Navigating Kubernetes Policies with Kyverno 🚀
Navigating Kubernetes Policies with Kyverno 🚀
Join us for our first [Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/)-dedicated meetup before the summer break 🌴 We want to thank **[Schwarz Digits Spain](https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwarz-digits-spain/)** for kindly hosting us for this evening of learning and networking! **🧭** **What is Kyverno?** **[Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/)** is a CNCF-graduated, Kubernetes-native policy engine. Unlike other tools that require learning a new programming language, Kyverno allows you to manage cluster governance, security, and compliance using familiar Kubernetes manifests. With zero coding required, you can easily: * **Validate**: Block non-compliant resources before they hit your cluster. * **Mutate**: Automatically inject sidecars, labels, or configurations on the fly. * **Generate**: Automatically create new resources (such as NetworkPolicies or ConfigMaps) when a new namespace is provisioned. **📅 Agenda** * **18:30-18:45**. Doors Open. * **18:45-19:45**. Talks (see below). * **19:45-20:30**. Mingling and food. **📍Location:** c/ Bergara 13\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zd6h3BGzHNxgAgjT6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zd6h3BGzHNxgAgjT6) **🎙️ Talks** **1️⃣ The Kyverno Five: New Policy Types And What You Can Do With Them**, [Cortney Nickerson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cortney-nickerson-26836413a/) *\- Head of Community at [Nirmata](https://nirmata.com)* (Talk in English 🇬🇧) As Kubernetes has evolved, so has Kyverno! This talk provides a tour of the five new Kyverno policy types, ValidatingPolicy, ImageValidatingPolicy, MutatingPolicy, GeneratingPolicy, DeletingPolicy, with real-world examples of how you can use them to solve complex security, automation, and governance issues. The talk will end by showcasing how you can combine the usage of these policy types, for advanced platform engineering solutions. **2️⃣ Kyverno más allá de la validación: automatización con mutación y generación de recursos**, [Javier Dompablo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/javier-d-62a7b824b) - *Expert Platform Engineer and Product Security en [Schwarz Digits](https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwarz-digits-spain/)* (Talk in Spanish 🇪🇸) En esta sesión exploraremos dos de las capacidades más potentes de Kyverno: la mutación y la generación de recursos. Veremos cómo automatizar las configuraciones, aplicar de forma transparente los estándares de la plataforma a los equipos de desarrollo y reducir la carga operativa mediante la creación y la modificación automáticas de recursos en Kubernetes. A través de ejemplos prácticos, descubriremos cómo implementar políticas que mejoran la consistencia, la seguridad y la gobernanza de los clústeres sin necesidad de modificar las aplicaciones. See you there 👋

**‼️IMPORTANT! Please register on [Luma Page](https://luma.com/1gb0mkfm) ‼️** *Everyone is talking about AI. Few are sharing what actually happens after the headlines.* *What does AI look like when it moves beyond the hype, LinkedIn hot takes, and “10 prompts that will change your life” energy? How are people really using it inside startups, businesses, education, community building, and product development?* Join us for an evening of practical insights from founders, builders, educators, and innovators who use AI in real projects — not just talk about it.

¿Por qué aprendes idiomas tan lento? (Y cómo solucionarlo)
¿Por qué aprendes idiomas tan lento? (Y cómo solucionarlo)
Cuando me mudé a Barcelona, trabajaba muchas horas y aun así no encontraba con quién practicar español de verdad. Probé cursos. Probé Duolingo y Babbel. Todos me daban la misma sensación: ejercicios sin gracia sobre temas que no me interesaban, completamente desconectados de mi vida real. Así que me inventé mi propio método. Y funcionó. Aprendí español en 4 meses, y ahora estoy acelerando con el francés, no en un aula, sino integrando el idioma en mi día a día. Justo eso es lo que voy a compartir en esta sesión gratuita de una hora. **Lo que te llevarás:** * Por qué los métodos tradicionales te dejan estancado en el nivel intermedio * Lo único que de verdad marca la diferencia (y no es más clases particulares) * Prácticas diarias que puedes empezar mañana, pensadas para tu vida, no para un libro de texto **¿Para quién es esto?** * Llevas tiempo aprendiendo un idioma pero te has quedado atascado entre el A2 y el B2 * Quieres usar el idioma de verdad, no pasarte años persiguiendo la perfección * Estás abierto a replantearte cómo aprendes **Logística:** Nos vemos en SandwiChez para tomar un café todos juntos y hablar de nuestra experiencia con los idiomas.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
