social-change](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-social-change) .]
Systems built on inequality rarely transform without deliberate pressure from the people most committed to justice, because progress takes coordination, conviction and willingness to change what has always been accepted. Real change starts when people choose to move together.
Learn what research and experience say about how to make real social progress with Dr. Marissa Robinson, a public health practitioner who previously worked in federal agencies coordinating global and national public health initiatives focused on infectious diseases, HIV, and health equity.
Among the key questions she’ll tackle: How do communities overcome barriers to create real change? When should evidence guide decisions and when does context matter more?
She’ll discuss established frameworks for moving from intention to measurable progress and talk about the importance of building coalitions that actually work and of making decisions grounded in real data. You’ll learn about the importance of testing ideas on a small scale before going big, as well as how to use rapid feedback loops and continuous improvement cycles to refine approaches and scale what truly works.
Dr. Robinson will share stories of ordinary people and communities who refused to accept the status quo and pushed through real barriers to achieve breakthrough results. She’ll talk about practical strategies, usable frameworks, and evidence-based examples that people can apply immediately in their own communities and organizations to support change that lasts.
If you have dreamed about bringing about progress in your world, this talk will give you the clarity, direction, and confidence it takes to turn such dreams into reality. ( Door: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

**🌿 Description:**
Early March, by the water, carries a different kind of awakening — **softer, reflective, spacious.** 🌊
Nestled around a 350-acre reservoir Beaverdam Park offers wooded paths, natural-surface trails, and peaceful lake views. Forest and water meet here, creating the perfect setting to slow down and listen.

After enjoying a snack & sipping foraged tisane/tea while sitting near the water, we’ll settle in for an **immersive outdoor sound bath**. 🎶
Singing bowls and resonant instruments will blend with the soft lapping of water, breeze through branches, and birdsong overhead. The lake amplifies and carries sound in a uniquely soothing way — supporting nervous system reset, emotional clarity, and deep restoration.
We’ll close with a silent walk back along the trail, taking in the serenity of forest and water.
🌿 **A morning of reflection, resonance, and renewal.**
